    I dunno if this has already been posted, but http://www.isidewith.com/ is s pretty cool site that asks you a bunch of questions and compares your answers to the answers the U.S presidential candidates have been giving in their campaign so far.

    I did the quiz and I agree with Bernie Sanders 98% of the time apparently and only 16% of the time with Donald Trump

    Poor old Ted Cruz only gets 8% agreement with me

    Here are my results

    I got 92% with Sanders and 77% with Clinton. I scored 57% with Rand Paul and 21% or less with the other republicans.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    >80% with Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum & Scott Walker.
    Never heard about them before, thought it's just Clinton vs Trump :)

    But let's be honest, majority doesn't care about candidate views. It's much more about appearance and promises rather than well though out decision.

    rand paul 84, bernie sanders 75

    not all that surprised. i like a lot of what i hear from sanders, I just don't trust that anything he proposes as a solution would actually make things better. i'd imagine it's how a lot of the young progressive left felt about ron paul.

    Not that I have a vote but if so : Cruz Santorum and Rubio in top 3 with a chap called O'Malley at the bottom. Personally I though I would be more in line with Rand Paul. Oddly, agreeing with Sanders on many Enviromental issues

    Rand Paul 58%

    Donald Trump 36% (WTF!!!!!!!!!!)

    97% with Sanders, not a surprise. 93% with Clinton, that's higher than I thought it would be. O'Malley is next at 78%.

    Highest GOP candidate is Rand Paul at 20%, thought that would have been higher. 2% with Cruz, I'm happy with that.

    I got 95% with Rick Santorum. The website is utterly useless.

    This is a great website. If only all of America were forced to us it. I bet a massive amount do not realise that the people/party they support don't necessarily align with their personal beliefs.

    I got 95% with Bernie - I think he's brilliant. He's a rare commodity among the bought and sold politicians of today. His grassroots movement is gaining massive strength - especially with younger generations. He's been getting a lot of "He's great, but he can't win" - but that is certainly changing..


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,011 ✭✭✭Tugboats


    Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum 93%


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭jobbridge4life


    85% - Bernie Saunders
    81% - Hillary Clinton
    63% - Chris Christie

    and only 30% with Trump... which is way too much for comfort.

    I'd massively question this thing's credibility given everyone is getting Bernie Sanders. Lots of these sorts of quizzes are full of loaded questions.

    Seems to be all things to all people.

    Which in the real world, is usually a bad thing.

    you're surprised that the majority of people on an irish website are matching highly with a socialist?

    There are links that allow you to directly compare which answers you agree and disagree on

    Some of the questions are a bit vague so you might agree with the question but have very different reasons for doing so, and would have a very different idea about what the solution to that problem would be

    Gay marriage may be we toed but it is still divisive.

    From what I've read his problem with Illegal immigration is the exploitation of the immigrants, working for below minimum wage etc. He wants them to be made legal so they have workers rights. Far from xenophobic nationalism which sounds like all the republican candidates.

    Clicked on the show all candidates button but it's only showing Democratic and republicans.

    Here's some more.
