But would you have used that word if the list consisted of majority Republicans?
Of the approximately 44 former U.S. Senators who signed the op-ed, 10 are Republicans and 2 are Independents. The rest are Democrats. And since the snub "elites" have been pegged to Democrats for decades by those on the right to the point now where the term is commonplace with conservative talk radio these days, who else could you have been referring to?
Yes. I would have used that word if the list consisted of majority Republicans. Heck, I would have used that word if the list was ALL Republicans.
I have constantly spoken about Congressional Elites...both Rep and Dem...as well as Party Elites...both Rep and Dem.
