Which candidates are the closest to each other in terms of ideology?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I'll start:

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio

Chris Christie and John Kasich

Ted Cruz and Donald Trump

Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum

The others are hard to match up

[Donald Trump 2016 !]

Lessig and Sanders.

Lessig and Sanders.

Does Lessig even have an ideology beyond getting rid of Citizens United?

Anyway, out of the Democrats, I'd say Clinton and O'Malley are the closest ideologically.

I honestly have no idea. That's the only issue I've heard him talk about and I figured that it most closely ties to Sanders.

According to CrowdPac, Clinton and O'Malley are very close, as well as a whole cluster of Republicans including Graham, Kasich, Santorum, Bush, and Jindal. Of course, CrowdPac only measures general liberal to conservative instead of specific stances on social and economic issues, but still...

If everyone gets a partner (out of the six Democrats and sixteen Republicans in the race):

Sanders-Lessig
Clinton-O'Malley
Webb-Chafee

Pataki-Christie
Bush-Kasich
Trump-Walker
Rubio-Fiorina
Santorum-Carson
Huckabee-Jindal
Gilmore-Graham
Paul-Cruz

Ugh, while I was playing around with that I accidentally pressed a button that said "Donate to Rick Santorum."

Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are not at all close. I'll say that George Pataki and Chris Christie, beyond a few choice social issues, are close.
