Someone that sides with Democrats in certain circumstances or uses their false narratives.
It's one thing to oppose Trump, it's completely unacceptable to ever side with scum bag Democrats or use their lies to further your agenda.
No matter their internal differences, all Republicans should be unified in their fight against Democrats like Democrats are against Republicans. The fact that they are not is one of the reasons we're losing this country. A divided party will only cede power to a unified party.
Trump certainly could fall into this category thanks to his divisive rhetoric, but the never Trump crowd is equally guilty if not even more guilty.

Wait, are you really calling Ukraine a democracy? And while it is true that in the past Republicans have engaged in the folly of meddling in wars and nation building, most Repubs have learned and changed. Some haven’t obviously.

Republicans didn't change, you changed, but you're too scared to use a different term. My
They'd be appalled if they knew what teddy Roosevelt's actual campaign platforms were and what he did in office. Still the best president I can find out there by the way. Would vote for more of the same exact stuff today

Hilariously, that mirror is pointed at your name.

A Republican that has adopted Globalism principles and supports WEF. These principles are requirements for being a modern day Democrat, hence why someone with a (R) is called a RINO.

Yes, it does. WEF is the NWO and anti-America.

I agree with you, but I doubt we agree for the same reasons. Why is this thread so telling? What assumptions need to be made in order to ask this question?
Republican In Name Only isn't a new term. The OP seems oblivious to the definition or the context of its usage.
If RoadGator was asking to offer some clarification, as in what does it mean TODAY, for example, then fine. But that's not what is seen in the OP.

Terms need to be defined. Mainly for MAGA folk.
Terms like RINO are well understood by those knowledgeable and familiar with US politics. RoadGator seems to be neither.
And "MAGA" folk? Why even bother to introduce that into the equation? The term RINO predates the current MAGA movement by decades. A RINO is one who talks a big conservative game, like border control, or 'repeal and replace' but then does nothing to make those issues come to fruition.
There are some here who have followed and been aware of politics since well before Trump. Before W, Clinton, Bush41, Reagan and beyond.
But sure, it's all "MAGA" to you, I guess.

So…..Trump?

Because Trump and his base called the most conservative Governor a RINO. They did it over and over again.
Get your head out of your arse.
