Ballotpedia<\/a> has an admirable summary.\u00a0 Here’s their VoteMatch analysis:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

With regard to his answers to “On the Issues Vote Quiz”, it’s heartening to see I agree with his answers on the final three (opposes never legalizing marijuana, stay out of Iran, do not expand the military) as well as favoring a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens; otherwise, either we disagree, or his stance or my stance is unknown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As a “Tea Party” favorite, I do not think he has much chance of winning an election, nor the GOP nomination.\u00a0 His activities tend to extremes, with little room for compromise; I do not wish to imagine voting for him.\u00a0 But his campaign may be more along the lines of getting to be part of the conversation, which I respect.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
