You can call them RINO's all you want, but in the end the Republicans choose those so called "RINO's" to run. Your response is what Republicans say when they are embarrased what they have done.
Yeah the whole sentiment around dem vs repub is ridiculously confining. A republican voter (who is this forum's biggest gun nut) recently questioned how i can lean conservative for not wanting to train 8 year olds to use automatic weapons. This poster supports SSM. I'm like....wait a minute. Someone could dare to question his credentials as a conservative for that.
What does is it say about our inflexible thinking that we leave no room for nuance and it's a strict dichotomy of "republicans favor XYZ, dems favor ABC"? It's just being conformist as hell and playing right into the hands of the politicians, who want things kept nice and simple when it comes time to convince their base to show up on election day.
