The AZ RINOs are DemocRats,
> “The AZ RINOs are DemocRats”
There’s truth in that.
McCain’s organization on the ground in AZ is known to support bringing democrat crossovers into any primary where a Conservative challenger is running.
McCain’s tactics are very similar to those that Cochran pulled against McDaniel in Mississippi.
In effect, democrats in AZ want to see McCain in office over any Conservative challenger and McCain doesn’t mind representing their interests.
So yes, he’s very much a RINO. He would not be Senator if weren’t for democrats ensuring he gets the GOP nomination.
