I think my answer to Obamacare pushed Sanders to 3rd.

    I looked at the very first question, and the options struck me as fucked up so I quit.

    (plus, I think I'm capable of choosing who, if anyone, and without a botsite, I choose to vote for)

    Depending on a few tweeks to some answers, I get either Kasich or Christie.

    Got O'Malley here. Somehow I don't think he will make it to the second round in most caucus locations tonight.

    I felt that way about a couple of the questions two. Like "What are you more afraid of". Why wasn't "Hedo" an option?

    :lol:

    Just kidding you know!

    Not quite getting that but appreciate the kidding ;)

    Just found it strange as the questions on the second run (and third) were different.

    That was semi-entertaining. I got Hillary.
    I think this is the third presidential election cycle where I can't get excited about anybody. :who_me:

    Yeah, I tried to change an answer at the last second but couldn't, refreshed the link and got a different order of questions.

    Will be interesting to see who, if anyone gets Trump.

    Also notice Green Party candidate Jill Stein is not on the choices pictured.

    Hillary was my #2 and Chris Christie #3.

    It's unlikely either O'Malley, Clinton or Christie will earn my vote in March or November.

    1. O'Malley
    2. Paul
    3. Sanders

    O'Malley is interesting, but I doubt he'll still be around by the time the primaries happen in WA. So I may vote Paul if he's still around, or vote Gary Johnson as a protest vote as I did in 2012.

    I got Hillary on the first run, then Bernie. Then I played "putting the dumbest option I can think of" and got Santorum and Trump.

    I hope everybody who can vote will go and do so. You have a responsibility, people. Don't vote for the clowns.

    I'll be honest...if I had to caucus rather than vote? Not sure I would be showing up tonight.

    Actually dumbest option does not really fit. I want to correct that to "option that was farthest away from my personal opinion". :relaxed:

    Haha! I did the same, and my dumbest option winners are:
    1. Rick Santorum
    2. Mike Huckabee
    3. Donald Trump

    Lol
