A RINO (Republican in Name Only) is a person, typically an officeholder or candidate for office, who is serving or running as a member of the Republican Party but holds views that are liberal or otherwise not conservative.[1] A similar term is cafeteria conservative, for a person who picks and chooses which conservative principles to believe, as a person might choose foods in a cafeteria.[2]
