Yeah. The problem with that test (not that it isn't good enough at what it does) is that there are certain deal breakers for candidates. If my candidate is racist then it's a deal-breaker for me no matter what other tenets I hold with them. When Rand Paul went Pro-Life in the pres. run I knew I was done. You can't run as the 'Libertarian' Republican and run Pro-Life, even if your foreign policy and domestic spying stances are well aligned with mine.
