Are you really comparing a lying Canadian lawyer to Jesus?

Do I read you right, there?

Sheesh.

But it is rigged. Trump’s tax plan does not increase the tax burden on the rich- the top bracket is for $150K and up and the rate is 25% which is a decrease. The AMT goes away and corporate taxes are reduced, so there is no increase on the wealthy. The only exception is a loophole on the way income from hedge fund proceeds are taxed that goes away. If the questionnaire assumes Trump raises tax burden on the rich, they are flat out wrong and will score the test results wrong. I have no doubt they got other things wrong as well.

If Trump gets anywhere around 40%, Rove and the GOPe will explode.

BTW, everyone keep in mind the Cleveland RNC Convention dates of "Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio, July 18-21 2016, The 2016 Republican National Convention." Everyone pre-plan a possible trip to Cleveland because if Trump wins all the primaries except Texas and Utah and Rove, Ginsburg and the GOPe pull shenanigans at the RNC convention, we might have to show up. . .

Something to look at (I don't know what a facebook 'interaction' is, and don't care):

Ted Cruz is a lawyer. Strike one.
Ted Cruz is a politician. Strike two.
Ted Cruz is a slick talking liar. Strike three.

Do we want a lawyer politician liar for a president? Take a seat, Teddy “Haskell” Cruz.

If Rove is sour that means Haley couldn’t save Rubio. Good good good.

My original post

Why wouldn't you just answer according to your true beliefs and weigh the answers as to the importance you attach to them and then accept that if you are staunch constitutionalist Cruz will most closely match your beliefs?

Your answer:

There are about 10 false premises in that statement.

My answer

It was not a statement- it was a question.

Can you count? Ten false premises? I don't think there is any point conversing with you.

Ronald Reagan’s liberal actions before he was president:

In 1950 Reagan helped raise money
for democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas
against Richard Nixon for California senator.

In 1966, Reagan put together a campaign group
to run for California governor. They were
Phil Battaglia, Casper Weinberger and Jack Warner.
They were all from the liberal Rockefeller wing of
the Republican party, not the conservative Goldwater wing.

1970 as governor, Reagan appointed Donald Wright as the
Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court. Wright’s
court later found the death penalty unconstitutional in California.

1972 Reagan supported the re-election of President Richard Nixon instead of giving support to conservative Republican candidate John Ashbrook, who ran an effort to dump Nixon.

As California Governor, Reagan used his own office funds to keep the Office of Economic Opportunity alive in the state and he tried to make California the first state to create its own consumer affairs dept.

1976 in his presidential run against Gerald Ford, Reagan chose the most liberal Republican Senator in the senate, Richard Schweiker as his vice presidential running mate. In 1980, he chose another liberal running mate
George HW Bush.

You might try to reduce it to zero, whatever the actual count might be (maybe 10 is a lie, maybe it is 11).

It was a good test, for those that profess to be a True conservative the test will reveal that, but they must be truthful.

I disagree. Respectfully, of course.

Interesting graphic.
We’ll have to see how it lines up with the final results.

So when I vote the Libertarian view, which is more ore less my take, this is what I get:

Ted Cruz 66%
Jim Webb 55%
Jim Gilmore 54%
John Kasich 53%
Marco Rubio 51%
Jeb Bush 50%
Ben Carson 49%
Bernie Sanders 48%
Hillary Clinton 41%
Donald Trump 34%

Cruz, the true "evangelical" conservative is not a libertarian. Libertarian's do not believe in oversees wars either, or a lot other things that a true conservative would believe.

This result is utter nonsense.

Yes. This was just being discussed on Faux News. He could take home all the marbles.
