You being sick of them and ranting about it has little to do with whether Jeb Bush is nominated or wins. The GOP-e does not care what those who vent their opinions on FR think.
I would disagree.
FR is used by many to get a barometer as to how the most Conservative among us feel.
Rush uses FR as show prep. Many more people view this site than you will ever realize.
JimRob has created a site that has an enormous impact. Whether we know it or not.
Can’t say for blue or purple states, but from what I hear out and about, sounds like FR ain’t far off what lots are thinking.
