“Here’s the problem: We both agree on the threat the Democrats are to this country as it exists today, but you still don’t seem to want to prevent it as much one would expect...given what you just agreed with.”

Maybe you don’t understand what “RINO” means.

A Republican “in name only” is just a Democrat calling himself a “Republican”.

Having Democrats in Congress calling themselves “Republican” may give the appearance that Republicans hold a majority, but that majority is an illusion, and does NOTHING to prevent Democrats from destroying the country.

In fact, the deception makes it that much easier for the Democrats to sell their lies - by making legislation appear “bipartisan” when it’s not - and by confusing voters regarding what their elected representatives really stand for.

“A Republican “in name only” is just a Democrat calling himself a “Republican”.”

I guess you DO NOT understand then. There is now a bill in the Senate to ensure that Republicans NEVER can win another election. The bill has 49 votes for (all Democrats) and 50 votes against (every Republican). Manchin wants a more narrow bill.

So, to me, and probably everyone else reading this, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between the parties on this bill, at least, even between RINOs and Democrats, since EVERY RINO is opposing this bill.

If what you say were true (that there’s no difference), then why don’t at least some of those RINOs support this reform? This is also happening on a number of other major bills (RINOs siding with conservatives, but not Democrats siding with us). And this happened many, many, times with judges when Trump was president.

If not a difference between RINOs and Democrats, then why are the RINOs siding with Cruz on this, when none of the Democrats are???
