I think on the Rino-scale, if you grade Liz Cheney as a ‘9’, then Elise Stefanik is probably a ‘4’. This is probably one of the problems for about quarter of all Republicans in the House...you have a District designed in a way that only a moderate-or-ultra-moderate Republican can win.
On Cheny’s behalf....she only reached her position because of her husband’s status. She was probably a complete Democrat, and no one ever said a word about that (even her husband).
Depends on how you define RINO I guess. I would say that voting record is a good indicator. Based on that alone then Cheney is the four and Stefanik is a nine. Stefanik may talk the talk when it comes to Trump, but she doesn't walk the walk when it comes to conservative legislation.
This is not the time to placate moderates. Cheney has to go, that is beyond dispute. Replace her with a hard-core, rock-ribbed, conservative woman and not a squish.
“”she only reached her position because of her husband’s status””
Curious - What is her husband’s status?
