Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the thread.
Looks like the percentages are staying solid.
Congrats, Donald.
Go, Ted.
Hope everyone will come together to defeat Hillary no matter which of these men win the nomination.

Ooops .... don’t know what happened. I think my PC had the hiccups.

Win 10?
Guess I need a glass of water for this darn thing. Hope this one doesn’t post twice. :)
Howdy, howdy. Looks like it’s been another wild day in campaign news.
I hope for the best, but its hard to see people on the board of Eagle Forum who support Ted Cruz going after Phyllis Schlafly with their coup against the president of the organization the other day.
This would be like trying to depose Bill Buckley at National Review if he were still alive.
Things are going at a very low level right now and its sad to see things like the governor in North Carolina amending the LGBT law recently signed, caving into the corporate elites whose major agenda item of importing large numbers of foreign workers is strongly opposed by Trump.
Ted Cruz should be calling out the corporations and their executives by name for opposing the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion in this country.
A lot of the bulk in Free Republic today seems to be people copying and pasting from themselves, and commenting on one another.
Perhaps, but it's all beginning to sound like an enormous piece of fabric ripping apart, to me. I was listening to Limbaugh today, and he struck me as someone who's literally lost their mind. I couldn't take it, and had to turn him off. That's been happening more and more, lately.
It's gotten to where I rarely read more than the first twenty five posts on any thread, here. People have nearly quit talking to each other, and now seem to be throwing bricks.
I’m voting Trump, but I think Cruz would be an excellent president. I hope the Trump-Cruz wars will end soon, especially here on FR.
Cruz and Trump are both imperfect but they agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
Let’s face it: The GOPe tactic of “Why don’t you and him fight” is working to absolute perfection.
Except when pompous bums like those Colorado Republican Party “leaders” let the mask slip as they did with that stunt they pulled.
Yeah, the Caucus system is flawed. So are political parties. Primarily because there is a reliance on the honor and integrity of the political party members organizing the thing to (theoretically) represent the wishes of the members/voters.
The Colorado Fiasco just proved the total absence of either honor or integrity as well as a complete and utter contempt for its membership throughout the whole establishment. Both parties.
So [fill in the blank] won Colorado this week.
Big whoop.
Next week, that same “leadership” could write in another name and anybody thinks for a second they wouldn’t/couldn’t is delusional.
Nice win, Cruz voters. Hope it doesn’t turn to sh** too fast.
Yes, I’m worried about our country. This is a crazy year and I’m aware that the GOPe are using Cruz. After they destroy Trump, the will destroy Cruz and we will have another President Clinton.
I agree with Jim, we will need to stay drunk for 8 years.
There’s a little truth everywhere from the GOP governors caving on religious freedom bills because of big corporations pressuring them to Bernie Sanders saying Hillary Clinton is bought by Wall Street.
These elites run the country and what alternatives do we have with the big parties so corrupted.
Glenn Beck used to talk about Gandhi and Martin Luther King or I would say ‘going beyond politics’.
Meaningful non-violent spiritual resistance and sure as heck not resorting to intoxication of any kind seems to be the way forward.
