Isn’t it a CINO - Conservative In Name Only
Well, yes but the liberal media always holds them up as conservatives. Akin to them calling Black conservatives, token Republicans, as they always label them. 🙂
CINO is more accurate than RINO. The Republican Party has long had wishy-washy members/candidates/office holders. A lot of those may have been pretty solid on the economic issues but they often had liberal social agenda views. (Some were probably closet Dims who knew a Dim couldn’t be elected in their district and so they ran as Republicans.)
Others didn’t even care about the growth of the federal behemoth. These were the “centrists,” cross-the-aisle types. We can all name a bunch of them. They are not conservatives, broadly speaking. Their goal is not to make the government smaller and foster more freedom. It’s to be reelected and go along to get along. To the extent they claim to be conservatives, they are Conservatives In Name Only.
Yes, it is.
