The only person muttering RINO over and over is you. Hugin put his money where his mouth was and gave big to President Trump. He ran a big race and you don’t have to agree with everything about a candidate. It doesn’t make him, me or anyone else a RINO.
That seems beyond your ability to comprehend. Hugin never held elected office. He donated big to Donald Trump. He’s not by any reality a RINO. You however just lob the word at anything.
A person must have a voting record to even begin to define them as a RINO. This is simple reality.
The only person defending Hugin from a charge of RINOism is you and only you. He ran away from Trump, and I gave you the links to demonstrate that stance. I watched the race with embarrassment, seeing him easily hand Menendez yet another term, despite his being about as damaged as one could hope for in an incumbent, complete with credible allegations of sex with children in a foreign nation.
You also incorrectly claim one cannot be a RINO until they’ve established a voting record in office. They most certainly can be. The voting record merely CONFIRMS they are as bad or worse as we suspected during their run. I didn’t need to see Ah-nold Schwarzeneggar’s “voting record” in California to conclude he would be a ghastly left-winger ahead of the 2003 recall. I knew he was, and he was worse, once in office, than even I concluded ahead of time.
You continually badmouth Conservatives and embarrass yourself by rewriting history and reality. This conversation no longer serves any purpose but to waste JimRob’s bandwith.
Hugin didn’t run away; he tried to avoid the topic altogether and stake out a claim as being a more independent Republican.
He got tagged as being a Trump Senator and that effectively worked for Menendez.
Since Hugin never held a public voting record, calling him a RINO is namecalling on the planet of non-reality you clearly enjoy dwelling.
I didn’t badmouth conservatives. I just spoke about two people. You can idolize Longeman as much as you like. Some people are addicted to losers.
