I know I will anger you folks, but
A. Cruz 2016
B. Anyone but the Donald. I’d pick K-sick over Trump.
I believe trump is a trojan horse working for the rats to do change his stripes and become Hillary light if he wins. They know Hillary has no chance and enough Republicans can be swayed with his rhetoric.
BlackFemaleArmyCaptain voted twice :(
Like trying to herd cats Doughty is !! Agree with the kudos.
I'd be happy with either Trump or Cruz. As a matter of fact, when watching the last debate I was thinking that I would find a position for each one of those candidates in the new administration. Just Trump or Cruz at the top.
I note that the first official vote after midnight EST was at 12:00:28 cast for Paul.......I might have figured - his people are avid for sure...
I also not that the last non-qualifying vote before midnight EST was cast for Cruz with the time of 11:59:59.
I’m joking really about the “Paul” vote. But what did disturb me greatly was that there were actually 2 votes for Jeb.....ugh....
Thank you for the discussion thread. It’s a good idea, lets folks discuss the process and keeps the thread clean.
I want folks to know I will be using Excel to create a spreadsheet with the vote. There will be sorting, and an elimination process.
Any violations will be caught. I’m not playing favorites.
You don’t need to send me a notice, and I’d rather not single folks out here who didn’t play by the rules.
I intend to send a note to each person who disqualified themselves using FReepmail. I wish I didn’t need to.
Coming up with preliminary results is okay, but I do want to urge you to only use estimates instead of hard counts. I do want to review the data before I come up with a final tally, and I don’t want folks settling on firm numbers before I review who disqualified their votes.
You may or may not catch them, so just approximates if you will.
On the forum I have advocated for Trump. I will not be voting in the Caucus. I don’t want to run it and then vote in it.
I will be as fair as I can be. It will never be my intent to suppress one Cruz vote. Please, Cruzers, read the rules and abide by them. Don’t put me in the position of having to cancel your vote.
I want this to be as fair as it can possibly be.
I am going to be providing a chart for each day’s vote, and what the trends are. For this reason I am applying the rules from day one.
I don’t want folks to be able to come back at me and say the first few days were tainted, because I didn’t apply the rules those days.
If anyone has questions, I’d be happy to answer them.
One other comment.
Folks, we have threads all over the forum where we are debating stridently who to vote for, and giving each other a hard time.
Whatya say we leave the debating to the other threads.
Let’s talk about the pros and cons of the FR Caucus, and the results here
We should have a haven from the storm.
It’s okay if folks wish to vote for Bush or anyone else.
We may not agree, but we shouldn’t badger people so that they don’t feel they can be honest.
Let’s not attack their votes elsewhere.
Pretend you couldn’t see their ballot.
Let’s treat this like an election, because that’s what it is.
Thanks everyone...
Should be a good thread and thanks to Doughty for the caucus thread.
Just glancing at the votes so far looks like a 50/50 split between Trump and Cruz.
Now you know why the Establishment wants to divide Cruz and Trump voters.
The good news is the Establishment candidates are all tanking. And that is just not on Free Republic, but all polls nation wide.
In other news, I met a real life Kasich supporter. Unicorns are REAL, y’all!
I think it’s a clever idea, and I’ll be interested to see the results.
I was amused to see the number of people who could not or would not follow the clear instructions.
Is this thing going to stay objective?
I think Donald Trump is a patriot. Like some of us he has kids and a young wife.He doesn’t want to leave us a mess when he dies.So he is taking personal responsiblity to do what he does best:LEAD.
He is a born leader and I think he will do well as potus.
I want Jim Rob for POTUS!
I can’t believe somebody actually voted for Yeb!
Vote Cruz
************************
Agreed!
Since the thread cannot be bumped, how do people ever get to see it to vote? Last night being on Doughty’s time zone I could see it and vote, but I haven’t seen it today. How to keep it prominent?
Also, I do hope there will be a way to see the results. We have had monthly polls here and I’ve voted in them but never seen a single result.
This election is about ending the siege upon freedom for Americans living in the USA as we are on the brink of being overrun. Nobody knows what that would feel like, except for those who understand that it’s been under siege for more than just a few consecutive years. These people will know when it’s happened if/when it does, while those who won’t will end up being in the way because they’ll be unable to lead or follow. There is still time for them, however little.
TRUMP THE VOTE!
TRUMP 2016!
