May be a minority on FR, but apparently not so nationally...

Oh, really? In 2012, in August (I took a hiatus from FR then and didn't come back until after the election), I had been doing a long, similar count and found that a majority of FReepers resented Romney so much that they were inclined to refuse to vote for him. I not only thought they were a minority on FR (until I did the count), even after I did the count, I assumed they were a minority among American conservatives in general, and that Romney would win.

But in fact, FR's majority apparently represented the national majority. Romney LOST because apparently, the balance of conservatives refused to vote against their own interests.

What I'm telling you and FReeper Trump-firsters is that if Trump gets the nom, you had better be prepared for Romney ReDux.

I also notice that you have absolutely ZIP XERO NADA defense of Trump for his blatant lie, which was in fact the subject of the post you replied to and which only in passing referred to the fact that no wonder Trump is only preferred by a minority of FReepers -- Trump LIES. Bigger than Hillary's butt in a lime-green pantsuit, he lies to people in order to "win" them to his side. You can vote for that kind of "winner" if you want, but I will vote for something better.
