Trump has to deal with the Republican Party “as it is,” not what conservative ideologues “wish it was.”
The most conservative thing today would be to shrink the Federal Budget. You know limit government.
However, Trump didn’t run on cutting government & causing deflationary pain for many Americans.
Unlike the phonies in Washington DC(Republicans in Congress) who have been their for decades, with their immaculate conservative voting records, but never have enough power to cut federal outlays. Its always out of their reach.
So we make up the term “Republican In Name Only” to make us feel good & superior to the corrupt politicians who aren’t purists.
RINO is the misnomer, the party never has been a conservative party,going all the way back to its creation in 1854.
.
They’re conservative 3 months before every election!
They love Guns, Flags, and Hate all that Spending until they win again, and then you can’t recognize ‘em.

***Which is why we need to break up the GOP just like the Whigs got broken up, and start the Social Conservative Party. There are far more Socons than GOPeRINOs in America.
My old tagline:
SURFRINAGWIASS : Shut Up RINOs. Free Republic is not a GOP Website. It’s a SOCON Site.
The most conservative thing today would be to shrink the Federal Budget.
***I start out on issues by counting how many millions of dead persons are associated with that problem. WW2? 150million dead around the world mostly civilians, a couple million of Americans, very few civilians. AIDS? A few hundred thousand dead, mostly homosexuals and promiscuous but we’ve overspent many $Billions on it due to the political weight of those jerks. Abortion? 60 MILLION dead. Bloated federal budget? Maybe a few hundred thousand dead. SOCON issues are far more important than the ones pointed to by RINOs.
