Quote:TPP.

 

I don't know that TPP is a good topic for debate since it hasn't even been voted on yet.

 

I'm looking more towards a general policy such as education, economy, foreign policy, etc.

Quote:Sure start a diff thread on education. I'll participate in their. Can't wait to get yelled at by others.  :thumbsup:

 

O.K. we can do that.

I think TPP is a good topic for debate.  Especially since it's one issue that people might be more willing to change their minds on, and is also less party specific.

Quote:I'm more interested in centrist coming up with Santorum. Paul and rubio make sense though.

 

 In addition to what you mentioned,  I think that the scores that at least a couple of people that the site classifies as Libertarian were around 95 % for Rick Santorum.    The 96% that Rick Santorum received from me makes sense based on my political views ( which include being a Social Conservative ).   But one thing that Rick Santorum isn't is Libertarian.

Eric pointed out that it might be skewing things based on picking answers a certain way. Especial towards Rubio/Clinton

  That's probably the case.  

 

 

   Overall though,   while the survey/ questionnaire has flaws,   it's something that can be helpful in learning more about the candidates and understanding better the views of others as we read each others posts.

 

 

   One thing in particular that I find interesting is the large drop-off in the numbers from the survey for many people on the right ( including me ),  after Marco Rubio,  Rick Santorum,  and Ted Cruz.    I was surprised how low Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker scored ( relatively speaking ) when I took the survey.

I agree somewhat, but we really don't know enough details about it, so to debate it's merits or lack thereof isn't realistic.

I think that FBT's original comment was dead on.  Giving both of us "points" regarding Hillary or Bernie Sanders is kind of flawed since I don't agree with either one of them at all.  The algorithm used to score a person's answers is flawed.

   I was even surprised that the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders got as high as 4 % when I took the survey.   While they would get 4 % compared to another ultra Liberal Martin O'Malley getting 0 % is something that at least on the surface makes no sense.    Having said that,   on Thursday I plan on watch the Democrat Candidates video you provided (  thanks )  the other day.

I don't want to sway you or bias you (not that I could anyway) but force yourself to watch every speech and note the reaction of those in attendance.  Bernie is clearly the "other side's" candidate as far as the people are concerned.  The "money candidate" is going to be Hillary.  I see many democrats laugh at the large field of candidates on the left, but when Hillary goes into "attack mode" on Bernie, it's not going to be pretty for them.

I got a high percentage point for Trump. TRUMP!!!! Maybe because of my my conservative stances on immigration? Rubio was lower than him though....

 

I wasn't surprised to Paul up there

Yeah, Trump was high for me as well.  That was... weird to say the least.

I think the algorithms are heavily weighting certain questions.

It's probably also Trump being against TPP, being pro-union (apparently?) and he would decriminalize (or so he says) marijuana.  He's also for Medacaid and Obamacare as well as preservation of National Parks.

It's all pretty much flawed.  If I find time, maybe I'll analyze how the code is written.

I answered all the questions and got what I got. Just sayin

I'm glad you mentioned the audience reaction because more often than not,  when I go to political videos I listen to them while doing something else such as exercise.   In this case,  I'm now going to actually watch the video.

 

 

There's no question that the Democrat Party establishment and their multitude of media allies are advocating for Hilliary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Race.    From a Conservative Republican standpoint,   I'm hoping that Bernie Sanders responds to Hillary Clinton when she goes on the attack to the extent that he damages her candidacy if she emerges as the Democrat Nominee.  Bernie Sanders seems more open / genuine about his positions than most candidates and he might take the approach that he has nothing to lose by going on the counterattack against Hillary.    Regarding Hillary,  I view her as a far left candidate.  But  unlike Sanders,   I think she has proven repeatedly that she's willing to pretend to take other positions in order to get elected.

Lol! That's pure gold

Did you adjust the "how important is this question to you", usually those would act as multipliers.  I changed mines for each question.

I'm not sure what you mean by counter attack but Sanders is going to run in his issues. He's going to have one of, if not the most, cleanest campaigns across the isles.
