Donald Trump has opened up a marginal lead over Ted Cruz in the voting on the Free Republic Caucus thread. Yesterday's vote revealed a 51.88% to 45.31% preference for Trump.
The Free Republic Caucus (daily) has been up and running for four days now. The first day was the 20th, and we're in the midst of voting on the fourth day now. Over 300 people have participated each day.
The Free Republic Caucus has been instituted to determine what the preference of FReepers was. It is being run each day leading up to and into the Caucus and Primary season, so that we can determine how dynamics of the day are impacting people's preferences here.
Does daily news impact our preferences? Do endorsements impact our preferences? Are arguments on the forum affecting our preferences? Are candidates actions impacting our preferences?
There are five important dynamics to the Caucus daily results.
1. What are FReepers preferences
2. Is there a trend over time?
3. How many people are contributing to the consensus
4. How large is the voice on Free Republic.
5. What caliber of people are representatuve of this forum.
It would be nice if thousands were participating in this activity. Those who review what is going on here should be able to see a robust participation. The more participation, the louder our voice will be.
Results of the prior day's voting is linked at the bottom of the initial post starting each new day's Free Republic Caucus. Once you see that day's vote, you'll be able to move backward to see other day's votes.
Statistics of the vote are presented. A graph reveals what the trend has been.
Rules are applied evenly and fairly to both main groups of supporters on the forum. The thread has been regligously dedicated to being a place where folks can go and vote without distrubance and infighting.
May the best man win.
If there are any questions regarding the Free Republic caucus, please ask away.
Once again, to those who have participated by voting for your prefence and abiding by the rules, I think the forum has been very well represented by your actions. Thank you very much.

This is today’s Free Republic Caucus thread

Vote Cruz
What’s gonna happen here at FR when Trump takes Cruz on as VP? Or, vice versa?
Do those sheep belong to the flock of Cruz or for Trump?
I appreciate the caucus. You did an excellent job setting this up.
That would be an interesting day.
I would love to divide the votes up into states. If you want to start having people vote with their state/territory listed, I will do the leg work to add up the “delegate totals”
Example:
Vote Cruz Texas
Vote Trump New York
Preference isn’t bias.
Maybe it just represents the folks who becomes unreasoning cultish type fans of any candidate.
What's going to happen if Trump takes that left hand turn? Is this site going to follow him? What will be our future?
Better yet whats going to happen when Trump gets the nomination? Lots of slow walkin and sad singin at CW’s house. :-)
I haven’t voted so all results are invalid. Think I’ll keep it that way.
+1! Thank you so much, D1!
51 to 45 is not a “narrow lead” it’s a substantial lead.
You should amend that line to read, May the best man or woman win, or, May the best candidate win.
“Maybe it just represents the folks who becomes unreasoning cultish type fans of any candidate.”
Or, put another way, voters.
