The ALLEGED split in the GOP

[IlarMeilyr]

The Republican Party is split between the batshit crazy part of the party ( known as Trump voters) and regular Republicans

That 30% of the party demands strict compliance with conservative doctrine, no tax increases, no funding of social programs and no compromise.

While not strong enough to actually win national elections, they are strong enough to tie up the party and force unsinkable conservative positions

^ More bleating crap. And simply wrong.

There is a whole group of Republicans who barely give a shit about what (if anything) the Party stands for.

But there is a large base that is very concerned with the matters of LIMITED CONSTITUTIONAL Government.

Those who DON'T care about the actual purposes of the Constitution but who simply shuffle along accepting whatever crap the PARTY is willing to dispense are kind of clutter.

The percentages are NOT actually known, despite your willingness to make numbers up out of thin air.

Those Republicans who claim to care about constitutional government know very little outside the second amendment and states rights

^ another in a long litany of utterly baseless and mindless left wing nut-bar claims. But thanks for sharing your partisan drivel. It may be worthless and boring, but ... that's it.

Its your ridiculous thread

You start out with a baseless claim that there is no split and then ignore any evidence showing there is

Damn you tend to be an asshole when you choose to be dishonest or addled.

I did not (in my OP) say that there was no split in the GOP. Indeed, you bombastic asshat, I noted the differences between various components.

This doesn't get you out of the complete drivel bullshit pablum puke you posted.

*** who decides who's a RINO?

The same ones who decide who isn't.

If you prattle-on like a fucking Sander's butt boy or an Obama salad tosser, while claiming to be a "Republican," then anybody can decide (correctly) that you are nothing but a RINO.

I would say Boner/Ryan could be RINO. One of them put forward bill to remove spending cap? now $800Bil increase to DEBT in four months. U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time now $18.9T.

This on pace to end up $2.4T deficit for 2016 (ANOTHER RECORD under BHO/RINO)
nobody seems to care?

OF COURSE there is such a thing as a RINO, you imbecile.

Republicanism isn't an ideology, it's a Party where certain ideologies can call home. But it is not limited to Conservatism. It also includes the Socially Religious, the Defense Hawks, and the Wall Street/Fiscal. Those three may not care that much about the Conservative principle of small government. The Defense Hawk might not care about abortion. The Socially Religious may not care about tax cuts.

So, really, the phrase RINO is wrong. It should be CINO.

I think it's split a lot more ways than that!

That would be true IF (and ONLY IF) the term "Republican" had no inherent meaning.

Perhaps it doesn't.

Like "Democrat." When that Party's potential standard bearer (i.e., Shrillary) cannot articulate the distinctions between a Democrat and a Socialist, maybe neither Party has any inherent meaning.

On the other hand, to whatever extent that the Republican Party is supposed to stand for something other than whatever it is that defines "Democrat," then you are obviously and facially wrong.
