If you're participating in the Free Republic 2016 Caucus, this is the place to make general comments, which aren't allowed on the Caucus thread, per the rules.

I like tater tots. There, I had to get it out.

Vote poutine fries

I like tater tots.

Funny, we always called them tato tots.

You must be voting for that 'other' guy!

:-0)

“Vote poutine fries”

I would if my candidate came from Canada....JUST kidding!

Doughty One has posted the preliminary results from the first night's Caucus thread of 20 January 2016 here:

I understand my Candidate, when President, might offer “the other candidate” a gig as Ambassador to Canada.

Thanks for compiling those handy links, LB!

Thanks for compiling those handy links, LB!

You're welcome. I have the idea that someone should continue, adding links as the days pass. (Since there may be many days yet, I also have an idea that I should finally make my first HTML table, which would present these links in a form that'd be more organized and more compact.)

Interesting to see people still not following the directions on the Jan. 21 version. Still, maybe there will be fewer than 60 invalid posts today.

Not following the directions on the voting thread matches not reading the original post on a ‘regular’ thread.

[Tax-chick]

That’s a point.

Seems that simple directions are hard to follow for some.

Thank you, D1, for doing the caucus! And thank you, too, Windflier, for making this post!

GO TRUMP GO- MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Seems that simple directions are hard to follow for some.

Well, it's a time honored tradition at FR to not click through the excerpt to read the entire article, but apparently some folks can't even be bothered to read the original post.

Whaddya gonna do?

Doughty's adviso to NOT post comments on the Caucus thread itself, is posted at the top of the page, but it's in small text.

I'm going to suggest to him that he enlarge that one line so that it's more visible to first time participants.

Since there may be many days yet, I also have an idea that I should finally make my first HTML table, which would present these links in a form that'd be more organized and more compact.

I think that would really be helpful. You shouldn't feel obligated to take on the task, but it would surely be appreciated by many if you did.

Thanks!

[Tax-chick]

Good idea.

Am i the only one who got a strange desire to say more than 2 words on that caucus thread? That’s not easy! I’ve never said just two words since I’ve been here unless it was “ok” or “bttt” or “LOL” etc.

I have a solution, tho. Tomorrow I’ll make my inane, meaningless comment in my tag line, where it won’t make my vote invalid. Bwahahahahaha...
