Carson 16%
Fiorina 5%

My percentages with repubs were based on Education -- because I oppose Common Core, I assume.

I am not surprised. I am an economic progressive, strong civil libertarian, and would vote third party before I would vote another GOP or Third Way.

I was only 82% with Bernie.

HRC 70%

Jebbie 57%

Christie 52%

...gag.

However...I did position to the left of Center...that is probably pretty correct.

I want to know, who put this quiz up and how the
candidates answered. That would be far more
informative than our own scores, imo.

Don't know how much that skewed the algorithm used to calculate this.
96% Bernie
76% Hillery
25% Christie (where did that come from?)
Huckster
Pauly
Carson (Really)
Wanker 7% (about right, I think about 7% of him is a good person)
Crutz 5% (best not imagine why)
Carly 1%

52% with DU, tied with 52% Hanover(?), 35% with Wisconsin.

I believe the site is in error on Christie and Jeb's environmental record. They are no better than the other repubs. I did get 1% for Ted Cruz!
