Is RINO somebody that has an (R) behind their name, but doesn’t meet your 20 item checklist of what it means to be “Conservative”?
I do not know what I have said to make you claim that I have 20 items on my checklist.
The list is much shorter. My candidate can disagree with me about many issues, but I demand a candidate who demonstrates a belief in and a willingness to defend or uphold:
1) the Bill of Rights
2) the sovereignty of the USA
My point #2, of necessity eliminates from consideration any candidate who supports amnesty for illegal aliens and/or any candidate who does not have a plan to secure our borders.
