Big Texan RINO Is Emblematic of GOP’s Problem

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Despite positive momentum in primaries this year, America First, populist, and nationalist factions will be contending with more RINOs following the November midterm elections.

Republicans in name only, or RINOs, have been in office for decades. But what exactly constitutes a RINO? Simply put, they are the controlled opposition. There may be no better case study than that of Texas State Representative Stephanie Klick. Grassroots conservatives must learn to identify any Klick-type politician in their area.

Some say the term RINO is overused or too broad, but it is neither. RINOs come in various forms while still fitting a distinct profile.

President Donald Trump doesn’t shy away from attaching the label to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the late Secretary of State Colin Powell, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and current governors Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Doug Ducey of Arizona, and Brian Kemp of Georgia.

The fact is RINOs hold office in every state and at every level of government—including the highest levels of the federal government.

Here the focus will be on the representative for Texas’s 91st State House district, Stephanie Klick. Her example is especially relevant in this midterm election year, when Republicans are widely anticipated to win seats in a red wave at the state and federal levels.

Klick checks all three of the boxes in the list of fundamental flaws that make a Republican a RINO. First, she is disconnected from normal, conservative, Christian workers who are her core constituency. Second, she has no political sense of a friend/enemy distinction. Third, she’s willing to do what’s politically expedient, at the expense of her constituency.

We already have RINO Cornyn as our US Senator. We do not need any more of them to come aboard.

Good article, Klick targeted.

First, she is disconnected from normal, conservative, Christian workers who are her core constituency.

I STRONGLY disagree with that colossal brain fart. Besides people like me who are agnostics or  atheists who are conservatives,there are also a lot of Jewish conservatives as well as conservatives who follow faiths other than the Christian faith.

Diehard Christian conservatives may even be a minority in the Republican Party.

Playing the isolationist card does no one any good except for the Dims. Make people feel unwelcome,and they will look for another party to join.

And "Yes,I DO expect to get flamed for writing this."
