12. I always like to check how the Repubs refer to our candidates.

I don’t know why they’ve embraced the word “Democrat” as an adjective instead of the noun that it is. Other than either being ignorant, or intentionally insulting or belittling (“we’ll call you what WE FEEL LIKE calling you”).

It’s a proper noun, as I remember being taught in school, long ago. Those nuns would accept no substitute.
