If the first presidential debate was a sniping contest, it was a tie. With all the name calling, (clown… liar) and degrading slams (not smart… liar), this debate plucked my nerves and made me feel the same as when my dogs are being ugly with one another. I wonder if Wallace could’ve gained control by wielding my yellow flyswatter while shouting obscenities at the presidential hopefuls.
I took a Presidential Election Candidate quiz. Not because I don’t already know who I’m voting for, but because I wanted to know within what areas I matched each candidate on specific issues. You can take the quiz here.
Go ahead and take it… we’ll wait.
Before I talk about the results, let me first say there’s no way this quiz can tell you who to vote for. It doesn’t take into account how strongly you agree or disagree with an issue. I might care a little about the US banning assault weapons — and care a whole big bunch about not defunding or abolishing police departments. In this quiz, both would be weighted the same.
No consideration or weight is given on any issue — and that’s a pretty big deal.
