May I gently suggest we stop calling them RINOs?
The only reason two parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
How’s about we call them what they really are: Deep Staters.
Deplorables, racists, white supremacists, fascists, science deniers, “smelly Walmart people” and now lepers. All those insults, but not a single cogent policy arguent.
Well, they are rinos but if it makes you feel better, you can call them c#*k s*ckers or deep staters or what ever lights your fire.
But why?
These other dopes aren't RINOs. They're Republicans.
Go back and reread the second sentence in my above reply.
Let it sink in.
Isn't Lin Wood a registered Democrat? LOL.
In any case, the guy is a loose cannon who has no business anywhere near a political leadership post. I'd honestly prefer Mitt Romney to that guy. At least Romney's a predictable @sshole.
Post 6:

Emphasis on “the illusion of choice.”
They are ALL Deep State.
The letter after the name means jack anymore more.
I’m a registered Dem.
My party affiliation means bugger all to me.
What I am can best be espoused by Trump’s four letter acronym: MAGA.
That’s not a party. It’s a set of principles.
FWIW, my test is simple: If you’re not loyal to our former republic and making it great again, you’re Deep State.
And I don’t give a rat’s patootie what the letter after your name is.
Call them anything you want just never vote for them ever
Explains why Linda Graham holds on to power. Certainly the SCGOP has a recall procedure. If not, they need one ASAP.
He’s accurate. Everyone treats us like lepers
I would like to see a formal Conservative platform of perhaps 10 points. It shouldn’t be about a person — although I can’t think of an instance where Trump was wrong, I wouldn’t support a platform which explicitly says “Trump is always right”.
But we should establish principles: Taxes should never go up. Abortion is always wrong. Elections must always be honest and audits must always be supported. Energy independence is good.
Something should be hammered out. And then, any politician who deviates at any point from the essential platform should be banned from financial help and should be shunned by other Conservatives. In fact, I’d see that as an essential part of a platform: “Conservatives do not support, campaign for, or help politicians who violate the platform.”
We need focus and discipline. The Republican Party is, in my opinion, mostly led by Democrats. We need to get them out so that the Republican Party can be occupied by Conservatives.
Not voting for them is the easy part.
Getting someone MAGA you’re happy to vote for past the Deep Staters controlling the party apparatus is the hard part.
As we’ve learned the hard way, eh?
The same is true of Nikki Haley, by the way. This explains why these are two of the biggest corporate globalists in U.S. politics today. Their whole agenda is to topple governments all over the world and install new ones that will buy Boeing aircraft for their government-run airlines to replace the Airbus fleets these airlines have used in the past.
It's really that simple.
Deep Staters is incorrect as well. What they really are is members of the Uniparty, which is built on the 17th Amendment.
Repeal the 17th Amendment and many of these types will no longer have a leg to stand on the the arena of public opinion, let alone have a party apparatus to guide and support them...
Heads up. South Carolina ping

Yea, it’s kind of like getting angry at Trump for endorsing Romney for Senate in the hypothetical case where it was either Romney or Murkowski running.
Not hard to understand why Trump did not endorse Lin Wood.
Wood was a loose canon and a border line fruit cake in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
