The questions are chosen to generate the results desired by the makers of the quiz.

I got 100% Bernie and 90% Hillary - which is nonsense, because I do NOT agree with 90% of Hillary's platform, actions or beliefs.

Hillary-84%

O'Mally-70%

Rand Paul leads the crap stains at 39% followed by Donald Duck, uh Trump at 19%.

I think Donald Duck, NOT Trump, is better equipped to sit in the oval office than the entire GOP field of fools, combined.

It wasn't "other" but OTHERS. It shifted the importance of some answers. My drones went from a no to a yes with "only for intel".

It's his fault for not making the info easier to find, I guess, but I also doubt that the makers of the quiz looked very hard. It wouldn't have taken much to find that he favors reducing student loan rates and supports national parks.

plans of any candidate. They are all there on his website.

If that website is deficient on positions for a candidate it is the fault of that website. Why is so much emphasis put on the website of two guys who decided to cover politics, anyway? The site and their quiz are obviously flawed. They do seem to like Sanders. Who are they promoting on the GOP side?

What I find interesting about these polls is the importance of each issue option, really puts a different perspective on some issues. When I really think about it, some of the issues are not as important to me as I would automatically assume. Not every issue is worth fighting about.

I also find it incredibly frustrating how far apart the Republicans and Democrats are on most issues. How two people from the same country can be so opposed to each other on every issue is disheartening. Herman Cain and I agree on virtually nothing.

And my results for Bernie were predictable, but 82% agreement with Hilary was a surprise. On the issues, anything over 70% agreement is more than an acceptable candidate to vote for IMO. Hilary and Bernie agree on 90% of the issues, either would make a great President.
