Peace,
I hate that bitch, but to be fair, this graphic doesn't mean much if it doesn't compare time spent serving in Congress.

She didn't do anything in the senate. And as Secretary of State, all she did was let her Henry Kissinger disease get the best of her.
I understand that but if those numbers include Sanders 16 years in the house then it isn't fair comparison.
But it does give some insight into those who said as an independent he never did anything
Quite impressive and something the American people should be more aware of.
I saw congressional and figured that was his entire tenure. Rachel Maddow did a bit on Eric Cantors bills. Bob Brady and Chaka Fattah have been inDC for years and have nothing to show for it.
then he should have more than Hillary because he was there longer......the telling fact is they portray her as somebody that gets things done and he shit doesn't even get considered.
No, she positions herself as a do it all Wonder Woman. Have you see the Chris Hutchins videos on Hilary Clinton?
How about posting a list of these 206 Sanders bills and 77 Clinton bills that became law? 
Sanders has a tough time turning his socialist visions into reality
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...record-in-congress-shows-little-soc/?page=all
Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ promises of a democratic socialist revolution have enthralled liberal voters this campaign season, but the Vermont independent’s legislative record shows he has had a tough time turning his progressive vision into reality.
During his quarter-century in Congress, Mr. Sanders has been the chief sponsor of just three bills that were signed into law: two renaming U.S. Postal Service offices in his home state of Vermont and one that increased the annual cost-of-living raise for veterans’ benefits, which he secured as chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee in 2013.
It’s a record matched by most other members of Congress, who struggle to find legislative niches where they can advance their priorities. It also underscores the concerns among many in the Democratic Party establishment that their champion in next year’s elections needs to have a record of successes in addition to a liberal vision.
All told, Mr. Sanders introduced 353 bills during 16 years in the House and nine years in the Senate, giving him a success rate of just less than 1 percent. By comparison, Sen. Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat who like Mr. Sanders has amassed a quarter-century in Congress, has had eight bills signed into law out of 376 introduced.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom Mr. Sanders is challenging for the Democratic nomination, spent eight years in the Senate. She introduced 409 bills on which she was the lead sponsor, and three became law: renaming a post office, naming a highway and establishing a national historic site in Troy, New York, to recognize female labor leader Kate Mullany.

So everyone renames a post office?
Virtually EVERY bill has dozens if not over 100 CO-sponsors! So of course someone in Congress 25 years will have co-signed more shit than someone in Congress 8 years.
Doesn't matter... his name is still attached to them and the data from the actual government site dispells the numbers in the article you posted...
His overall success rate in terms of percentage shits on hers regardless of the totals...
SIGH. Wow. By your BernieBot logic, JOHN CONYERS "shits on" everybody since he has co-sponsored over 10,000 bills.Doesn't matter... his name is still attached to them and the data from the actual government site dispells the numbers in the article you posted...

C'mon now... I honestly thought you were better than this. Maybe I was wrong. Go ahead and have the last word on this one.

Loves Wall Street. Supported Iraq war. Uses off the shelf Blackberry to conduct official business. Wants to suck Netayahu's dick... who knows where that will lead in the Middle East. Libya... how'd that turn out? Loves Telecoms. Clinton fuckery in general.
Her judgement is suspect... and her hawkish behavior is dangerous... she'll want to out-hawk men to show how tough she is
