Just wondering if you are automating the validation / counting process with software tools, or is it all manual?
THAT is the sole reason that Trump is running away with this primary.
He was keen enough to identify the number one issue of the American people, then boldly enter the race with an ironclad promise to totally eliminate that problem from our lives.
The rest of the field then played 'catch up' and 'me too' politics, when they realized they'd incorrectly positioned themselves, vis a vis, the chief concerns of the voters.
Unfortunately for them, the American people know real leadership when they see it, and are in no mood to accept substitutes.
TRUMP THE VOTE!
TRUMP 2016!
I'm not in any way "officially" involved with the caucus, but I have some tentative answers:
The results for each day's voting thread will be on that thread? Because thereafter there was discussion on the thread, after the results. Then people began voting on it again.
So I am lost as to where I am allowed to comment on the day's voting.
And what about those votes after the comments? Were they meant for the next day's voting?
I suppose that the late discussion was within the intentions of the thread, but the people who "began voting on it again" and cast "those votes after the comments" were doing so on the wrong daily thread (they should've voted on the thread for the 21st). Their votes will probably be either not counted at all or tallied simply as irregularities, without being added to the candidates' total votes for the proper day (again, the 21st).
Maybe we need to keep this commentary thread a running thread, and post the results only on IT so people can discuss the results?
I can see placing the results on a commentary thread (with a link at the end of the daily voting threads), though of course I won't be deciding in the place of DoughtyOne.
And stay strong with the NOTHING BUT THE TWO WORDS on the actual daily voting thread?
I agree. The instructions are in clear language in the original post (the options are even spelled out), and the procedure is easy to follow. I wouldn't like to make concessions that would force a manual count of hundreds of posts.
“the American people know real leadership when they see it”
Then how did we end up with a President Obama? Oh yeah, that’s right...he was sooo “Presidential”.
For most of the last hundred years, the White House has swung on an eight year pendulum between the two major parties. Only rarely, has either party managed to hold on to the presidency for more than two consecutive terms.
After eight years of a Republican president who was reviled by the left, and barely tolerated by the right, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the Dems would take the White House back in '08.
Do recall that our side didn't have a VP who was widely perceived to be the natural successor to the sitting president, nor did the Republicans run a dynamic, attractive nominee in 2008.
The Dems had the weight of the 'pendulum' on their side, and they put up a (seemingly) dynamic, attractive nominee, to boot. We never stood a chance, under those circumstances.
Good analysis.
And upon grabbing the WH, the Dems used massive deficit spending to reward their constituencies (both crony capitalists and entitlement army) insuring re-election in 2012.
Yep, and it didn't help that the Republicans picked yet another uninspiring RINO to run against Zero.
It's almost as if the GOP-e wanted to lose...
I chalk it up to low-information voters and fraud. Nothing will ever change my mind about that.
