Although thankfully not a "professional politician", Donald Trump is much like a majority of them in that he has conservative positions on some issues and not on others. That is, although he's far from an ideal "conservative" candidate, I do not consider him to be a RINO because he is not duplicitous which is what makes RINOs so despicable.

Trump is what he is which is like most people who are not "pure" conservatives. I don't think he is pretending to be anything else which is why, although I hold strong conservative positions in most every respect -- I could vote for him. This is not the same as "the lesser of two evils" decision we have in most elections -- that is, voting for a communist/leftist (which is not an option) versus voting for a lying, dishonorable, duplicitous RINO who pretends to be something they're not in order to get elected.

So, although Trump is not the ideal candidate for conservatives, he's not a RINO by my reckoning.

The problem is that by the time we find out what Trump is it will be too late

If he is a good businessman, why did he invest in multi level marketing? ...In my book that means he is a shyster and I don’t care how many AMWAY adherents tell me its not so.
