Yeah, Pataki sounds okay. I never voted for him as governor, but whatever. He didn't fuck up NY, so that's more than you can say about Walker and Wisconsin.
Christie and Fiorina would probably be moderate enough, too.
Bush would be moderate, but is a bit more... Bushy than I would prefer.
I really don't think Trump would push hard on abortion. I think he would use the office to benefit himself personally in every way possible and probably end up being impeached. But if there's ANYTHING good than can be said about him, it's that he is not a Conservative Crusader for Christ, unlike Cruz, Walker, et al.
When I took one of those "which candidate lines up with my votes" quizzes last night, Rand Paul was the highest Republican for me. What?? I don't understand how that could be. Jeb!* was second out of the GOP candidates so I guess I will go with him. I don't remember Pataki even being on the list. Maybe the website forgot about him too.
As a side note, I had 95% in common with Bernie which surprised me. I thought I would have been more in line with Hillary.
* I missed why we refer to Jeb! as Jeb!, but I am going with it. I want to fit in.
