Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXV: Fin
Out of boredom I gave it a fling. When finished, the site told me the two candidates with whom I was most closely aligned were Hillary Clinton and Scott Walker. At the time I thought the result so absurd I ignored it, and didn't even post my outcome.
We live in a time where it is very difficult to fit election results into neat little boxes, easily explained.
Months and months ago someone here linked to one of those interactive sites where you answer 25-50 questions and then they tell you the candidate(s) with whom you are most aligned. This was way back at the beginning of the primary season.NC elected a Democratic governor by 4500 votes, and Trump won by 180,000 votes.
Who the hell are the 175,000 people who voted for Trump but the Democratic governor?
