:::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 RINO's "party base" is thin. Again, its more a reflection of the district constituent base than the ideology of the office holder.

::::The GOP base is regular voters who are solid conservative Republicans -- the ones who consistently vote GOP -- and RINOs are still significantly more liberal than that base. The fact that RINOs have a different base than conservative Republican elected officials illustrates this, and they have different bases because of their ideologies. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:51, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

::::::That's the thing - it was laid bare after Boehner's resignation, played out during Ryan's tenure and 2016 primaries, and playing out again. There is no national Republican party "base" ideology - other than opposition to single-party Democratic and civil service control.
