I find it interesting that we bitch to no end about how the left divides the nation along identity lines but we absolutely devour our own if a strict line isn't followed.
The GOP would never win another election if it weren't for the votes of so called "Rinos" but daily we condemn them. To make matters worse yet someone who has never voted for a Democrat can be labeled a Rino simply for disagreeing with any given position. Or worse yet be labeled the infamous establishment or libtard.

Why craft such a narrow view when you must spread a wide net to win ANY national election.

I have a newfound respect for you.
 
The most idiotic thing about what's going on in the Republican Party is this movement to get rid of "RINOs."

It's like they want to make the party less appealing to more people.

It's a weird strategy.

Corporations spend billions of dollars to try to make their product more appealing to a wider group of people. But this narrow-minded group in the GOP thinks that the way to electoral success is to make themselves less appealing to a wider group of people.

I'm guessing none of these people work in marketing.

It really is tough to figure. They're painting themselves into a corner, yet still believe they'll attract enough votes to win.

Anyone who wants to cast a wide net is a RINO (or worse) and completely unacceptable, yet what remains is only attractive to "the base".

Inexplicable.

Wait, what am I saying?

It's 4pm here.......

The fight between the conservative and liberal (or moderate or establishment or Rino) has been going on for as long as it's been since the radical left hijacked the democrat party. Who would have thought that the party of JFK "ask not what your Country can do for you" would have a socialist Marxist in the running for the nomination? You don't notice identity politics in the democrat party because the commie liberal media does everything in it's power to make sure you don't notice the democrat party's drift off the freaking charts. Get used to the fight between conservatives and the establishment and if the shoe fits, quit whining about being called a Rino.

To my knowledge I've never been called a Rino. To be honest it wouldn't matter anyhow as this board is for pleasure & nothing more.
