Free Republic Caucus 2016 04/21
I will miss my “be sure and vote on Doughty’s Caucus” routine.
I think I’ve voted almost every day since it began.
Thank you for faithfully keeping up with it every night. I have admired your consistency and faithfulness to your self imposed task.
Thanks for doing the discussion threads to accompany the Caucus/Voting threads every night.
Boo-frikken-hoo.
Excuse my snarky brush-off, but your post has such a high butthurt quotient, I just couldn't help responding in kind.
Frankly, JimRob is right. He's a veteran of these primary battles on the forum, and more than anyone, knows when it's time to call a cease fire, and rally the opposing sides together for the real battle.
I can appreciate how much you still support Senator Cruz, but the mental/emotional tide has now turned against him. Once that happens in a race, there's no turning it back. Perception is reality.
You’re welcome, Sock. My pleasure.
Ted Cruz is dead in the water an essentially ‘neutered’ by his association with the GOPe and his talk of ‘unifying the party’ for the last month or so, among other things.
Hillary Clinton will be the best president corporate “Wall Street” elites can buy.
The same elites that helped John Kasich win Manhattan on Tuesday.
At least Trump appears to oppose the crony capitalists on their plans to flood the country with cheap labor.
Ted Cruz talks about ‘religious liberty’ but is unwilling to call out the corporate elites by name for their opposition to the religious freedom law vetoed by Governor Deal in Georgia last month.
Unless Ted attacks the corporate elites (name the corporations and their executives as ‘traitors’) and their opposition to First Amendment religious freedom and Second Amendment freedom in Oklahoma as posted earlier tonight on FR and connect them to Hillary, he is lifeless to me.
Thanks for the link.
As I suspected, I did not see one word in JimRob’s post that spoke of Zotting anyone who disagreed.
Quite the contrary, I thought the tone of his post was conciliatory and welcoming. You can’t “put bruised egos behind us” and “heal our differences” without talking about things.
It’s quite obvious (to me at least) that JimRob is calling the GOP-E “treasonous” not people who in good conscience supported Cruz - or may still support him.
I know for a fact that JimRob was actually in favor of Cruz as well as supportive of Trump. I was of that same mind myself. In fact my opinion of Cruz changed as a result of his actions during the campaign (nothing to do with the bimbo eruption - I care not a whit for that.)
I read JimRob’s post as a call for us to unite in a drive to get rid of the GOP-E *and* the Democrats and I think your inference of threatened Zottings is reading in a bit much.
I, for one have looked forward to each and every one of the FR caucus threads so I could post my support for my candidate and not get hammered with insults.
You have done a great job and I appreciate your hard work to make it fair.
Thank You!
Thank you for your hard work.
Each night was interesting to me. Tonight’s will be also.
Folks are so funny...
Thank you.
