I Side With (https://www.isidewith.com/elections/2016-presidential-quiz) is an innocuous little test to see which candidate you side with on particular issues. Criminal issues, social issues, environmental issues so on so forth.


My results: "I side with Rand Paul on most 2016 Presidential Election issues" which figures, Rand is sort of libertarian.


Take test, only minutes, and report who you side with and whether it fits or not.

The results surprised me. Top three, Trump, Carson and Rubio

Theres no no way I can support Trump, no matter what an Internet test says.

Good quiz - my results

Bernie - 99%
Hilly - 94%
O'Malley - 79%
Kasich - 53%

Least at 8%? Dr Ben LoL - Calgary Ted was only 3 points higher though.

The Kasich number surprised me. I'd be reasonably comfortable with Kasich as POTUS.

I took that quiz a little while back and got 96% Bernie Sanders.

And that didn't even count that I agree with Sanders on single payer. In order to get credit for agreeing with Sanders on single payer, I would have had to say that yes, I support the ACA but think single payer would be better. (I don't support the ACA.)

So I am all in for Bernie.

So I am all in for Bernie.

The only reason it doesn't show me all in for Bernie is because I take a somewhat "conservative" position on immigration (I hate labeling immigration and social issues as conservative/liberal) and had to select "pro-life" for the abortion question. There may have been a couple other minor issues in there, I think I may be more "isolationist" than Bernie as well.

However, in response to your comment, I'm well on record suggesting that my only interest in Trump is his anti-establishment popularity and the only reason I... might vote for him but for now I expect to vote third party again - or not vote.

That's one thing I like about Tennessee (and Virginia). Here in Tennessee, I don't think we can even register for a party. When I registered to vote, there was nothing there about party. On primary days I can just walk in and ask for the ballot of whichever party I want to vote for. In 2012 I voted in the GOP primary and in 2014 I voted in the Democratic primary.

Y'know, I keep meaning to ask where that stereotype came from. My buddy Frank at work explained it as basically during the segregation days blacks weren't allowed in the swimming pools, hence never getting to learn how to swim. It sounded reasonable.

Access to swimming facilities is the first reason, most blacks are in urban areas, so if they can't swim at the city pool, then where? The ocean is a possibility, but then getting there and so forth...

Last April, Los Angeles Dodgers vice president Al Campanis was asked if racial prejudice still existed in baseball. Said Campanis: "No, I don't believe it's prejudice. I truly believe that they (blacks) may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager, or perhaps a general manager.
"So it just might be - why are black men, or black people, not good swimmers?" he asked. "They just don't have the buoyancy." Campanis, with the Dodgers organization for 40 years, was fired the next day

My results: "I side with Rand Paul on most 2016 Presidential Election issues" which figures, Rand is sort of libertarian.

Yes. I didn't even mention that my 96% for Sanders is followed by a 93% for Clinton, because the Clinton number is irrelevant. Clinton is a chameleon.

When I took the quiz last summer, I had 89% Clinton with 83% Sanders. But if the GOP nominated Bush with his support for immigration reform, there was still a chance I would vote for him, because at that point Democrats hadn't given me any reason to trust them with more governmental control.

The more I listened to Sanders, well ... finally I figured out that I'm a liberal who doesn't trust government.

In Sanders, I found a liberal candidate I can trust. So I am 100% Sanders, and it doesn't matter what Hillary's numbers are. I'm not pulling the lever for her.
