>> these voters are lining up squarely behind GOP candidates for Congress <<
Yeah, I think the Washington Compost has a little trouble with terminology, “conventional wisdom” and their agenda-driven dfalse narrative.
The RATagandists are trying to persuade the public that the TEAparty is dead, and that anyone running under a Republican brand should be labelled as GOP.
The WaPo would of course rather help RATs than RINOs, but when TEApublicans enter the conversation...RINOS RULE!
You may have just coined a new word: "dfalse", as in "Democratic lies/lying/liars".
