I get a major RINO vibe from John James. He strikes me as someone who’s motivated by personal ambition much more than principle. Reminds me of Michael Steele, i.e. someone who’s willing to play the part of a conservative as long as there’s money in it for him. His racial grievance peddling makes me very wary of him.
