===Bernie Sanders===
To be clear, [[Bernie Sanders]] is not a RINO as he is not even a Republican. It is worth noting that as a senator he is not formally a Democrat. He is registered as an independent. He still caucuses with the Democrats and is further to the left of the Democrat senators, but he is not officially one. He reliably votes with the Democrats and on policy is practically one which is why he would qualify as a DIAN.

By remaining Independent, Sanders forfeits any Seniority in the Senate Democrat Caucus and negotiates for a committee assignment with his vote for Senate Leader.
