16. So Booker is 10th, Bernie 15th

Jan 2017

out of 48 Dems. What's the point here other than to continue besmirching Bernie?

To provide context and objectivity, here are a few other progressive ratings for some other Dems from blue or swing States:

Kaine, Tim 70.24
Schumer, Chuck 90.68
Murray, Patty 87.07
Klobuchar, Amy 81.40
Feinstein, Dianne 78.02

Why are you conflating Booker with Bernie?
