I got 67% Johnson, 55% Clinton, 41% Trump.

But really this kind of misses the point.  It's not Trump's policies I violently disagree with, but rather Trump the man.

I don't think you have to violently disagree with his policies, though most of them that he does have...they are pretty dumb.

On Trump's charitable giving: https://twitter.com/Fahrenthold/status/794290164814270465

Quote from: David FahrentholdUPDATE: I've now contacted 433 charities, trying to prove @realDonaldTrump gives "tens of millions" to charity, as he says. What I've found:

Been awhile since I did ISideWith,

57% Clinton, 49% Trump, 36% Stein, 31% Johnson.

I think Trump is so high because I strongly agree with banning Muslims from coming in, not taking refugees, not defending NATO countries that spend below 2% of GDP on defense (well I support them being kicked out of NATO), and basically oppose any amnesty or formalized rights for illegal immigrants, and support requiring immigrants to learn English. But I don't support starting wars, trade or otherwise, or turning the United States into a banana republic.

I agree with waterboarding terror suspects as long as it isn't on U.S. soil.

Hopefully Giuliani is just full of shit and nobody told him.

I'm sure he's been told that many times.

He is not totally full of shit on this.

1980 interview with the Donald. He's acting like a relatively normal human being.

In other news, Latino voter participation numbers are surging: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/latino-early-vot-surges-from-florida-to-nevada

QuoteLatino voters are already showing up to vote this election and could cast ballots in larger numbers than Democrats saw in recent elections.

On a call with reporters Friday, Latino Decisions– a polling group focused on Hispanic voting patters– said that Latino turnout is on track to make history next week.

On the call, Gabriel Sanchez, a principal at Latino Decisions, pointed to early voting trends that show Latino early voting is up 100 percent in Florida, 60 percent in North Carolina and up 25 percent in Colorado and Nevada.

Sanchez said at this point, Latino Decisions is projecting that between 13.1 million and 14.7 million Latinos will vote on or before Tuesday– a major increase from 2012 numbers when the group estimated 11.2 million voted.

I will repeat. This is the best election of our lifetime. :D

IIRC Trump is outperforming the last two GOP candidates with Hispandexes.

One plus to this election, it's bringing out some old Languishites from the shades of lurkdom.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

90 Hil, 76 Stein, 47 Johnson, 31 Trump

Actually I kind of like the results bit at the end. Apparently I'm moderately left wing.

I'm also: Tender (vs Tough on crime), Pro-Big Government (:hmm:), Progressive, a pacifist, a collectivist, a Keynesian, and a multiculturalist.

And my views most match those of people in Los Angeles, SF, Chicago, Philly, New York and Boston! :o :D

Not bothering to do the test, but I'd be fine with that characterisation of my politics.  :cool:
