::It's based on political positions, not party offices. It's well known that GOP leaders are far more liberal than the party base (and the same is true with the UK Tories, where most MPs voted "remain" while the party base voted "leave"). --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 15:30, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

:::Technically, I disagree on what you call a "party base". RINOs are dependent upon crossover votes, making a "constituent base" different from other elected members. A RINOs "party base" is thin.
