If the “Democrat Party” wanted to be called the “Democratic Party” instead, they could just _change_ it. That’s how names work. His friend Bruce Jenner ought to be able to explain that to him.

I had to [Google this and find the YouTube.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcvQgjhyBNo) It sounded so absurd I thought it had to be an Onion story, but no — it’s real. (This is a man who’d use names like ‘nigger,’ ‘spic,’ and ‘cunt’ if he could.)

The clip goes downhill from there: “The Democrat Party is the Party of Crime … that’s what it is!” All of course brought to us courtesy of FoxNews.

It’s because the “demonratic” party doesn’t parse well.

In order to take up the right’s latest slur against their fellow americans, and make it work, they have to change the name of the american citizens they consider to be their mortal enemies.

It’s \*so \*close to “DemonicRat” that I wonder why these people don’t say that instead.

Great! I wish them every happiness as they wander hand-in-hand into the sunset, and _leave the rest of the world alone!_

We’ll need a cite for that. “Jesus Fucking Christ” gets more Google hits than “Jesus Henry Christ” and “Jesus H. Christ” added together.

What do you think the “H” stands for? Sorry, no cite available. You’ll have to take it on faith.

Ba-da-_bing_!

Probably because most of them are corrupt as all getout themselves. They had to extensively review the small print and by-laws first.

I really should give up my hobby of parsing Donald’s word salad…but I’m having more difficulty than usual with this one. Is he saying that the proper name is “Democratic” but he prefers saying “Democrat” because it sounds bad? or that “Democrat” is the right name? And it just happens to also sound bad? He keeps just spinning in oratorical circles and not landing anywhere.

Why do we drive on parkway and park on a driveway?

Why do we call them democrats when they are evil haters of the United Shates (sic.) of America?
