It’s an interesting window on FR and its posters.
Yep, agree. It’s pretty easy to see a cycle with the caucus/primary dates. Of the two, both Trump and Cruz have had a victory. It seems that when a preferred candidate doesn’t come in first, their supporters take a break from the the internet to lick their wounds, and then gradually get back to normal-ish equilibrium.
Fun to see in chart form.
One aspect I find quite fascinating is the diverging trend, which puts Trump about 30% above Cruz, even though they started out quite close together. That’s about double the 15% or so margin we see in the national polls, even though I would think that FReepers, being engaged in politics, are not “last minute” deciders.
