DO NOT VOTE ON THIS THREAD.
This is the nightly DISCUSSION thread for the ongoing 2016 Free Republic Caucus. Per caucus rules, no comments are allowed on the caucus thread itself - hence this open chat thread.
If you'd like to vote in the caucus, please look in the sidebar for the link, or check downthread here.
Thanks, and let 'er rip!

Trump has not yet won the majority of the votes in any state. The only place he’s gotten the majority of the votes is the Northern Mariana Islands. In every state where he’s won, the majority of the votes have been against Trump, but divided among multiple alternatives. This whole primary season has been a race between Trump and the Not Trumps, and the Not Trumps have been winning.
“I’m getting about 250-400 posts per day now, What with votes, responses, and pings.”
I’d run screaming .. LOL
That’s got to be a full time job.
That’s another caucus situation.
The GOPe has a very strong hand in those. Delegates are hand picked people who love the party over anything else, it seems to me.
Cruz cranks out good numbers in them.
I don’t place much hope on caucuses going for Trump.
They are GOPe havens IMO.
Which is very easily done with just two states...N.Y. and any of the the other ones still left.
He’s wrong; I think that he’s just trying to be diplomatic.
No, the not Trumps have not been winning. Trump has been winning.
That would mean Cruz was getting pummeled worse than Trump. Any way you spin it, Ted loses.
He’s not getting Trump’s level of support.
Don’t believe everything you hear along these lines.
Folks toss this sort of stuff out, because they can’t claim to be winning.
I like both, and there are things about both I don't like.
The biggest problem I see is choosing between which one can win the election and which one would make the best President.
If I’d known that Ted would go to Washington and begin running for president before his seat was even warm, I never would have voted to send him there.
He did the same thing to us Texans that Obama did to the people of Illinois.
I don’t need to respond to the votes, so that’s okay. The other stuff is just normal.
I’ve got it down to where I could do the caucus in less than an hour per day. I might even be able to do it in 30-45 minutes, if I had to.
I take my time and triple check things so the threads and links will operate smoothly.
Each night I am posting results by 11 to 12 minutes after the hour.
That’s not too bad.
He’s making money and keeping it for another run at being governor, probably.
I agree. California has something like 172 delegates.
I’m not sure who Ted thinks he’s fooling.
He’s still asking for money too. How do you justify ripping folks off at this point?
Well... his wife will be running things anyway, and I'm pretty sure she's eligible.
It’s one of the last hopes for the nevertrumpers.
I hope they lose, but you’re likely correct.
I’m still hoping for the Brussels effect.
Yeah I know , sorry I missed that you had mentioned that .
It’s late and I am tired .
Cruz did THE worst, in any primary season, in his own state, where 56% of the votes were NOT CRUZ.
“Our votes are considered more of a suggestion than an imperative.”
The movers and shakers in the Republican party had better come down off their cloud and seriously contemplate the ramifications of what they’re now contemplating.
If they dare to ignore the clearly expressed will of the people in this election, they’re going to cause a voter rebellion that will destroy the party, and quite possibly the union itself.
I’d like to think so also, but I’ve written off caucuses.
Primaries where the extended rank and file get to vote, are a cross section of the party. Caucuses are merely echo chambers of the GOPe.
That’s my take.
I agree with your hopes.
Crazy Glenn Beck has now claimed that Ted is THE ONE, prophosized by Moroni, or whomever and is the Mormon "WHITE HORSE", to be president.
So besides filling his coffers, I don't know why Ted is staying in, besides the fact that he has always been an arrogant little POS, who has vast delusions of grandeur.*shrugs*
He's NOT Obama ( he won't get the votes due to his skin color, nor this ethnicity ), but he's very like Obama, personalitywise.
She’s eligible, but she’s a mental case.
