The conservative National Taxpayers Union prefers Bernie to Hillary.

At least they did in 2008, the last year they were both in the Senate.

He got a D, a score of 18%, and a Senate ranking of 53.

Hillary got an F, a score of 4%, and a score of 79.

The conservatives liked him better, because she spent too much of the “taxpayers’ money.”

Interesting.

Anyone running misses tons of votes. That distorts every one of these scores. You see the same thing for McCain or Kerry in the years they ran.

it is idiotic to argue Sanders is less liberal than HRC. It's not true. I doubt HRC would agree that she is more liberal.

I mean don't we base all our decisions on what they say?
