36. No party represents me 100% either.

I imagine that is true for most folks. I am a Truman Dem if you look at that platform (which is similar to the Eisenhower Repub platform in some respects), and neither party perfectly represents that set of values these days.

But I can say that the modern Dems are a helluva lot closer than the GOPee. Indeed, I have been voting straight ticket Dem since the 70's.
