First if all it's "Democratic" not "Democrat" which is a slur and I'm going to start reporting it as such if things don't get better.

"Democrat" is the unambiguous correct term there, actually. This is because the statement is that he is a governor, and he is a Democrat. That is, Democrat is something which he is in addition to being a governor.

Compare, for instance, the phrase "businessman president" for the current President in office. He's a businessman, and a president, hence the phrase. We wouldn't change the phrase to something like "businessmanesque president" or something like that simply to try to force "businessman" to be in a form more easily read as an adjective, and indeed if we did so the phrase would take on a different connotation.

I'm sorry this is rat lotion and I'm personally sick of putting up with it.

The party of Jefferson's correct name is "Democratic" not "Democrat"

It is the Democratic Party not the Democrat Party.

I member of the the Democratic party is called a "Democrat" but when referred to as a party member it's "Democratic".

In the sentence in question "The governor" is a noun being acted on my an adjective.

What kind of governor is Dayton ?

A Democratic governor.

Why ?

Because he's a member of the Democratic Party.

The say Dayton is a Democrat Governor is claiming he's member of the Democrat Party

Which is a slur I'm sick of putting up with.

What difference at this point does it make?

The party of Jefferson's correct name is the "Democratic-Republican Party."

The Democratic Party is the party of Andrew Jackson, and broke off from that party.

But in any case the correct term for a member of the Democratic Party has always been a "Democrat" not a "Democratic" so my point stands.

Well it wouldn't if you had an understanding of English grammar.

Democrat is a noun in this case

Democratic is an adjective

Democrat should not be used as a adjective.

Because it's a noun.

I changed it so that the grammar is correct. Here's what it looks like now:

has the OP acknowledged yet that what was linked to was a lie long ago debunked?

The OP claims that Nancy Pelosi said the quote: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what it is in it."

And indeed, here we have a video of her saying just that:


It's hard to see where there's a lie here.
