(Blue dog, correct term?) Henry CUELLAR takes the Pardon *and* the trashing, who knew KRASNOV expected loyalty?

2. Thanks sincerely for far more info than I had. My main frames of reference are the endorsements from

Speaker PELOSI et al. and that he will probably be replaced by a Repuke if he's primaried out. He's not the only one who plays tootsie in competitive districts. In my little, inconsequential corner of of personal beliefs I've long held that anybody in our party who is a crook forfeits the Democratic label, since I have such powerful say-so, haha.

What sifted down to my level of popular interest in this story was that Dear Leader abused the Pardon power (again), expected "loyalty" from the recipient, who at least defied him publicly - fascinating psychological kabuki going on.

No need for the blistering statistical lesson. I'm reminded of my ignorance on untold numbers of subjects all the time, mostly my own reminders.

*** ON EDIT: Again , I don't have the hard data to dispute that the district is all that solidly Dem, certainly not Progressive, or why have they been voting him in since he doesn't make a secret of his doings, plus that Big Bosses call the shots (hearsay). And is MAGA redistricting in play? As for what the constituents "deserve," uh, voting against own interests is common everywhere.

And, we've pushed my universe to its limits, so am checking out here.
