RINOs or a new paradigm shift?
Political parties are defined by the majority of people who self-identify as such. The late John McCain, Mitt Romney, and several others have become what we could call RINOs, but what does that mean? Is it possible that the Republican party that we all have grown up with no longer exists?
I think that the Republican party, perhaps in the spirit of compromise, has shifted too far to the left. Pure conservatism, being the truth, is not affected by the political process. Donald Trump is of course with us, but what do we call the representatives in Congress (other than fools)?
