The freedom caucus and tea party say hi. All handful of them. Any day now. Nevermind the fact that the RINO title just means disagrees with on any issue or subject. Good luck.
RINO means pursuing policies that favour the political elite on both sides, rather than those that are concerns of the general population who voted Republican.
Whatever subjective stand is. Those who use the term RINO instead of pointing out the good and the bad about a particular politician are essentially windsocks.
Here let me demonstrate. Trump was the republic an president between 2017-2020. He did quite a few things correctly. Governed in a lot of ways from the middle and we can point to his campaign promises as having either a correlative or a causative relationship to things like the record unemployment rates. It can be argued that his policy of deregulation pushed it past the flattening curve.
He also did a lot of things wrong. The same deregulation arguably can be said to have long term repercussions to things like the environment etc.
Also the tax cut for example. Good for business but there is a sundown clause. Of course it can be fixed but did it need to be there.
Then there was a crisis and regardless of what can and cannot be blamed on him he is allegedly a leader. He kinda failed at that or may be in some ways he succeeded and was hated for it
I think the only thing that’s indefensible is his post election positioning but i am sure globalism and blah blah cna be used to defend anything.
Anyway without delving too deeply into these points do you see what i mean?
You do not speak for “the general population who voted Republican.” You speak only to your own perspective - and as such, your definition of “RINO” speaks only to your personal purity test.
There are, no doubt, many millions of Republicans who disagree with you, and your version of ideological purity.
No it wasn’t because the law that eventually passed didn’t match this one and not just In the sunset provision part of it. I wonder if this bill was pushed specifically so they can make your point come election time. I wonder why 11 republicans in the house voted against it. Something to do it being election year. I think.
