Donald Trump has opened up a marginal lead over Ted Cruz in the voting on the Free Republic Caucus thread. Yesterday's vote revealed a 51.88% to 45.31% preference for Trump.
The Free Republic Caucus (daily) has been up and running for four days now. The first day was the 20th, and we're in the midst of voting on the fourth day now. Over 300 people have participated each day.
The Free Republic Caucus has been instituted to determine what the preference of FReepers was. It is being run each day leading up to and into the Caucus and Primary season, so that we can determine how dynamics of the day are impacting people's preferences here.
Does daily news impact our preferences? Do endorsements impact our preferences? Are arguments on the forum affecting our preferences? Are candidates actions impacting our preferences?
There are five important dynamics to the Caucus daily results.
1. What are FReepers preferences
2. Is there a trend over time?
3. How many people are contributing to the consensus
4. How large is the voice on Free Republic.
5. What caliber of people are representatuve of this forum.
It would be nice if thousands were participating in this activity. Those who review what is going on here should be able to see a robust participation. The more participation, the louder our voice will be.
Results of the prior day's voting is linked at the bottom of the initial post starting each new day's Free Republic Caucus. Once you see that day's vote, you'll be able to move backward to see other day's votes.
Statistics of the vote are presented. A graph reveals what the trend has been.
Rules are applied evenly and fairly to both main groups of supporters on the forum. The thread has been regligously dedicated to being a place where folks can go and vote without distrubance and infighting.
May the best man win.
If there are any questions regarding the Free Republic caucus, please ask away.
Once again, to those who have participated by voting for your prefence and abiding by the rules, I think the forum has been very well represented by your actions. Thank you very much.
I understand your argument, but I want to voice an alternative view.
Trump is now leading the polls in Iowa. Doesn’t the bad weather impact him more? Does that help Cruz?
I want a daily consensus because I would run one or two Caucuses, and we’d be to February 2nd already.
I want almost a couple of weeks worth of days look before that.
How do you not know that he will begin supporting things that he claimed that he didn't support this month, that he actually supported in the past and bragged about it and even gave millions of dollars to prove his support?
He really likes Nancy Pelosi or did you not know that? Like this guy:
“:^)
Thanks.
Then, thank you for allowing me to have an opinion.
Thank you. Post it whenever you like.
Okay, if you like. I like that.
Thank you.
I may add it in too. We’ll see. Thanks.
Thank you for the work involved in doing this.
Heads will explode.
I know some of you think we’ll fall in behind Trump no matter what he does. Have you considered that we’ll be yelling louder than you if he deserves it?
You don’t have to agree with me. You’re SlyFox. Why would I object? “:^)
Never cross the streams! Crossing the streams is bad!
Thank you.
“It would be nice if thousands were participating in this activity.”
Does anyone know how many active FReepers there are? Suppose Jim Rob has that info. It would be interesting to know.
Human sacrifice...dogs and cats living together....mass hysteria!
I don’t have any idea. Jim may, like you say.
Oh, please... It’s a traditional saying. Nobody takes it as being gender specific. Must we be that PC here?
Didn't know there was a daily caucus thread going, so was glad I stumbled upon your post.
Hey, glad you saw the thread.
