Which Candidate Are You Most Like?

Yes, I did. However it didn’t help and as far as I could tell all the possible answers are too much sound bite.

I am in an odd political place on this board. I am liberal on social issues, a mild hawk on military issues and conservative (not social conservative) on spending.

In other words, marry whomever you want, military force can be useful at times and get our budget under control.

On a lot of issue I believe the arguments miss the real problem. For example, on health care I believe the issue isn’t getting everyone insured but rather putting systems in place to lower costs and the rest will follow. However, politics has become about ideology first and everything else is a distant second which bothers the hell out of me.

Oh well. Taint gonna change anytime soon.

Well, that was both expected and illuminating.

It pegged me as a ‘slightly left of’ centrist, which is right on the money. It also pegged me as a Hilary girl (78%) with Bernie nipping at her heels at 77%. The shocker came in the top Republican I matched - Marco Rubio (37%)? Really? What? I guess I should pay more attention to what he’s saying. Maybe he’s smarter than I thought. lol

To no one’s surprise, Jeb came in last on my list at 6%

46

Woah, 98% Ben Carson… I didn’t see that coming. I need to take a closer look at him.

I’m just kidding, he’s a dipshit. My actual numbers are:



Sanders   97%
Clinton   92%
O'Malley  77%
Huck      37%
Paul      23%
Walker    13%
Carson    12%
Cruz      11%
Fiorina   7%
47

When I click back to my results via Chrome History I now get different numbers:
Sanders 99%
Clinton 87%
O’Malley 67%
Christie 64%
Bush 27%
et cetera.

I did NOT retake the test; I just clicked to what I think is a record of my original answers.
Did the website recalibrate the results somehow, perhaps changing candidates’ stances? What happens when others click back to their results?

Bernie Sanders 97%
Hillary Clinton 88%
Martin O’Malley 68%
Rand Paul 30%
Chris Christie 30%
Mike Huckabee 27%
Jeb Bush 23%
Donald Trump 19%
Ben Carson 15%
Scott Walker 11%
Marco Rubio 9%
Lindsey Graham 8%
Carly Fiorina 7%
Rick Santorum 6%
Ted Cruz 3%
Rick Perry 3%

Frankly, I’m surprised that the GOP got this much on me. I guess if you throw crazy shit at the wall, some of its bound to stick.

What’s interesting to me is that with Paul, it was some foreign policy issues that I agree with him on. He’s for giving some rights to terrorists and trying them in court and not a fan of spying. With Christie, he’s an alternative energy guy and so am I.

For a lark, I looked at the bottom and saw that I agree with Perry on decriminalization of some drugs and subsidizing alternative energy, and with Cruz, he and I both agree with subsidizing small farms and jailing Wall Street bankers, though I’ve never heard him mention the latter.

It says I side with Clinton on social issues and with Sanders on economic issues.

Did they simply not include Jindal in the survey? If that is the case it is freaking hilarious! :smiley:

51

Sanders 85%
Hillary 74%
…
Trump 34%

I’m horrified. Double digits for Trump? I’m not certain I even share 34% of his DNA.

52

Bernie Sanders 90%
Hillary Clinton 83%
Martin O’Malley 69%
Rand Paul 39%

** Great Sun Jester**, I got 34% for Trump, too, and it said “on healthcare”. I should have looked at where our answers matched!

53

Still no Pataki who declared before him. Also no Webb who was only about a week behind Jindal. I believe they may all be en route to classification as mid-major candidates. They’re happy to be in the big dance but nobody expects them to survive Feb.

54

Jindal must be less than the margin of error :smiley:

98% Hilary, 87% Sanders…and 69% Trump! Even more surprising, my general area of agreement with Trump is on immigration issues! Huh? I support a full DREAM act, clear path to citizenship for most undocumented folks, less emphasis on securing borders…

At first, I thought maybe my one point of agreement with The Donald was that immigration issues are important. But then I read in another thread that his past statements on immigration policy are varied, only sometimes jibing with his recent odious “rapists” comments.

Still, that 69% figure disturbs me.

56

92% - Bernie Sanders
88% - Hillary Clinton
71% - Martin O’Malley
58% - Chris Christie (environmental issues)
44% - Jeb Bush
41% - The Donald
37% - Rand Paul
27% - Scott Walker
12% - Ted Cruz
11% - Ben Carson

One of the primary reasons my percentage wasn’t higher with Sanders were some of the immigration questions. For example I said a child born to illegal aliens in the US should not be a citizen, but after I finished the quiz, I realized that I wanted to answer that question differently… Then I found out that was one that we differed on. I had no idea I would be so in step with Sanders.

My only republican above 50% was Christie and the only issue I sided with him on was environmental issues.

57

Having a 69 with Donald Trump would disturb anyone
