Thank you everyone, now let 'er rip!

Symmetry

That’s a good way to look at it, I suppose. Thanks for the smile this evening.

[Windflier]

I think the Caucus threads are informing us as to where the conservative right stands on the two leading candidates, which is right down the middle.

As far as the other parts of the political spectrum are concerned, Trump seems to be dominating decisively.

Now that Ted Cruz is becoming a more viable candidate, I notice a new Republican pops up almost daily claiming that Cruz is not liked in Washington, D.C.

With me, such a declaration may be the finest endorsement ever made. Being well liked in the Halls of Congress in Washington, D.C., is akin to being the top inmate in a prison’s drug trafficking operation.

I can’t wait until we get to... LAST MAN STANDING.

Hopefully we can unite once that happens.

Vote Cruz

[UCANSEE2]

Well, it was either Symmetry or Stupidity. I went with the least inflammatory one.

[Blue Jays]

AGREE 100%!

• I like Ted Cruz and I will support his presidency.
• I like Donald Trump and I will support his presidency.
• Either is better than Hillary, Joe, Elizabeth, or Bernie.

[UCANSEE2]

If all else fails, write in this candidate's name on election day.

[UCANSEE2]

Actually, there are two separate concerns, and the line between them is very fuzzy.

ONE: Which candidate is more likely to win the election?
TWO: Which candidate will make the best President?

Vote Trump

ONE: Which candidate is more likely to win the election?
TWO: Which candidate will make the best President?

Yes! Those are two separate questions, and I think that the answer to #1 is Trump, but the answer to #2 is Cruz. I’m deeply concerned that Trump will be a disappointing President, which will clear the way for him to be a one-term wonder, handing it back to the Dems again . . . so they can finish wreaking the havoc that Obama has begun.

We need not to just win, but for our choice to do well and get the job done. Much depends upon it.

TWO is irrelevant if a candidate cannot fulfill condition ONE.

What you said.

[trisham]

Well done!

Thanks, Windflier!

Many Trump supporters, all across the fruited plains, have that ‘deep concern’ about CRuz. So, there’s that.

Lonely, can you add a field for results? I’m having difficulty finding them.
