Once Trump has the republican nomination he will completely change. It is all about being smart, being flexible, being a winner and getting the best deal possible for yourself. this is pretty much what I'm assuming. People forget about the '08 and '12 run of Mitt Romney, he pretty much 180'd on a fuck ton of policies after the primaries. Trump's edgy rightwing stuff will become a lot more dull post-primary, and he'll try and be a lot more populist with his "extreme" stances in the General election. this should be obvious to anyone who know anything about trump

huh I got Hillary didn't expect that, but it was close
I think I would have literally needed to invert every answer to get Trump lol

Don't believe the reddit hate train. Hillary is a very legitimate democratic candidate. As much as people want to burn her on the stake for her "expensive speeches", she has all the experience and skill to be strong president with all the right policies the people on the left want.

yeah rubio and carson are in the 20's for me as well. The only Republicans that made it into the 40's are Kasich (which I get) and Cruz oO
lol what's that answer:Should the government be allowed to seize private property, with reasonable compensation, for public or civic use?
Ted Cruz: No, unless it is for an oil pipeline project

Not sure how long ago they added Stein (glad they did though).
Also not sure how they decide which quotes/votes to use as a candidates position. Must be especially hard to pin Trump down on anything.

I agree for once. Probably for very different reasons though.

Sixty-one percent of Americans agree that "continued immigration into the country jeopardizes the United States," according to a new poll commissioned by management consulting firm A.T. Kearney in partnership with market researcher NPD Group that revealed pessimism across a wide range of issues.
The degree of concern is remarkable considering that the question was about all immigration, including the legal kind. Even Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he supports legal immigration into the U.S.
A.T. Kearney and NPD Group gave Bloomberg Businessweek an exclusive first look at the results of the survey, which covers 2,590 respondents and is part of an America@250 study that's intended to gauge the nation's direction with 10 years to go before its 250th birthday. The study, which will be posted online later this month, was conducted last October and November. Bloomberg
Speaking of polls ...

A major issue is immigration? And Rubio's amnesty position isn't winning him southern states? What a surprise!

What I can take from that article is that I am 100% against authors who cite polls and data, but refuse to link to it.

I took a poll among my neurons. Turns out I'm only 93.6% against. A further 4.1% are undecided.
In Daily Mirror words, that means 2 billion neurons (give or take) are in favor of citing polls without reference!!!!

well they prob would sell you a detailed copy for 700

I like how they said it was a "sneak peek" like a pool is something special and not a thing we read about ever day.

Well, not as many people are as informed as us, right or left.

I would say there's a pretty good chance the questions preceding that one either involved terrorism or illegal immigration.

A bold claim sir. Bold. I don’t know what part of sample question could lead to you believe this is a push poll.

I love how the CNN says:
What is the scariest?
[...]
Nuclear weapons in the wrong hands
Read: Nuclear weapons in non-US hands.
If you are US, this is a right-wing answer as it is about Iran 99%. If you aren't, it is left wing.
Let's not forget we (the US) let Pakstan, N Korea, India, UK and Israel get nukes for free.

Many of those were mistakes.
