Wow that really got to him lol.

Should have done it a day before the debate just to really throw him off. Or maybe Dubya can do that, whooo that'd be a doozy. Are the Bush grandchildren in the GOP? Liz has already made her position clear, no issue there.

The silliest thing is that his MAGA followers will buy it. They'll happily claim that Dick Cheney, of all people, is a RINO.

As bad as he is/was, he isn't MAGA. I just see the RINO tag they continue to use as another projection, as they have long moved past any Republican issues or goals. Just make your own party, losers. There's even a couple of loser flags you can adopt, since you fly them anyway.

RINO is just a simple way to bag and tag and discredit any person that falls the tiniest little step out of line. It's a common fascist tactic and it's very easily beaten if you see what they're doing.

Ysk before the party switch (when the GOP were the left party), the term RINO was used for those deemed not progressive enough.
