This thing made no sense for me. On party:

Green 91%
Democrat 88%
Socialist 87%
Libertarian 59%
Republican 23%

BUT, on presidential candidates:
Jeb Bush 77%
Bernie Sanders 77%
Hillary Clinton 74%
Martin O'Malley 62%
Rand Paul 57%

I tend to be mostly (but not completely) socially liberal, moderate on foreign affairs, conservative on some economic issues, and liberal on some other economic issues, so I can see why it would be confused.
 
my results:

Green Party 97%
Democrats 96%
Socialist 88%
Libertarians 43%
Republicans 2%

Bernie Sanders 96%
Hillary Clinton 78%
Martin O'Malley 57%
Rand Paul 25%
Ben Carson 7%
Ted Cruz 4%
Scott Walker 3%
Carly Fiorina 2%
You 100% :lol:

i'd hope everyone got 100% for the "you" listing. probably the only reason i didn't get 100% for the green party (and sanders) is because towards the end, i got tired of ranking importance for the questions and just left them at the default. i assume that because when i compare answers between sanders and me as well as the green party and me, the only differences are when an elaboration is listed, like "yes, because..." whereas i obviously just put yes.

I think it failed to accurately calculate my "why" on most questions. But I mean, it's not terribly far off of what I feel.

So Donald Trump just announced his run. When are we going to find out that the real Donald Trump died and this one is just a long term Andy Kaufman bit?

Also, this is the actual response from the DNC:

Today, Donald Trump became the second major Republican candidate to announce for president in two days.
He adds some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field, and we look forward hearing more about his ideas for the nation.
 
Haha, I love their response.

Seriously, how big is the GOP nominee pool now? And who among them are serious contenders? Any of them?! This is getting ridiculous.

I totally disagree with Bernie Sanders on most issues, but I like him. I like him because he is honest and straight forward in what he believes. He doesn't dodge or speak some idiotic political speak that means nothing. This is also why I like Donald Trump. I've just listened to his speech and it was a breath of fresh air. Like Sanders he tells you what he thinks and what he will do. Trump has the can do attitude our country needs. I believe his motives are honest for running. He really wants to help make America great again.

I never voted for a Bush, McCain or Romney.

Trump has my vote.

Donald Trump is a racist, xenophobic, self-centered aging senile old man who is not nor has he ever been a serious candidate for presidency. He does this shit for the looks.

You believe his motives are honest?! This is all about his brand name.

Did you think his birther beliefs were honest? Did you agree?

I just want someone to steal his stupid fucking hair piece during a campaign appearance. If anyone from here is willing to do it, I will pay you a large sum.

You need to listen to me very carefully: there is nothing honest about Donald Trump. If you believe Donald Trump is telling you the truth, you are a fool.

Hang on, there is actually at least one person out there (aside from the Donald himself) who would vote for Trump? :ohmy:

Well I'll admit it is fun to have a brash candidate who doesn't craft his words based upon beltway consultants, focus groups, and internal polling.

The press conference was actually entertaining TV, not stilted staging.
I suspect he'll get a bump up in the polling and qualify for the debates. Which will be hilarious.

If he can get Iron Horse's vote, he'll get alot more too from people who just want some red-meat populism. He knows the public has a general disdain for politics as usual. He senses blood in the water and he's going for it.
 
The larger pool of candidates among the GOP could raise interest in the 2016 campaign and voter turnout for whoever the Republican candidate will eventually be. On the Democratic side, everyone know's it is Hillary and has known for a while now. Interest there will likely not increase as much, at least until after both primary seasons are over sometime at the lastest by the summer of 2016.

Trump is unlikely to ever get my vote, but I don't think people should just automatically laugh and make fun of those who express interest in voting for candidate A, B, C etc. This is a democracy and the intelligent, mature, fair and unbiased thing to do is discuss the issues and why or why not one candidate would get your vote or not.

But can we laugh that there's only one person on this planet that thinks Donald is honest? Not even Donald thinks that.

There's nothing wrong with shrugging off an obviously illegitimate candidate. I refuse to be, as you're suggesting, politically correct about... politics. That's ridiculous.
