I just hope we can all come together for the general after this brutal primary season! :-/
Good luck with this. You are more than going to need it. BTW, libbylu got zotted. A cpl others too. Been nice (Not so) knowing you.
“BTW, libbylu got zotted.”
WHERE??? I could use the laugh before I go to bed.
He/she/they will be back in a couple days I am sure.
“So far, everyone that’s attacked me has gone right down the tubes.”
-Donald J. Trump
BTW, TBBT is gone as well.
You want me to be “zotted?”
What have I done to be kicked off of FR?
She is a she and went off the deep end when a thread showing Heidi Cruz went **cookoo post birth was posted. Nothing wrong with **post partum stuff IMHO, but it made **libbylu go bat poop crazy.
**Note to self... Women are unpredictable and scary.
Backed the “wrong” candidate, it would seem.
You have done nothing but screed deary. Move on. Walker is gone. There are many steps to grief. Get over the anger part. I actually like you. I am just warning you many are gone. Jim has apparently had his fill of this crap.
Good. CW better watch herself. Her harpy screed has me at the end of my rope. I have to imagine the powers that be are getting close.
No different than being zotted here 4-5 years ago just for criticizing Sarah Palin
That would rain hell down on you from 90% of the forum and could result in the Lightning Ride from Fresno
Nobody complained the much did they?
Hell no people cheered....I got slimed just for saying I thought she was running even I’d just paid 700 bucks to see her at a relatively small private function
And btw....some of those folks who were the loudest callers for the zot then turned right around this time and ridiculed Sarah Palin for endorsing Trump
Primary season brings out the N&Ns
Nuts and Nasties
The Cruz or else crowd went bonkers because they got close and it hurts
I understand that part of it
He’s young and this race exposed his flaws....he can return
Trump likely will serve only one term...he needs to pick a good VP
Trump 28% Cruz 25% is really pretty close. And the snow is gonna fall Monday night...I believe the Cruz’s true believers will prove the more hardy voters.
Oh, I don’t know 2DV - I know there is a huge backing for Ted Cruz on FR.
Ted Cruz’s supporters are just more polite and tend to “sit back” when swarmed by commenters who post over the top personal insults (I know first hand) - a tactic done to divert attention away from serious issues and from candidate vetting, by dragging the tenor of debate into a brawl.
I’d read about the snow.
I agree with your take.
Selzer is a great pollster; REALLY good.
This article is correct; the entire thing hinges on Trump’s supporters actually attending the caucus. The extreme wing of evangelicals WILL be there duly supporting Cruz as instructed.
The Trump campaign knows this and is doing a good job of educating new attendees as to how/where to cast their vote. Generally, it is very difficult to get normal people to show up at these things...but I think we may just do it this time!
What “crap”?
It’s up to the caucus voters and we’ll know soon.
Apparently a few Trump supporters want Jim Robinson to make this a "safe space" for them. ;-)
Do you see Trump’s flaws?
According to poll analysis, in a one-on-one between Cruz and Trump, Cruz pulls 53% to Trump's 33%.
That is what stings so badly! We could get Trump, a candidate most GOPers DO NOT WANT, let alone most general election voters, just because of vote-splitting among everyone else. This suggests heavily that Cruz must stay in all the way to the end, because as other candidates drop out, support will coalesce among Cruz.
This poll also shows that Cruz would only get 1 delegate less than Trump if the results stand. So not a substantive "loss" at all.
