The definition is easy " R Republican I in N name O only"

The State Central Committee may determine the political affiliation of candidates.

That would leave Rudy out.

Course I live in a Republican state.

That doesn't leave Rudy out; though you did manage to type in the correct meaning of the term. OTOH, no state committee can remove the R from the GOP's presidential candidate. Ergo, that leaves your implication high and dry; not to mention invalid.

NEXT? :-)
