[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

It's an interesting quiz. I took it a while back, got like 97% Jill stein, 91% Sanders, etc..

[mikey]

90+% seems pretty impressive

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Just took it again.
My results:
Jill Stein 98%
Bernie Sanders 97%
Hillary Clinton 75%
Gary Johnson 63%
Donald Trump 4%

[Maelstrom]

4% Donald trump wow.
I just wasted too much time, so I'll post my results if anyone cares:
Garry Johnson 83%
Jill Stein 83%
Bernie Sanders 79%
Hillary Clinton 74%
Donald Trump 59%

I think I broke the ideology graph because it stuck me nearly in the middle.

[mikey]

85% gary
77% donald
51% bernie
43% jill

If I could take the best things from Gary Johnson, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders, I might have a candidate I'd actually be willing to vote for.

Looking forward to comedy from the clown convention this week.  Let the completely in-context but astoundingly ludicrous clips commence!

Spoiler

But this year, we've got Natalie Gulbis, better known for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue than for being the 484th-ranked female golfer in the world. Now, before you decry sexism, Italian American hunk Antonio Sabàto Jr. will also be speaking, and let us not forget that before he was a daytime television star and reality television contestant, he was an underwear model for Calvin Klein. So equal scores there. Then we've got controversial PayPal co-founder and Gawker lawsuit backer Peter Thiel. We've got Kimberlin Brown, who was a soap opera actress until she retired in 2003 and started an avocado farm. I don't totally get what these people mean to the Republican Party, but we're about to find out.

We've got no fewer than six members of the Trump family speaking, presumably to how awesome their dad/husband/self will be as president: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, Melania Trump and Donald Trump. Oh, and don't forget Lynne Patton, vice president of the Eric Trump Foundation.

The sad thing is, this would be about the norm for politics of today.

The sad thing is, this would be about the norm for politics of today.

What about this?

[TheMarioPianist]

Little late on that little quiz thing, but my results were:

92% Darrell Castle
91% Donald Trump
74% Gary Johnson
0% Jill Stein

Is it a bad thing if I hadn't even heard of that Castle guy until this test? Anyway, most people here that have talked to me at all about politics know my support goes to Donald Trump, and the test definitely showed it (Castle's policies are very similar, and 1% is not much of a difference at all). So yeah, this was pretty accurate for me.

visual representation of trump and most of the rest of the GOP


The conspiracy theory that Trump is an agent of the Democratic party meant to bring about the total implosion of the Republican party just seems more and more plausible by the day
