Ok, I have a little game all the Trump supporters can play while we’re waiting. Go to the biased FoxNews site below and try to answer the 20 questions in a way that will put Donald J. Trump above #6 or #7 of your top results. For some reason it keeps giving me Rubio. LOL!

LOL indeed. That was fun. Thanks for the link.

I was surprised at the result (but not enough to go back and see if I made a careless error on one or two responses). I came out with essentially a three way tie for first: Jeb Bush, 86%; Ted Cruz, 85%; and Jim Gilmore, 85%. Marco Rubio was not far back at 80%. Kasich and Carson were respectable also-rans at 76% and 75%.

Trump was marginally better than the best of the Democrats, with 65% to Jim Webb's 54%. Clinton and Sanders were 35% and 24%.

I did not play with the intensity scale to overweight some preferences. That would probably make a substantial difference. I also did this quickly and may have carelessly misread something. I may go back and do it more carefully just for fun, but I would urge others on the first time through to just let go and go with the flow. As you note, the results are a little surprising.

To my surprise, the intensity adjustment did not make much difference. I still have a virtual three way tie for first, with Rubio trailing closely. I suppose Trump fans need to find a way to reduce this to a single, or at most two issue, score.

Fox News still at it, getting frozen shoulder from patting themselves on the back for being so clever. Snakes.

Yeah, if you go back, play with the intensity scale. I tried leaving most items neutral, then for the solid Trump answers, I weighed the heavily.

It’s rigged for RINOs.
