It is great that we recently had an election and had a great turnout. I think there is some confusion. When asked which party do you represent, I saw Republican, Democratic, Non-Partisan, Constitution and Libertarian. Where was the Democrat Party? Where did the Democrats go to vote? Government is a tricky business and to introduce a new party called Democratic during an election is interesting. I believe that the word democratic comes from the word democracy, meaning "a government by the people," and a political unit that has a democratic government." So, it appears that our leaders have installed a new party called Democratic. Have we lost command of the English language? Hmm....

Silly comment. The Democratic Party has been around for over 150 years. They named themselves, using "Democratic" as aan adjective,modifying the noun knowing full well what it meant. Those of us who voted for them know as well. As Paul Manafort once told me, calling it the Democrat Party was an insult, invented by HIm (he claimed) so that the Repbulivans could have a daily, subtle insult to use against the Democrats. He failed, obviously, but the Republicans still try to do it.
