    Hm, good to know. I recently did one of those online "what candidate/party do you mostly identify with" things (it was pretty comprehensive, had lots of questions, lots of views, very balanced imo), and while I think I was at like 94% Cruz, my Fiorina was in the 70's. I'd been wondering, and the above helps me know why.

    Edit: Here we go. http://www.isidewith.com/elections/2...sidential-quiz
    Interesting, my answers have shifted somewhat I think. My top is now Paul at 93%, followed by Cruz and Rubio at 90%. Fiorina's down at 69%.

    My differences with her (per their answer comparison chart) (ignoring ones where they say they can't determine her stance):
    She supports tax credits/subsidies to wind power, I think energy subsidies should all be eliminated.
    She thinks the gov't should continue to subsidize farmers, I think subsidies should be eliminated and let the free market reign.
    She thinks corporate income tax rates should be reduced, I think flat tax with no deductions (so I guess that's sort of similar, but the site counted it as different).
    She thinks employers should be required to pay equal salaries to men and women, I think the gov't shouldn't mandate wages (on a personal level I indeed agree with equal pay for equal work but it's not the gov'ts place to do so).
    She supports TPP, I think there's too much hidden.
    She supports the Patriot Act, I think gov't surveillance should be prohibited.
    She thinks corporations/unions shouldn't be permitted to fund ads via Super PACs, I think restrictions on campaign spending violates the First.
    She thinks the NSA should be able to collect metadata, I say get a warrant first.
    She thinks the Social Security age should be increased, I say get rid of it entirely (hey, I'm 30, it'll be defunct by the time I get there, huge Ponzi scheme that it is :P).
    She thinks yes spy on our allies, I say no.
    She thinks US should formally declare war on ISIS, I say stay out of the Mid East conflicts.
    She doesn't support marijuana legalization, I say tax it.
