- Matt Gaetz cut the Zelensky regime off. He's my pick for Conservative of the Year if it weren't an election year and we weren't looking for a VP choice. Jim Jordan, MTG, and Massie also I'd take umbrage about their nominations. Enough McCarthy bashing. He's dead meat and nobody cares. Nikki I'd move up to near the top. And where's Mitt Romney? He deserves a RINO lifetime achievement award. Also, I agree with all your foreign nominees. Just wikify and post em up. RobSZelensky didn't kill himself 00:00, January 7, 2024 (EST)
- Will wikify. On another note:
- I don't care if Gaetz cut Zelensky off. The fact that he was so vocal against McCarthy only to advocate DeSantis supporters and NeverTrumpers as acceptable alternatives speaks many volumes about his true allegiance. He wants to be the next governor of Florida, so he's appeasing DeSantis hoping that will earn him an endorsement. This is unacceptable. He is dead to me.
- Jordan and MTG played major roles in both McCarthy rising to the Speakership and his passage of RINO initiatives. Neither have expressed any remorse, and MTG continues to trash McCarthy opponents and falsely smear them as NeverTrumpers even after McCarthy's ouster. They are dead to me too.
- Massie is a different story. I nominated him for both Conservative of the Year and RINO of the year, because he had both very good moments and very bad moments. He's... an enigma to say the least.
- The only reason I didn't nominate Kevin McCarthy himself is because he was already nominated. But he did a lot of damage in 2023. Not only does he deserve to be a nominee, he may well deserve to win RINO of the Year.
- Romney was already nominated when I wrote down my choices, hence why I left him out.--Geopolitician (talk) 14:05, January 7, 2024 (EST)
- By that reasoning, you might as well nominate the whole GOP caucus cause they all voted for McCarthy in January 2021 and January 2023. RobSZelensky didn't kill himself 14:11, January 7, 2024 (EST)
- Will wikify. On another note:
- DeSantis too may not be deserving of being a called a RINO. RobSZelensky didn't kill himself 00:10, January 7, 2024 (EST)
- Ron DeSantis has waged an incredibly dishonest presidential campaign. Worse than Ted Cruz. He absolutely deserves to be nominated, and he's my personal choice for RINO of the Year.--Geopolitician (talk) 14:05, January 7, 2024 (EST)
- Hey, if you were a billionaire oligarch, it's what you hire and pay a guy to do. RobSZelensky didn't kill himself 14:12, January 7, 2024 (EST)
Lindsey Graham RINO of the Year
I think Lindsey Graham should be RINO of the Year 2023.--TheNewRight (talk) 11:21, January 15, 2024 (EST)
