    Like all of these pick your candidate sites, it picked a candidate I could never vote for who disagrees with me 100% on my most important issues, but agrees with me a lot on nearly all of my more minor issues.

    Bernie Sanders.

    Well myself, I always make sure no one it on my right because that's my drawing hand. However, I would love to work with you, I just can't figure out WTF you are talking about.

    Speaking of Rand Paul, I think he is closer to my views more often than anyone else because of the importance he places on following the Constitution. However and unfortunately, I don't think he has a chance at becoming President due to lack of charisma. Then I like Trump for his never apologizes philosophy and telling it like it is. The Republican will never give him the floor.

    Hillary is in deep shit and not likely to get the nomination from the Dems. So who the heck is going to be? Sander (D), Bush (R), Trump (I)?
    Trump wins.

    Oh! I forgot, crazy uncle Joe! Would anyone vote for Joe Bidden?

    Exactly where I got hung up. The word "liberal" has largely been bastardized from its classical meaning.

    The questions in the survey weren't worded well. I am for abortion, but not for govt. paid for abortions or mandates upon insurance companies to cover them. But Perry isn't for govt. paid for abortions so we "agree" though he says we should pay for abstinence training which I don't agree with.

    That's one example of how it was a poor reading of who I agree with.

    That's why I said it was worthless.

    Well, it's clearly not worthless.

    Yes it is.

    Perry is rabidly pro life. I am not. We do not agree, but the survey site says we do. It suggests him as my second "best" candidate, yet I wouldn't vote for him.

    It gave me Paul as first choice because we agree on some things, but he's too statist for my liking. It rated the guy I like the most of the group really low, though I've heard him speak over decades and know I agree with him more than Paul or Perry.

    Also, a lot of the positions are blank, as in Perry has no position on the question, yet it treats it as we agree.

    Worthless.

    What isn't worthless is to just ask who people want to vote for, or not.

    Ya know?

    According to that site I agree with Sanders and Clinton on about 80% of the issues, and Trump and Bush on about 60%.

    I agree, but watching these people try to do that is like watching 4 year olds fighting over a candybar. Completely illogical and throwing temper tantrums

    Is that Kasich? Because, I really don't see how he's compatible with your political point of view. I mean, he came in 4th on my list. That ought to tell you something.
