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.

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

That is a statement. The premises in this statement include:

1. That the results from the test are valid - though my own experiments and those of other demonstrate that this "black box" is heavily biased.

2. That I should accept what I am told by a mechanical device without scrutiny.

3. That the questions, if answered accurately will determine whether or not you are a "true conservative."

4. That you, or the author of this test are the arbiters of what constitutes "true conservatism" or "constitutional conservatism."

5. That Ted Cruz is the only "true conservative" under that definition, much less any generally accepted definition.

6. That the test accurately reflects the views of the candidates.

7. That the test also accurately reflects the issues that weigh most with the voters - e.g. for me someone with the weight, heft and focus on making those parts of government that must work actually work competently is not reflected in the test, but competence is surely a value of "true conservatives and incompetence in managing anything is a strong negative for "true conservatives."

I could go on, but you can also examine your own beliefs and come up with other premises that I have not listed.

Austin......they won't take that test for it would Expose them for who they really are.

As you and I know, as we have taken that test, it is not skewed for anyone. I was leery of taking it to begin with, as I just knew it would come out Trump. But answering truthfully to what I believe it came out TED CRUZ on top.

They are afraid, and don't want to admit it. The test does not collect data, only if you want to add your name, etc., you can skip those area's and go on.

Strange too is, that link was posted for all to use by a Trump supporter. lol
