No problem.

The tally has settle down a bit by now, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see more changes in the next few days.

I’ll still post those on threads from time to time, particularly after each round of primaries or caucuses.

I have sometimes wondered what it would take.

I can’t stomach her.

Thanks for your note. I appreciate your position, but I do believe Trump will wind up being someone you will appreciate.

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.

That's for sure! One of the best things about the caucus result was the ability to watch Trump support gain day by day while Cruz support faded.

I can't imagine how insufferable the Cruz supporters would have been without verifiable proof that their man wasn't winning. Even being able to see that they were in the minority they were obnoxious enough.

Great Graphic! We are all imperfect even and maybe especially those who make the best leaders. Trump shares what he is thinking and believes and what is inside of himself without worrying about whether it has been cleared with a focus group or will be praised by the pundits. He has the self confidence to do this. We don’t need another phony politician to tell us all what we want to hear. We need a true leader.

The caucus has been my favorite feature on Free Republic for the past 100 days. I think that I voted in every one. I at least voted in every one after I found out about it. Thanks to DoughtyOne, Lonely Bull, Windflier, and anyone else who helped. I think that the importance to the forum has been immeasurable. This election cycle has been much more contentious than others I can remember. I believe that the caucus gave clarity into the mechanics of what was going on and actually helped keep the peace.

Yes, I always thought the discussion threads were a great place to air out the pros and cons of our candidates.

Also, I sensed some pro-Cruz people targeted you in particular in the discussion threads, so I was in favor of you defending yourself and Trump here, even though you were the facilitator of the FR Caucus votes.

Better here in the discussion threads than within the FR Caucus threads.

I still can’t comment on the Cruz folks related to the caucus.

After the caucus is over I’ll have some observations.

I’ll intend them to be educational, but I’m sure some won’t see it that way.

Thanks for your comments.

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

Can't wait to see the report!

I hope so, because I think Trump is going to win in November. (The polls right now give Clinton a strong lead, but I think things will change rapidly when people see Trump vs. Clinton in the general election campaign.)

No matter what else is said, only one of them clearly loves this nation and wants to return it to better times.

The other want’s to change it so it NEVER returns to those better times.

Folks will reflect on that.
