"Comparing Clinton Primary Popularity vs Challengers" graphic - Also shows Obama's 2008 trendlines

Best graphic I've seen comparing Bernie and Obama's trendlines along with Clinton's trendlines I've ever seen. Hat tip goes to Erich Bloodaxe, BSN for finding this in D-Kos.

Congress.gov: Bernie Sanders vs Hillary Clinton on sponsorship/co-sponsorship of bills

Note: I made this note on another thread while ago, and was encouraged to make it to an OP - and didn't quite have the post numbers to make it into an OP.

Bernie has sponsored 5 bills became which became law, but he also co-sponsored over 5,000 pieces of bills and 203 became law.

Here. https://www.congress.gov/member/bernard-sanders/S000033?q=%7B%22sponsorship%22%3A%22cosponsored%22%2C%22bill-status%22%3A%22law%22%7D

Clinton... *ahem* sponsored 3 bills which became law...and co-sponsored only 74 pieces of legislation, and all became law.

I think Bernie's got this one, and that should end any idiotic memes about Bernie's legislative history about him doing 'nothing'.
