Did the DNS outage cause the participation to drop last night? I couldn’t get on myself until just a couple of hours ago.
If there is a Brokered Convention and G.O.P pisses away it’s momentum with Shenanigans, than they are going to Lose in November, even if Cruz is the Nominee.
Whoever it is going to be needs to win outright. Too Much Bad Blood would have been brewed in our own ranks for the Repub Nominee to win. (We control our own destiny, 2016 is ours to lose)
And The GOPe and Bosses are perfectly fine with a loss.
Why? Because what difference would it make? Hillary is Pres? oh no....They still have their Buffets, Their Crackers and Cheese and they get to go to Nine Rivers Country Club every Sunday, so shut up base.
CRUZ WINS WISCONSIN!! GO, TED, GO!!
That's a fact, and voices are rising over this issue all across the country. It's why the RNC put out their little 'instructive' video about brokered conventions.
They're absolute morons if they think the voters are going to go through four years of broken promises, then turn around and let them steal the nomination process away from us without repercussions.

Results: 2016 04/05 on the forum
I was able to get here using the numerical address about noon today but I couldn’t get logged in until about 5 PM.
I did manage to keep my perfect voting record intact by voting for yesterday’s caucus this afternoon.
I suspect after the Wisconsin victory today, the cruz people will be fired up and ready to vote in today’s caucus.
Poor Ted.
He won Wisconsin and went from needing to win 88% of the remaining delegates, to 94% of the remaining delegates.
The 19th is coming.
Guess what happens on that day.
The Cruznadian will be numberically eliminated from getting 1237 delegates before the convention.
Subverting the will of the voters will then be his only route to the nomination.
Yes, I was pretty much locked out for about 18 hours.
I was very very lucky to get the thread up last night.
I found a window of about fifteen minutes and got it up.
Then it was spotty from then on.
Look at Ted's must-have percent for remaining delegates.
63# Wisconsin rules!
Cruz brought the cheese, Drumpf brought the whine. ;)
I can't say, but the numbers of voters for both "major" candidates did decrease over the past day compared to recent trends.
(I myself never had any noticeable problems with this site. I'd guessed that participation in yesterday's discussion thread was low because I posted it later than I intended.)
Cruz would not eliminated until Trump gets to 1237. If Trump does not get to 1237, there will be lots of non-Trump delegates and unbound delegates who could go to Cruz’s column.
Does that mean Kasich brought the fruit?
