Yeah, no shite. Way before Trump. Trump just conveniently hijacked its meaning.

It's interesting that a "Democrat currently" probably gives the best answer of the thread
I'm not a Democrat. How dare you
I'm saying a RINO is a Democrat currently because that's who runs things. They could be "Republican" under a different admin

Trump is actually the epidemy of a Rhino.
Pat Buchanan would agree.

Well, shite. Sorry.
I was actually sort of having a glimmer of home that there might actually be a sane Democrat amongst us.

That is actually funny for once. Well done.

That would be cool. Anyone that still supports that party is a fricking lunatic. Republicans aren't the solution, but Democrats in their current form are insane.
It's simply Trump to them. They can't have a coherent thought about anything without defaulting to their hate for Trump. Their brains are forever broken. Period.
If the Trump is Hitler narrative wasn't out there and gullible people didn't eat it up you would think we could all get to the point that we agree that party affiliation is a mirage and we could come together to at least say we don't want this to continue.
But no. TrUmP OMG ONOZ

Agreed. I think they agree too. He’s not really a Republican. Just hijacking the party.
He should have started his own party.
He says the RNC isn’t fair to him anyway.
I’m not sure who he believes is fair to him other than Loomer.

Having the belief in free trade and capitalism isn't exactly a popular ideal for Democrats (or Patriots, for that matter)

What exactly is a RINO?
Someone who favors exactly the same foreign policy tone and actions as Trump, but who isn't Trump.
Anybody else is "trying to start WWIII for profit," but Trump is looking out for the best interests of the American people. 'Cause, you know...he's all selfless like that.

I, too, had the exact same question as the other guy. How is Romney a Rebpulican in name only? Your answer would be fascinating.
To start, is he all in on funding Ukraine into infinity? Check. Was he all in favor of the garbage border bill that would have codified the current insanity in our immigration system? Check. Seriously, how far do you want to go with this? How much time do you have?
On, and I forgot. Did he have a son cashing in on the Ukraine gravy train? Check.

How is that violating the traditional notion of Republican?
You're displaying the exact argument that those most likely to use the term "RINO" are the ones pushing a version of Republican policy that never existed before Trump/MAGA hijacked the terms "conservative" and "Republican".
We're talking like, 100+ years of Republican party policies are suddenly now...RINO.
Republicans didn't change, you changed, but you're too scared to use a different term. My theory on that is the people manipulating y'all into this belief change understand how pitiful the election results would be if y'all did start a 3rd party.

Rockefeller Republicans. Their goal is to protect their personal megamillions, their megabillion companies, and their power. They talk conservative values for the votes.

The real problem, or course, are the CINOs who clutch to their ignorance, their "America First" leftist policies & victimhood + feelings.

Simply put-A rino loves expansion of government.
A few key points
Globalism-
Nation building-
It generally involves globalist ideology where we get involved in some sort of war in a foreign country where we have to spend money to rebuild that country.
Labor-
Undermining our workforce-
Trade agreements with other countries (ie China) to allow them to provide cheap labor at expense of our workforce.
Expansion of debt
Allowing the government to run massive deficits.

Someone with a R by their name but isn’t realty a Republican or strong conservative?
Who are some examples?
A convenient way for posters to move the goal post in an argument or discredit a Republican they disagree with.

This would be a Rep cornerstone along with supporting Israel.
Normally conservatives are always for defending Democracy.
Not so much anymore apparently. Trump Reps are closer to Dems
than conservative Rep.
