5/5

Representative Cuellar easily makes it into in the top 5 worst Democrats in Congress and has received the well-earned nickname of "Trump's Favorite Democrat". However, unlike other atrocious Dems he does not even have the excuse of coming from a Red or Purple District. Obama and Clinton both won his district by more than 20%, yet Cuellar has voted multiple times to repeal the Affordable Care Act and favors anti-choice legislation.

There is almost no mainstream Democratic issue that Cuellar is not willing to throw under the bus. He supports privatizing the VA, cutting the minimum wage for agricultural workers, and is in love with policies that increase carbon emissions. With a conservative record like this, Cuellar has received the highest rating of any Democrat by the Chamber of Commerce, and has the Koch Brothers' campaign donations to prove it.

Cuellar just barely squeaked out a win over a progressive challenger in 2020, after millions of dollars flooded into his district to prop up the tottering incumbent. He will most certainly be given another run for his money next time around, and even mainstream Democrats should be fired up about the prospect of beating this guy.
