Not that I believe that crap, but if you were to extrapolate from all their stories about the restless extremists this year, that would be the inevitable conclusion.
Naturally, the LSM keeps referring to the "moderate Republican" Chaffee. If he's a moderate, I'm Brad Pitt and believe me, I ain't near that good lookin'.
