Sessions is one step away from being a RINO. I wouldn’t trust Sessions as far as I could throw him. And I don’t think he’s that bright either.

Nick, there you go again. You don’t know the difference between Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama (great Conservative) and Congressman PETE Sessions of Texas (major league RINO).

nickcarraway:

I was agreeing with your side of the argument over Trump and for the reasons you were giving in addition to others. OTOH, it is bad enough that Jeff Sessions is apparently advising Trump on immigration issues. I would hope that you are not going to reflexively attack Jeff Sessions for doing so.

Do you have any evidence (other than Sessions' assistance to Trump) of RINO tendencies? I tend to think of Sessions as being generally more reliably conservative than all GOP Senators other than Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. Sessions' political roots are in Young Americans for Freedom in the era of the New Right (1960s and 1970s), an era that separated the men from the boys ideologically and led to the Reagan presidency.

You have had the better of the argument but you are hurting your position (and mine) by attacking Sessions. Ordinarily, I reflexively agree with fieldmarshaldj on most subjects other than Trump. I take very much at face value his intention to vote for Cruz and suspect that his respect for Trump is reflective of his very strong opinions on immigration. He is not alone in those views.

However, it is Trump that I would not trust and it is Trump that I regard as an unnecessarily rude and foul-mouthed self-promoting boor who is not fit to assume leadership of a conservative movement built and nurtured by Ronaldus Maximus and Bill Buckley.

I don't wish to discourage your active engagement in this debate but rather to keep the debate focused, as it should be, on Trump.

Again, if you claim that Jeff Sessions is a RINO, what is the evidence? What am I missing here?
