“but Trump is far more Liberal than even all the RINOs in the race.”
One big difference. He has never held elective off and whatever views he had before he became a republican didn’t affect the welfare of this country. The elected RINOs voted with Obama every time their elbowed bent and have cowered down to him like a dog in heat.
Actually, most of the elected RINOs have probably voted against Obama 90% of the time. It is the 10% that makes them RINOs.
I would argue that it is much easier for a non-politician to maintain an idealogically pure record as elected officials are often pressured to give in for political reasons. Trump did not make all those Left Wing comments over all the years to try to get elected, so I have to assume he believed what he said, or has no real beliefs and just loves to pontificate.
