Welcome, NOOB.
This "party first," firmly entrenched in the political psyche is the handiwork of The First rapist and his wife. Since then, it has induced the ghastly assertion by Fox's blonde bimbo and her co-conspirators into asking, shamelessly and with total ignorance, "will you support whichever candidate the GOPe promotes?"
Who was the ONLY candidate to confirm that "Americans First" trumps the parties of graft, cronyism and "control?"
Restore the Constitutional Republic!
Now there's an idea and a slogan I can get firmly behind.
RESTORE THE REPUBLIC!
The government of THE PEOPLE.
A fundamental change politically which is the antipode of the clearly failed disaster of the last 8 years BY ALL PARTIES. The GOPe SHOULD be in panic mode.
I never said loyalty should be to the party first. It shouldn't be. I'm simply saying that applying the RINO label here as a pejorative is ridiculous. If you think the problem is the party itself, then the problem isn't that they're "Republicans In Name Only" -- the problem would be that they're Republicans. Come up with a different label if you'd like, but that one just doesn't fit.
It's an especially odd pejorative to use in defense of Trump, who probably is the closest thing to an actual "RINO" in the primary.
And posting words in all capital letters doesn't make your point any better, old-timer.
