Those who view 95% of the Republican Party as “RINO” do not have a clear eyed view of the American population. So who cares what is considered a “pantywaist” in that group.
Of course, there is the gigantic problem that anyone acceptable to the Purists can’t win statewide elections and only a few Congressional districts. Their tent is so big one can almost get a Flea Circus under it.
All I have to do is look at the most popular president in the last 70 years and see he was a rock-ribbed conservative. And yes, he frickin horrifed the Rockefeller/pantywaist wing of the party.
