(614 posts)it does position hillary higher with conservatives than either bernie or liz, but we have no clue what dimensions the ACU used to make these rankings.
their claim that any one of bernie or liz or hillary would 'not disappoint' those hoping for a 3rd term makes my point pretty well; bernie is not interested in staying the obama course, but expanding, building on, and improving it.
i daresay a rank ordering of these 3 - and others - would show substantial distances and differences on the dimensions that matter to most progressives. such as frakking, TPP, universal healthcare, $15 minimum wage, zero college debt, interventionism, breaking up the banks, palestine, and so on.
here's a chart that makes a lot more sense to me, though again, it is only looking at the dimensions of left/right, authoritarian/libertarian.
