    Totally ridiculous.

    "Becoming" ... HA!

    As if the vast majority of people who belong to either the Democrat or Republican parties don't have a "cult like" devotion to their party.
    It's been "my party, right or wrong" for decades.

    "Cult" is derived from an ancient word meaning a plow. Related words are cultivate, culture, colon and colony. 

    "Cult" is the only one of that group that is not well defined. In most cases it is used as a general purpose insult for a religious group.

    To be fair, we should note that almost all words used in a political context are not well defined. IOW almost nobody actually knows what they are saying, although it is pretty certain that they do know exactly what they are talking about.

    Bob Corker has finally found his cojones now that he isn't running for re-election.  That truth should have been spoken much sooner.
