No, many of you do it based on party, and party alone. Last fall you said on this board that you could never vote for Trump, but once he won the nomination you said you would support him because he was the Republican candidate. He's the same man you claimed you couldn't support before he was the nominee. What changed? Other than he's on the top of the Republican ticket, that is?
Party before country, even if that means Donald Trump, right?
Search and replace Trump , Republican and replace with Hillary, Democrat and add Sanders.
There are a lot of good conservatives who are not RINO'S. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, Tray Gowdy (just to name a few).

He calls himself a Republican, but most of his own party hates him. No one will campaign with him. Politicians who are seeking reelection are running away from him as fast as they can.
Until recently, Donald Trump wasn't a politician seeking political office. He was a businessman.
Reagan was once a Democrat, too. So was Thomas Sowell. David Horowitz was once a radical Leftist Communist, and even Charles Krauthammer was once a Democrat to the Left of center (according to him).
What's interesting is that Democrats often become conservative Republicans. I can't think of one instance where someone switched from conservative Republican to become a Left-wing Democrat. Life doesn't seem to work that way. When we become enlightened to Truth, we don't want to return to darkness.

Trump is the ultimate RINO. It's hilarious to watch his cult members label every other Republican, many of whom have worked with and for the party for years, a RINO, and not see how well Trump fits that label himself.
It's not that we don't understand that Trump is not as conservative as we would like, but we realize that Hillary is not only incompetent, she is a socialist who is about as far left as one can get, coddles and takes money from foreign countries who's record on the treatment of women is dismal, all the while claiming she is the mantle carrier for "women's rights," is a Muslim sympathizer who continues to make the claim that Islam is a peaceful religion, while her closest consigliere has family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, and she invites a Muslim Brotherhood operative to speak at her convention to show how "inclusive" she is (Great. Why not invite Kim Jong Un to speak?) and for the express purpose, apparently, of insulting Donald Trump because he has never "sacrificed," yet he would insult a Muslim who has (Mr. Khan's son). But Trump never insulted his son. He stands with those who serve. Yet Obama, along with Hillary, have put our troops in more danger, with "rules of engagement" that are favorable to the enemy. It's likely that Mr. Khan's son might still be alive otherwise.
Further, Hillary Clinton has no plan to defeat ISIS, but will continue whatever strategy you call it (if there is any strategy) that is Obama's strategy, including bringing in many, many more Syrian "refugees" who are currently terrorizing Europe. They are a grave threat, and we are already seeing the folly of this program, as people are afraid to go out in their own neighborhoods, because they are being harassed and threatened by foreigners who have been "resettled" in their towns.

Anybody but Clinton vs Anybody but Trump; that is what this election is going to be all about. No matter how lousy people may think the candidate of their party is, they still will vote for them because of how bad the other candidate is perceived to be.
Trump's building his Excuse Binder. The GOP in forcing him to speak in sentences and not just string guttural sounds together so he can communicate with his followers. Yep the "RIG" is in!

Answer: Elizabeth Warren. The current liberal icon started life as a conservative who voted Republican because of the party’s pro-business stance, and she didn’t switch to the Democratic Party until the mid-1990s.
But you're right there are far more Democrats who switched to the Republican party than Republicans who became democrats.
