And, I never said that any Republican doesn’t belong here.

Your mistake was to use RINO ELITIST ~ not that such critters can't exist, but they aren't relevant in what is going on today.

You recall that I have a minor campaign to make sure RINO is correctly used, so if someone was NEVER a Democrat, or never a member of a minor party (NY Conservative party, American Independent, Independence, Communist, etc.) they can't ever have been anything other than a Republican.

At the same time they might well be Leftists, or Rightists.

We have more than enough words to cover Leftists. We are short on words to cover Rightists (and this is all in the European sense since we don't really have that sort of political variation in American politics). We do not now nor have we ever had a serious ROYALIST faction! ~ for example ~
