(115,733 posts)5% Ted Cruz. I'm ashamed of myself for even that much.
I took this quiz before. There aren't enough economic questions on it.

99% Trump.....................kidding, although seem his "answers", I believe they are old answers. Trump has in the past been a big supporter of liberal and Democrat issues, but since the birther fiasco, I think he has gone over the edge.....like Ben Carson....
oh and 98% Hillary

(6,568 posts)Although, when I clicked on details for each candidate, I found that some of the issues, some candidates haven't made an opinion on (at least not publicly), and it counted those as differences of opinion. Others, the question was one thing, but the candidate's answer was not the same thing, yet it would give an agree.
It also said I agreed with Ted Cruz on an issue (Do you support expanded offshore drilling, my answer was "Incentivize the private sector on alternative fuel", Ted Cruz's was "Yes". It said we agree.
Bottom line: if you use an internet quiz to decide who to vote for, you're not thinking critically.

(22,666 posts)...to me, it was just interesting to see what it said, kind of like a horoscope. I wouldn't make any decisions based on it.

(6,568 posts)I'm currently supporting Hillary, but I also really like Bernie a lot, too. And the more I look at O'Malley, the more I like as well.
All of the things I agreed with Bernie on were also in agreement with Hillary, however, a few of those Hillary hasn't weighed in on (or at least it wasn't brought into the quiz). Term limits for Congress and Immigrants speaking English (both of which I disagreed with) are two that come to immediate mind.

(5,264 posts)83% Clinton, and 78% O'Malley.
That's all good, but it did say a 5% compatibility with Cruz. Gak!
