    He looked at Trump and his shenanigans and said, "If he can do it, I KNOW I can". Fortunately the Irish seem to be much smarter at making choices.

      Summary

      Conor McGregor’s bid for Ireland’s presidency has been overwhelmingly rejected by politicians, with all 134 Oireachtas members surveyed by Sky News refusing to support his nomination.

      Citing his divisive rhetoric, lack of qualifications, and ongoing legal battles—including a rape verdict under appeal—politicians used strong language to dismiss his fitness for office.

      McGregor’s anti-immigration platform, announced after meeting Trump, is believed to be more about boosting his U.S. profile than a serious campaign, as experts say he faces significant hurdles to appear on the ballot.

            We heard similar responses about Trump's first candidacy... Hopefully this sticks.

                    McGregor assumes raping a woman is the only qualifier for president. So this makes sense.
