He claimed to be, then got shot and took the money. Anyone at the top of the republican side is a RINO. They won't let anyone with a backbone get too much power and start causing them problems. The RINOs like to yell, send strongly worded letters, and fund raise from a position of weakness. They hate actually having power to change anything because we the people actually expect them to do what they said they would.

The way the rules and committees are setup, it's all about controlling the members and keeping them in line. If you want to feel important with your committee spot, then you better do what they want. Getting rid of these committees that control what actually gets to the floor for votes would be a great step.

Just remember, the people that you refer to Republicans with a backbone (Gaetz, Boebert) are equivalent to our far left liberals (AOC, Omar).    Are these the people you really want to lead our country?  At least on the Dem side, they're wise enough to work together in reasonable unity whereas the GOP can't seem to unify on any topics.  How the heck can the GOP lead and unify our country if they can't even lead and unify themselves?
