GOP Presidential Runners 2016 - in a Venn Diagram

This implies that it is impossible to be a moderate Christian Conservative, or a moderate Tea Party member.

I am not sure I accept this model of the world.

Or it may be based on the actual current candidates and if there was someone who had those attributes the size and position of the circles would change.

Sigh.

He's not saying being Christian Conservative is impossible. He's saying there are currently no Christian Conservative candidates.

Cool. Is Jindal running?

Ha . . . this place cracks me up. How can a conservative be a moderate anything? English rarely spoken here . . .

If you live in a world of extremes... then everyone who disagrees with you is an extremist.

Many of us accept that there are a wide range of reasonable positions, and that decent people can disagree respectfully without acrimony. I have friends who are moderate conservatives.

"Moderate conservatives" . . . ah-hahahahahahahahahahaha . . . you crack me up. You'll try to turn any thread into a pissing contest, won't ya Max?

You like to start pissing threads. I like contests. Pissing contests are the natural result.

Here is what they have to say about the matter:

"Some wings overlap more with others. For instance, a candidate could easily have a lot of appeal to both tea party and libertarian voters. But it's unlikely that one candidate would simultaneously be the choice of both Christian conservatives and moderate voters."

"Other coalitions -- those that do not overlap on the diagram -- are unlikely to make for natural pairings. For instance, it is hard to conceive of a candidate who would simultaneously be the ideal choice for both moderate Republicans and the religious right."

I know someone who is strongly anti-abortion-- feels that abortion is deeply immoral and should be outlawed in almost every case. This same person is fine with gay marriage. I suspect that there is a measurable number of people who are like this.

Where would this person fit in this Venn diagram?

A Venn diagram implies a mathematical model of voters. I don't buy it.

Where would Trump be on this? A sixth circle called 'nutjob'?

Dante Alighieri, has there ever been a better name? just ask in a bar in Bologna.
Not that I know, though I have been there, but my ital teacher studied there, while being from Padova, and told me about the gatherings of Dante folks, that she so enjoyed.

Oh, wait, back to to trumpet man.
