Feels like a waste of my time. I know who I support and who I don't,  but took the survey and it showed no results.

I got Bernie Sander 95%. I was supporting Hilary at first but recently I have been leaning towards Bernie. It's like I am between a rock and a hard place. I want a woman president but maybe...you know.

Bernie Sanders 1st, Hillary Clinton 2nd, any other Democratic candidate 3rd. Any Repube or 3rd party candidate doesn't even register on my radar screen. I don't need a quiz to show me this.

Bernie Sanders 91%
Hillary Clinton 88%
Joe Biden 75%
Martin O'Malley 64%
John Kasich 39%
Rand Paul 36%
Chris Christie 27%
Donald Trump 25%
Jeb Bush 24%
Mike Huckabee 23%
Carly Fiorina 16%
Scott Walker 13%
Ben Carson 12%
Bobby Jindal 11%
Lindsey Graham 8%
Marc Rubio 8%
Ted Cruz 6%
Rick Santorum 1%

I think the key to this quiz was in the alternate answers, not just the "yes" or "no" responses. Issues aren't black and white like everyone pretends they are: you don't have to be either for or against abortion or guns or immigration, but can have a thought out, reasonable middle ground.

Having seen the results from those who I would not expect to be backing Bernie, it's probably rigged. Rigged or not, I've already decided I prefer Bernie over Hillary, so that's where I'll leave it.

I'm depressed Hillary was as high as she was, but on the other hand socially she isn't too bad... it's just corporate pandering and telling the banks that "they are the victims" that makes me hate her.

I have many reasons to hate Hillary related to our domestic issues. That woman visited Fetuallah Gulen and made politics with him. Do you know who that man is?

He's a rdical islamist. He owns most of the underground islamic schools around the world in the West and many other ones openly. He was one of the horses US international policy played to bring the islamic party in power in Turkiye and later tried to use him against Erdogan. But it didn't work.

Any of them would upset the GOP.  Well, too bad.  After that republican debate, it's obvious that they have no one to blame but themselves.

I don't even need to take the test to know I stand with Bernie.  But really, *any* of the Dems are preferable to *any* of the Repubs.  I will cheerfully vote *for* Hillary in the general election if it comes to it, not just *against* whatever lunatic the GOP puts up.

I tried this in reverse.  I answered all questions opposite of what I thought.  And I asked for the '4 more questions' on immigration.  These are the monkeys I came up with:
Santorum 96%; Cruz 95%; Walker 93%; Bush 91%; Trump  and Carson 89%.  There is a great slate of sleaze bags!

I asked for all the extra questions they offered. And a few of them, I wrote my own response in. Particularly the one about requiring people on welfare to work.

I saw that I missed a couple of 'more' questions, so I took the survey again--results were about the same as the first time I took it.

Thing about Biden he would absolutely rip apart anyone in the Republican clown car in a debate. In a debate he does not fool around, he would destroy anyone of them. He has this amazing talent when it comes to debating people.

What the hell is with that "survey?" Am I expected to believe that all those questions about my internet and TV service were to make sure I'm human?

Okay. Let's see what it gave me...

Rubio 87%, Jindal 86%, Paul 85%, Carson 84%, Cruz 83% (don't trust him), Walker 80%, Trump 79% (hahaha NO!!!), Bush 75%, Sanders 52%, Clinton 36%.

It's mostly accurate. I do tend to agree with Republicans on most things, but also have some opinions that are definitely not Conservative. Wait. They don't even have any third party candidates listed.

I like Biden and Hillary about evenly, even though Biden looks kind of uncertain he is an electable white boy. Everybody wants Sanders and if he gets the nomination he gets my vote. But if he doesn't I'll be voting Democrat anyway.

Yeah, Biden is also pretty famous for being blunt and just saying what he wants. The difference between him and Trump is that he comes across genuine and not saying whacky shit just to get a rise out of people. Also, there is a lot of truth to the things he says, as well as basic decency and respect. For example, when he told Vladimir Putin in one simple sentence to "get out of Ukraine," Trump might have said "Look you commie shit, get out of my country."

To all those Trump supporters that believes Donald Trump just says what everyone is thinking, I disagree, because I can't really recall a time when Trump said what I was thinking, but Joe Biden has.

There's no way Trump will win the election. Sure, there are a lot of stupid people out there, but that would be a very special kind of stupid. Just imagine Trump's face on the same wall as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Scott Adams is betting on the stupidity of the American people.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/14/dilbert-creator-on-how-trump-is-like-the-founding-fathers-jesus.


Scott Adams, the mind behind comic strip Dilbert, says Donald Trump is going to win the White House in a mega-landslide.

Donald Trump is going to be president, and he will cruise to victory in the biggest, hugest landslide the American electorate has ever handed any candidate.

That’s what cartoonist and Dilbert creator Scott Adams is predictingâ€"with a whopping 98 percent certainty.

Over the past few weeks, Adams has been devoting a chunk of his blogspace to his unified theory on why Trump can not only succeed at locking up the Republican nomination, but win the White House in a mega-landslide. He acknowledges his argument puts him in a diametrically opposing position to Nate Silver and other data-driven election-cycle prognosticators.

“I believe I am alone in that prediction, at least among the talking-head/pundit/writer set,” he wrote late last month. “I realize that a healthy chunk of voters think he can go all the way. But the smart professionals almost universally expect him to flame out.”

Adams, who has classified Trump as a “Clown Genius” and an “unstoppable” master of persuasion, couches much of his analysis in the idea that Trump is an expert at “linguistic kill shots” (think: “low-energy” Jeb Bush) and that his months of political fortune have defied virtually every prediction the American pundit class has hurled his way.

“This has nothing to do with any logic,” Adams told The Daily Beast. “But history has turned on a few peopleâ€"like the Founding Fathers and Jesus Christ come to mindâ€"who used the same tricks: They describe to people a better vision of themselves. And Trump fits into that [model] in the most direct way you could possibly do. He’s saying, ‘You’re an American, I’m going to make you feel great.’” ...

Along with Adams, I do not ever under estimate how amazingly stupid the American public really is.  I call that the Stupid Fucking American effect.  SFA's constantly amaze me.  I think I can not be amazed again by the effect---then just a little while later, I am amazed!  Would Trump winning be expected?  No.  But never, ever, sell the SFA's short.  They simply can become more and more stupid.
