Presidential candidates tech stances: not great

How do the candidates for the presidency of the US do on technical issues?
Two companies (Tusk Ventures [tuskventures.com] and Engine [soylentnews.org])" rel="url2html-6967">http://engine.is/">Engine) on startups, government and policies evaluated the candidates on
- privacy & security
- intellecutal property
- education, talent and workforce
- broadband access and infrastructure

Report: site [engine.is].
Blog post: here [engine.is]

Overall conclusion:
Clinton B+
Sanders B
Cruz D
Kasich D+
Rubio C+
Trump F

There's little explanation on the methodology though. Seems to be "This candidate has said something on this once/twice/often" - not the forefront of academic rigor.
Nevertheless: I am (somewhat) curious about this. So my questions to SN:
- How would you grade the candidates on the above issues?
- What are your reasons for those grades?
