(546 posts)The ACU rates every member of Congress on how they vote on the conservative politcal agenda.
Over his 25 years in Congress Bernie Sanders has a 6.32 out of 100 rating. Elizabeth Warren has a 4.0 rating and Hillary Clinton had a 8.13% rating from the ACU for her years in the Senate.
Here's what the American Conservative Union said about Hillary Clinton in 2014:
"Another interesting fact in our analysis is the stark reminder that Sec. Hillary Clinton is no moderate. While many in the media portray her as more centrist than self-described Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or fringe activist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Clintons lifetime rating of 8.13% is within two percentage points from those extremists. And shockingly, all three of these presidential hopefuls are even more liberal than President Barack Obamas Lifetime Rating of 10% from when he served in the U.S. Senate. If America wants a third Obama term, three candidates will not disappoint."
