I’ll concur that NRO has some RINOish leanings among some of their writers. But would you throw Mark Steyn in that group?

My point is, Trump has used the jack boot of government to help his crony capitalist ends just like GE and GM and others do. Truth is truth, and it doesn’t matter whether NRO is among the many outlets that publicize it or not.

And what’s hilarious is that folks who are pro-Trump go around grousing about “RINO’s.” Trump’s only disqualification for Prez is that he is King Daddy RINO of all RINO’s.

I firmly believe that the shorter a period of time folks have been involved in politics, the more they misuse the word RINO.

While I support Palin, my point is that Romney is worse than Trump. Romney has used the jack boot of government to implement a health care scheme where millions of people became a victim. Trump’s actions affected how many again? And Romney is a willing socialist who is completely blind to the damage he has caused. Which is worse? The health care scheme is far worse. At least Trump will admit that his actions affected various individuals ( a few, how many?) and he freely discusses the actions he took rationally with interviewers. Romney never enters the rational discussion with anyone.

Mark Steyn and Mark Levin are contributors to NRO, who are not to be grouped with the others.

I do not misuse the word RINO as you have implied. Rush and Levin have both noted how the National Review has gone downhill since the days of William Buckley. The content in the National Review at best provides a schizophrenic representation of conservativism.
