UN: It’s ‘Democratic’ Party, People

While it is currently in vogue for Republicans to use the term “Democrat Party” it really isn’t grammatically correct*. So, for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to use it speaks volumes about the man who heads up education in Idaho. What is especially ironic is this quote from Sup. Luna; “Elections have consequences." Indeed they do/Unequivocal Notion.

Question: Do Idaho Republicans, like Luna, refer to the other major political party as "Democrat Party" to annoy Democrats? Or because they don't know better?
