RINO's will never stand up for the people against the elites.
RINOs are of the same elitist ilk as the leftist elitists.
Let’s make sure we distinguish between “elite” and “elitist”, though. There are elites that DON’T believe they have the right and duty to make decisions for everyone else. Thomas Jefferson was just such a person. There are some modern conservative elites of the same mindset.
