re: What exactly is a RINO?

He's on the Ukraine money laundering scheme list. He will vote blindly for any support to Ukraine. His family was enriched by Ukraine and that points to him being compromised.

There is absolutely 0 accountability or transparency for anything being sent to Ukraine. No documenting where the money is spent or sent. Just a multi billion dollar check and good luck with it. Ask for more when you spend it.

Most republicans are RINOs. Very few are disciplined and unbought. Elected officials should be servants to the people and not big business, but at this point, they solely serve big business. The system is purely broke.

How is Romney a Republican in name only?

I’m pretty sure he has one of the most conservative records out there.

What makes him a RINO?

I was wrong about Mitt. 48% lifetime score. Damn. RINO for sure.

I consider Romney as one of those "what could have been".

I truly believe had he won in 2012, he could have been another Ronald Reagan for our country. We are seeing right now he was 1000% correct on his what happens when close to 50% of Americans pay no federal income tax statement. We're pretty much at that threshold now, crossed it in 2020 or 2021, which means the margins for any Republican candidate to win the White House are extremely thin. Too many people riding in the wagon, not enough pulling, and the vast majority of those riding don't want to have to jump back out and help pull.

However, something happened to him several years back. Maybe he never got over the 2012 loss, combined that with his back and forth with Trump, and he just doesn't seem to be the same politician he was previously. It's like he's gotten eaten up with resentment and has just gone off the deep end.
