(14,255 posts)2. No vote for any Democrat who votes for, or, if not in office, champions or supports the TPA/TPP.
Because they are not real Democrats, they do not have Democratic principles.

Calculated as to whether that particular Senator can stand a hit or not in his or hers reelection. From what we have seen,every Dem Senator that voted to move this crap,is covered and will be able to withstand any onslaught from their base. This POS has been circling D.C. since 2012 and is part of the old Simson-Bowles group. Watch for Dick Gephart and Tom Dachel to pop up soon.
