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!

Free Republic Caucus 2016 04/28 (100th & Last Day)

LOL, now that’s funny.

[Windflier]

Hey Nacho,

I’m sure we’ll all find another gathering place in the FR universe. Heck, we can even create one out of thin air, if we so choose. Call it, The Witching Hour Thread, or anything we want :-)

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it.

LonelyBull followed your lead and never voted in the caucus, and he never participated in any pro-candidate or anti-candidate bashing here on the discussion threads. A neutral discussion-thread host. :)

[Windflier]

Hey Bull. Thanks for filling in for me these last ten days or so. It’s most appreciated.

Thanks also for posting your links table every night. Next to the caucus itself, I think that has been the most valuable addition to the experience.

DoughtyOne! Lonely Bull! Windflier!

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you Onyx.

Impressive.

Thank you for all your hard work. Go Trump! Our next President.

Once the votes are all tabulated and posted, and the last discussion thread is gone, I’ll have no more reason to be here after 9 PM, pacific time.

For the past 3+ months, these threads have been the end of my FR day, and I’ll miss “seeing” you guys.

Thanks for your contributions to the Republic.

A VERY BIG DITTO!

I looked forward to the graphics and relationship to the news on a daily basis. Thanks for all the hard work.

[Windflier]

Thanks for posting the delegate breakdown chart. I’ve missed it the last couple of nights, and have been itching to see the simple numbers and percentages all in one place.

[Company Man]

WELL DONE to all who labored long and hard to make this inaugural Free Republic Caucus a stunning success!

Best 100 Days on FR!

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

Thank YOU.

This thread was about the only thing kept me sane and coming back to FR. (The trolls almost ran me outta here.)

Now, I’ve just got to gut it out until the Montana primary.

...we’ll probably just get to be a footnote to the process again, but that at least spares us the robocalls.

[Windflier]

Yer welcome! It was a pleasure to do what little I did to help out.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, I did engage in the give and take on the forum.

Non the less, I expect folks to vote for who they want.

If I see something on the forum I disagree with, I’m not surrendering the right to object for 100 days at a time like this.

All I can do is apply the rules evenly, warn folks just the same, count, and report out everyone’s votes.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you.

[Persephone Kore]

Thank you for all the effort behind these FR caucus votes.

I’ve been voting most days: first for Rand Paul, then, when he dropped out, for Ted Cruz (as the best remaining candidate on the issues).

But today, for the last caucus, I simply voted No. I still don’t think Trump is the right person, but I can no longer support Cruz.

Cruz’s selection of Carly Fiorina as promised running mate is the last straw for me. If he had chosen a liberty-minded person, that would have sent a signal that I would have appreciated. But Fiorina? No.

[DoughtyOne]

It might interest you to know that I held off reporting out some observations regarding the votes until the end of the 100 days.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you too, for participating.

“I still have no idea which GOP candidate Lonely Bull supports. :)”

Who says he supports a GOP candidate?
