I was dozing during the Mr & Ms Joe and Mika Mouse SCABS circus, and didn't know what he was going on about (his quitting), but heard him refer to the DemocratIC Party more than once as "the DemoCRAT Party" and I wanted to post about this all day but didn't want to risk it. But here goes, in this thread, because my point is not about Primaries or about putting down fellow Dems, but rather that any cognizant Dem should be aware that the "DemoCRAT" meme, noun used where an adjective goes, is a Frank LUNTZ creation from the 1990s of GINGRICH/LIMBOsevic, where LUNTZ was riding high with his snake oil focus groups, telling the Repukes what words to use with negative impact against us.

Yea, well yeah, using a noun where an adjective should go grates on the ears, so there's the root of that.

But *ANY* Democrat, any Democratic Party member, should know this and not be THOUGHTLESS about it. I'm trying to figure out why one of our party leaders and even a candidate for our nomination, would be so oblivious about even a detail like this.

The problem now is that the population alive today is far removed from yesteryear's pop culture, so many don't know the DemocratIC/DemoCRAT meme thing such that LUNTZ's crap is normalized now.
