Thanks, and let 'er rip!

BLM types are the new commie hitler yutes. they have PLENTY of money and full on backing from our WH/fedgov/soros.

We, the decent patriotic citizens of America, can't be pushed forever. At some point this thing is going to break. I do believe they want it to.

Hmmm. I did some quick calculations and analysis using various techniques.
The statistical term to describe things would be “ass-stomping.”

Could be an anomaly.

[snarkpup]

Some folks don’t see it like we do.

Most members of the general public probably won't see it at all—if the wishy-washy reporting on this matter that I'm hearing on the top and bottom-of-the-hour newscasts on the local talk radio station is any indication.

[Windflier]

How am I “uncivil”?

Is it because I reject and repudiate Ted Cruz for being the overly ambitious phony that he is?

Or is it because my rejection of Ted offends you in some way?

[ColdOne]

Yes.and yes they do.

[Bobalu]

[MrEdd]

Oh.
Did Rubio suddenly become someone who didn’t pander to racial supremacist organizations during his Senate run?
How is he miraculously going to stop being a poison pill?

[Bobalu]

My count so far

Trump - 59
Cruz - 9

You forgot the sarc tag! (Somebody might really believe that you support that little illegal lover and amnesty/establishment POS Cabana Boy Rubio for VP).

Would it be too much to ask that you actually post the daily results here on FR, rather than on some unknown website we have to click through to?

[Windflier]

“Would it be too much to ask that you actually post the daily results here on FR, rather than on some unknown website we have to click through to?”

As a matter of fact, it is too much to ask.

Understand that DoughtyOne and Lonely Bull are doing this work as a labor of love for the entire Freeper community. They’re not getting paid for a single minute of the hours they put in on this endeavor each week.

Neither am I, though my small contribution is nothing, compared to theirs.

I hope that didn’t come across as harsh. I appreciate your interest in the daily caucus.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No cheap labor importers, that would be shooting out his own tires

“Would it be too much to ask that you actually post the daily results here on FR, rather than on some unknown website we have to click through to?”

As a matter of fact, it is too much to ask.

For anyone who doesn't know the fact: DoughtyOne is the one responsible for posting the results on a different site (in this regard, I just make the tables with the links to them).

I assume that the results are posted elsewhere because they may be too unwieldy to post in their entirety here. If anyone reading this post hasn't looked at the results pages yet, I'll tell you now that each daily page contains several components and aren't just vote counts in plain text.

If no one objects, I may look into posting something new in these threads, after the tables: it may be the counts from the previous day as text, or it may even be the image of the graph that shows the counts from multiple days (this choice has more possible problems involved). Neither would be very difficult for me to do.

Thanks DO, that’s excellent work, very informative.

[DoughtyOne]

No problem...

Never pick a VP that can’t be counted on to have your back. All of these could only be counted on to stab you in the back.
