I should write a book about the biggest RINOs in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. RINOs focus on destroying those who do not hate Trump and those who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.
