I got almost exactly the same results even with changing the slider of some of the importance factors.

Maybe thats a better post to avoid internet censorship, who knows. Whats a "non post" other than something someone simply just doesn't not like?

I deleted your post #1023 because all it contained was a full stop. During that time you edited in your results...therefore a re-instated the post.

In future if you have a problem with moderation please take it to PM as per our Site Rules. Thanks.

Edit: I see you have edited said post again. Please stop as I'm getting a little tired of your games.

I did that quiz thingy and got:

Bernie Sanders- 97%

Hillary Clinton- 83%

Martin O'Malley (who is he?) - 75%

Chris Christie- 52%

Rand Paul 30%

Jeb Bush 28%

Trump 17%

Ben Carson 17%

Walker 17%

Cruz 8%


I did the Canadian one too, and it was shorter and issues totally different. Liberal and NDP came in with a tie at 95%, Green 93%, Communist (had no idea we had this party...lol 89%, Libertarian 55%, Conservative 50%.

(Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Green, and Bloc Quebecois are the only parties with seats generally.)

Even the Christian colleges seem to be pretty much just ramming home the Republican talking points under the guise of it being "Christian values".

Dan Roberts who wrote the article seems to be confused as to why women might not automatically vote for another woman, as if they wouldn't look at a candidates platform.

British schools is what every American I have spoken to thinks is the priority topic in the Presidential race. They were disappointed that the question was not asked by Megan. It is what led to Donald's tweets about her.

I read the article top to bottom; it is a very well written, and balanced article. Long and interesting. Worth the read.

Not sure it is that relevant to 2016 elections in the US, though.

Biden is so "accident prone" he would be a gift to the Republicans if nominated.

This really shows you the relative weakness of the Democrats. absent Hillary and were email woes, they really don't have electable candidates.

It's strange that what is considered a "gaffe" if Biden says it would be eloquent rhetoric if a Republican said it.

Hillary has never been a great candidate, having ridden Bill's coat tails for so long she just happens to be the assumed choice.
