I will either be voting for a third party or write in a candidate.
If I write someone in it will most likely either be Jeff Rense or David Duke

Difficult choice, a conspiracy theorist or a conspiracy theorist AND a Klansman!
Go with Duke, more batshit craziness for your vote.

My results were Green Party/Bernie Sanders. Not really surprised.
Bernie 87%
Hillary 83%
Jeb 53%
Randy 44%
It dropped off pretty much after that to 1% in common with Teddy Cruz. The only real surprise is how much this survey thinks I agree with Jeb. 😕

Somehow I am most like Bernie Sanders **and** Rand Paul on healthcare. WTF?!? Apparently I want single payer without government involvement. 😃
Hillary Clinton - 61%
Bernie Sanders - 58%
Jeb Bush - 54%
Rand Paul 51%
Scott Walker leads the rest at 27% with everybody else 25% or lower. Huckabee and Carson bring up the rear at 12 and 17% respectively.

I’m at 46-66% with every candidate save Rick Santorum and Carly Fiorina. My top two are Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul. This could explain why I have absolutely no idea who I like for US President at this point and am not really jumping on any bandwagon.
Bernie Sanders Democrat
on foreign policy, social, environmental, immigration, and healthcare issues.
66%
Rand Paul Republican
on economic and domestic policy issues.
63%
Martin O’Malley Democrat
on immigration and healthcare issues.
59%

I got 94% Sanders, which is not a surprise to me.
I’ll vote for Hilary over any Republican, unless they have a major shift on their SSM, Immigration, and Minimum Wage stances, to name but a few things important to me, but she just really doesn’t excite me much.

I really agree with and identify most with David Duke and his ultra conservative ideology the most.

So ultra conservative ideology = bigotry, didn’t know that, thanks for enlightening me.
This is what the Southern Poverty Law Center has to say about his background:
> [@](#):
>
> Since first making headlines for his neo-Nazi activities as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University (LSU) at Baton Rouge in the early 1970s, David Duke has built an international reputation as the American face of white nationalism and pseudo-academic anti-Semitism. In his various incarnations, Duke has been a neo-Nazi, a major Klan leader, a slick far-right politician and — most recently — a professional lecturer and author traveling the world to warn of a global Jewish conspiracy and seek the separation of the races. After winning a surprise upset in a Louisiana House of Representatives race in 1989, Duke got the attention of the world when, during the 1991 Louisiana governor’s contest, he forced a runoff with the Democratic candidate, Edwin Edwards. Although he ultimately lost a fairly close race, that campaign marked the apex of Duke’s career as a mainstream politician.

91% Sanders, a bit of Hillary and O’Malley, not much of anyone else. Jeb and Rand Paul did best among Republicans.

I think you mean “reactionary”.

Which ideology do you like the best- his racism, support of Nazis, anti-Semitism, homophobia, or homophobia?
