I hope it will be the first conservative nominee since 1984. Hopefully republicans' memories extend back to 2008, when we saw what happened with a RINO ticket leader. Besides the lib media's bald-faced cheerleading for the leftwinger in that election, they also very successfully influenced the republican nominee: before the conventions, they endlessly shilled for John McCain, knowing that if he won the nomination, the worst they would do from their perspective is have another RINO president. Of course AFTER the nominations, they turned on McCain viciously. I would hope that republicans have learned and remember this, and also all the problems created by the 2000-2008 mega-RINO era, but experience has taught me to not expect much from the electorate.
