Was watching CNN earlier and Senator Barrosa from Wyoming labeled Senator Harris the "most liberal senator" even more liberal than Bernie. That got me thinking that this is always the tired argument for them no matter who our POTUS or VPOTUS candidates are...Obama was the most liberal, and before him it was Kerry, hell, if I go dig a little I can probably come up with examples of Hillary being called it it too.
Second thing, why is that a bad thing anyway? You never hear the Democrats saying "the most conservative Senator", again the Republicans like being called conservative
