Howdy y’all.

[corbe]

I voted Todd, cause in spite of his recovering Facebook photos, I just feel he can make America combustionable Again.

[DoughtyOne]

Good evening Lonely Bull. Hope all good with you.

Thanks for your dedication to the project.

Gotta admire the fortitude of Cruz fans to keep the faith in the face of being so badly outnumbered.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not convinced they are so outnumbered.

Their people seem to have the impression there is something dire about the caucus.

[sargon]

I see that Donald Trump is back to 6-to-1 over Cruz again tonight. Very consistent.

You'd think that if there were many more Ted Cruz supporters active on FR lurking in the shadows, they'd step into the light and try to give Ted the best showing possible for the daily FR caucus.

Personally, for active members, I think the daily caucus is a pretty accurate measure of the sentiment on this site with respect to President...

[Windflier]

A vote for Kasich? Who’s the wiseguy? LOL

[nopardons]

So do I, but we REALLY need to get more people to vote on the caucus thread.

[nopardons]

TODD?

[nopardons]

They're paranoid and stupid.

OTOH....there really aren't THAT many of them here anymore.

[altura]

Wrong, no pardons.

I am seeing more and more Cruz supporters posting on threads than I did for a long time.

I guess we got tired of Trumper sucking up all the air.

Not many of us participate in the Caucus, I’m sorry to say.

[Kenny]

I think there’s a shift in the race. I think Trump was always ahead but Cruz was always a solid second. Now he’s dropping. I think it’s for 3 reasons, 1) New York values and his stupid trip to the Bronx, 2) His joining the GOP to steal delegates and 3) Colorado.

Just my opinion but it seems that way to me.
