Hysterical! The GOP is so perfectly predictable...what a joy it would have been if they had treated candidate Obama with such vigor and hate.

Do they STILL not know that this is precisely WHY Trump is alive and they are DEAD?

ALERT !!!...FLORIDA FREEPERS STRAW POLL...ALERT !!!

Florida freepers from the Central and Southern FR chapters had a great get-together Sept. 16 for a "FReep the Debates" large-screen TV viewing/private-facility party.

Co-hosts were MinuteGal/Leni and Ken50/50 (Ken).

Tasty buffet supper, fun debate-watching, many door prizes and, of course, fantastic freeper fellowship.

Present were many Tampa Bay-area freepers, lurkers and guests. Also honoring us with their presence were Matchett P-I who is the Florida Central FR Chapter Leader and Seek the Truth who is the Florida Southern Chapter Leader.

Co-host Ken50/50 circulated a GOP candidate straw poll for the attendees to fill out anonymously during the second debate.

The entire survey is posted on the Florida state forum board. Highlights of the poll are as follows:

Your first choice for the GOP nomination: Trump 45%, Cruz 22%, Carson 11%

Who would you NOT support under any circumstances: Jeb Bush 35%, Graham 28%, Trump 11%

Your most important issue: Illegal Immigration, 40%, Jobs/Economy 22%, Federal budget Deficit, 16%

Your 2nd most important issue: Jobs/Economy 22%, National Security/Foreign Policy 11%, Illegal Immigration 11%

Your least important issue: Same-sex marriage received 50% of the vote.

Choose your ideal GOP ticket (not necessarily your two top choices):

Trump was either 1st or 2nd on 38% of the vote
Cruz was either 1st or 2nd on 50% of the vote
Fiorino was either 1st or 2nd on 18% of the vote

The Ubermeister of the survey, Ken50/50 commented with several personal conclusions after tabulation, "First, Trump is the popular choice of Freepers attending the event and secondly, Cruz is a strong second and his support seems to be somewhat deeper than Trump's."

Ken added, "This straw poll would seem to agree with Cruz's apparent strategy (and his end game) of being nice to Trump and his supporters. If Trump's campaign falters, then Cruz is in line to pick up a lot of Trump's supporters...and even the Donald's endorsement."

I agree with Ken's analysis....and I think this is what that initial quiet meeting between Trump and Cruz a while back was all about...i.e., some kind of meeting of the two minds plus a long-range strategy of quiet but mutual cooperation.

What say you, freepers?

I probably shouldn’t have used that quote because Morton dies at the end.

That said, I like Jindal. Wish he would get more traction in this race.

While there are a couple other politicians running who would get our votes, my hub and I have always been fond of Jindal, and he is our first pick; it IS so sad he's not getting traction; we pray for the U.S. every day.

I like what Trump is doing though.

I know he’ll be a President I can be proud of.

I still like Tucker Carlson as he has enough class to know when to just smile and let somebody else stick their foot in it. :-)

Trump can dish it out, but he can’t take it.

The author of this sour and snotty hit piece is a yuuuuuuuge supporter of "same-sex marriage".   (See this article, which confirms that fact.)

(I think most of us could have easily guessed that by just looking at any of his online photos.)

He's been on Red Eye. Everybody on Red Eye supports gay marriage, no matter how conservative they may be on other issues. It has to do with living in New York City and being in the media and not wanting to look bad on television, not about what you're implying.

Lowery has gone off the Rez.

No! Lowery is running with the herd! The GOPe herd! Taking their talking points from higher ups at Fox News.

Lowery is definitely getting talking points and I would say from the RNC or the GOPe somewhere maybe National Review.
