Everyone knows I prefer Trump, but I don’t want to give the Cruz folks a rough time.

I’d actually like to see them make it more competitive.

I am still amazed at how many folks support Cruz on the forum, then concede the vote in the Caucus to Trump.

What does that prove?

If I supported Cruz, you couldn’t keep me off the Caucus thread once a day.

All the Cruz support on the threads, and then allow it go look like this forum is captured Trump territory?

Strange...

That the number of Cruz supporters on FR appears larger and more numerous than it actually is. As you said, if you were a Cruz supporter, there's no way you'd miss voting in the caucus every day. Neither would I.

Many Cruz supporters at FR are almost fatalistically loyal to their candidate. Check the names on the caucus thread, and nearly every hard core Cruz supporter here is on there.

I think what we're seeing is an honest representation of how much support Cruz really has here. Checking the stats from the inception of the caucus, there's no question that FR is Trump country, with a smallish northern territory we fondly refer to as, 'Cruznadia'.
