Yes, it is.
I think Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace (both who bad-mouthed Palin during that campaign and after) should change from R to D. IMHO they aren’t even RINOs, just bitter, think they know it all jerks. But, like a few others, the MSM can have them on as a “Republican Strategist”, or whatever they’re calling them these days.
Add to tht list Amanda Capenter.
