I was expecting Democrats to place Hillary to the right of Cruz!

[BaconBacon96]

lol at Christie being on the liberal side
lol at Huckabee being more conservative than Cruz, Perry, Jindal etc.

This is so stupid.

Looking at the full data Democrats see Webb on the conservative side lol.

Also O'Malley is at 40 among Democrats. So much for positioning himself to Clinton's left.

So much for "hillary is a secret republican" and "bernie sanders isnt far-left but actually a moderate!!!"

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

The former Democrat who endorsed Al Gore and Rudy Giuliani is more conservative than Rand Paul.

These people vote.

Your tendency to latch on to extremely misguided data is pretty great.

Well, Perry was pretty much a  boll weevil holdover who changed parties late.

I wonder how many trees were killed to create this worthless poll.

Joke poll.

Yet lib media tries to portray RINO-dominated Republican Party  as "rigid" - the sad reality is the tent is  so large that there's nothing the current crop of establishmentarians stand for.

You do realize this has nothing to do with actual ideology, just what "low info" voters think are candidate's ideology? But wait, that would require you actually read the content of the threads you post in.

Obviously inaccurate. Hillary's number should be at least 100.

First of all I've never heard anyone anywhere describe the Republican candidates as "rigid"

Next the poll that's in the OP is just based on some random group of people's "thoughts" of where the candidates are ideologically.  90% of the public has no idea what they're talking about with this stuff so they amount to little more than guesses.
