    You are the second to post such, and I stand corrected. However, it is a bit fuzzy as it prescribes penalties for insurrection but does not say what "insurrection" is.

    But you're not. You're saying Democrats and Republican clothing are true Republicans and they're not.

    that's false what I'm calling a RINO is a Democrat that pretends to be a Republican. That wasn't what a republican was in world war II or any other time at any other place in the history of this nation
    Why would a leftist know anything about this?

    Not what I said at all. But others have said it too:

    The Real RINO
    Mr. Trump does not want people to support the Republican Party or its values. He wants people to support him and his values (if he has any). He wants Republicans to be loyal to him over the party and over the country, as well. So, Donald Trump is the ultimate RINO (Republican in name only) because his ego will not permit him to be bound by the Enlightenment ideals and principles held by principled Republicans.

    Yeah I know what you said it's just false. RINOs are Democrats that pretend to be Republican like mitt Romney or Liz Cheney.

    I don't care how much you kick against those particular pricks it will always be this way.

    That's YOUR definition. It doesn't have to be mine and every other AmeriCANs. We see a RINO as someone who wouldn't know a Republican if they punched em in the mouth. You "NEED" to paint it differently to reconcile you persecution of good AmeriCANs that see tRaitor tRumps tyranny for what it is.

    definition is determined by popular usage and I doubt 60 million people are calling themselves RINOs
    Still doubt 60 million people are calling themselves RINOs.
    that description fits you you're telling Democrats Republicans because you don't know any better.
    nobody ever needs to reconcile your fairytale.

    Surely RINO is basically a glorified insult? In which case, it seems a bit odd to insist on a tight definition of what it means, especially if that definition paints Cheney, someone who voted 93% of the time with Trump, as a democrat. I think it's used to mean "A traitor to the party". That can mean all kinds of things.

    Well the whole premise of this thread seems a little absurd true rhinos so purity in impurity. So who is really the purely impure.

    I really only call people who seem to be Democrats lying about being Republicans RINOs.

    But how can Cheney be a dem, having one of the most conservative voting records in Congress?

    Ask the people who aren't voting for her.
    If she represents conservatives why doesn't she represent conservatives?

    Well surely there is the flaw in your argument. They're not voting for her because she stood up to Trump. Nothing to do with policy.

    Fair question. Which do you think is more likely? They're abandoning someone who voted 93% of the time with Trump because they think her policy is democrat-based, or because she abandoned Trump?

    My guess is for the 7% of the time she didn't.
    I don't have to make up some mysterious cabal against people. What would she voting for in that 7% of the time she didn't vote with Trump. I'm betting it was on very important issues.

    Because there's a reason they're not re-electing her and I don't buy this cult like loyalty to Trump nonsense.

    Then why aren't voters abandoning Gaetz, Stefanek, Gosar and Jordan? They voted less often with Trump.

    It's not a law of averages it's strategic on what did they voted for and what they voted against.

    I still don't accept your conspiracy theory.

    Trump is extremely vocal about telling people not to vote for those who defied him. His supporters seem to oblige. So my position isn't a conspiracy theory - it's the most obvious explanation, especially given that people with a less conservative voting record than Cheney are not being abandoned by Republican voters.

    and you think she has some sort of magical power that controls other people's thoughts?

    I don't agree.
    and that can't possibly be because they agree with him? Why?
    Oh it seems like she believes in Mass hypnotism or people just in love with a personality and that's not realistic so I'm inclined to think it's a conspiracy theory.

    I think people tend to agree with Trump because they agree with him not because he's just magical. Or whatever the hell you were thinking.

    The Constitution. Such people outnumbered anti-trump Republicans so... Here we are. Seems like it's going to be the direction of the Republican party for the foreseeable future.

    Yep, there you're right; the tRumpublican RINO's have ripped the rug out from under real Republicans.

    The REAL RINOs.
    Try Mitt Romney and
    John McCain's swing vote on ObamaCare what a fraud.

    Real Republicans believe in the Constitution and
    especially our Bill of Rights.
    For me #1, 2, 4, & the most ignored - 10 .
