Thoughts on this chart?
Looks like a lotta dripage after the pee
Anyone that calls backstabbing weasel and liar Marco Rubio the “First Real Contender” deserves nothing but divisive laughter to their face.
I must say, I would have been skeptical of what Silver describes as “conservative positions” even if he hadn’t placed Ron and Rand Paul as among the three most conservative GOP presidential candidates ever.
And the “fundraising” data point is just laughable. Silver is trying to determine how conservative a candidate is from his fundraising? So if he holds a fundraiser at French restaurant that means that he’s not conservative, but if it’s at a rib joint then he is? Or is he assuming how conservative the candidate’s donors are from their employer or profession? Give me a break!
