So according to The Posts’ quiz thing, Yang, Bennet, Patrick, Bloomberg, and Biden all think the US should consider joining the TPP, though only Patrick gave a straight yes:

In any event, I’m on the progressive end of the scale, but I but found Delaney the best of the moderate candidates when he debated.

Oh wow! I didn ’t know they made a new one! I saw that graphic thing, but it was made before Patrick and Bloomberg entered the race

Yeah, it’s been expanded. Not perfect, but a lot better than the first iteration.

Things get a bit mushy in the middle, but I feel like the quiz scoring roughly matched my opinions of the candidates:

I’d like Warren, but aside from maybe having Steyer a little low and Buttigieg a bit high, this feels more or less right to me.

Interesting, apparently I match up with Biden, Bloomberg, and Bennet 9/20. I would have expected Tulsi Gabbard.

Who? Probably a legit response for most.

Note to self: try to be out of the country on election day.

I got 11/20 with Steyer, 9/20 with Bennet, and the rest were 8 or less.

Sad part... most people are now wondering why they didn’t know that John Mulane y was old enough to run for President, or that he was running...

You know, that guy... the younger irish-catholic Seinfeld-lookin’ standup comic guy ....
