Shame on Henry Cuellar, Lloyd Doggett, Gene Green, Marc Veasey, and Fil Vela.

[Attorney in Texas]

Frankly, no one should be surprised to see Henry Cuellar or Fil Vela on this list of shameful Democrats crossing party lines to support the xenophobic anti-refugees, but reading Lloyd Doggett's name on this list is heartbreaking.

1. Many Texas Democrats are upset with these people

3. It was definitely a WTF moment when I saw Lloyd's name on that list.

4. Is the NDC-New Democratic Coalition adding to its membership? Moving third way?

Last member is DWS. Several Texans are on the roll.

IMO, third way is void of progressive democratic issues. If you can take some time, go through the Issue drop down text and see what is missing or check it for claims coming from Centralist Democrats. Soon you will be able to compare all their previous Platforms, with their 2016 Platforms to see if you agree with the shift. Like always, it is becoming increasing important to study the Platforms of candidates running in the same party for the same office.

As an example: It is very important to study the Platforms and Policies of candidates running for the same office, like the State Board of Education.

Several Texas lawmakers are not running for re-election. I will be careful to study before voting for, let us say, one of 5 candidates running for the same office. I do not support third way's issues. I am still against moving Social Security Benefits away from free government management to a fee situation paid to Wall Street for its management.

5. Push to move Social Security to the Stock Market by the Bush's and the Clinton's.

The Clinton's and the Republicans have always wanted to privatize/move it to Wall Street, the Social Security Insurance Trust Fund, owned and funded by, We the People. We will need to ask the candidates if they support such a move, now but did not in previous campaigns.

6. I wish our party was about more than Republican-lite moderation

7. It could be more. It could be advanced triangulation.

HRC could tells us she is allowed by the 1% to offer a 20% cut in Big Pharmaceutical pricing if we vote for allowing Wall Street to charge a 20% management fee for our Social Security benefits.

Triangle:
Big Pharma - 20%, Wall Street +20% = Another Bush Medicare Medicine Blunder for We the People.

After adjustments with ACA, We the People are out (on the street) 20% of our Social Security benefit.

Next it is back to the HRC Supporters move to Social Security to the Stock Market after part of Dodd-Frank went down by Republican-lite in Congress, TPTB, so Big Banks could take risks with depositor's money again like they did after HRC Supporters took down Glass-Steagall 1998-2015. HRC,"They better cut that out."
