The label "Democratic" is *gone* if the holder is crooked.
Yes, his voting has been almost all Dem and he was endorsed every time by the party hierarchy, but he had a hefty dose of Faux Propaganda Network appearances with tons of breaking with Dem admins mostly about Border stuff.
In recent elections he's had Progressive, young women contenders who are said would lose to the Wingnut MAGAt big ranch and oil bosses of the Border, Laredo TX district.
Big umbrella aside, crooks forfeit the Democratic label.
