No- words have meaning. You can argue that perhaps CINO would be a more accurate term (I think that there are arguments for and against that), but the term RINO means what it has always meant - a Republican who holds to or votes for leftist policies instead of conservative ones.
A RINO (Republican in Name Only) is an officeholder or candidate who is a member of the Republican Party, but holds views to the political left of most Republican voters, or simply does whatever the
liberal media wants. The term "RINO" describes politicians who claim to be
Republican but are in fact
liberal or puppets of the liberal media, and therefore generally debase the winning conservative coalition base of the Republican Party.
RINOs are often Republican only to the extent it serves their own interests, and will abandon conservative principles as soon as it is in their own interests to do so. RINOs often provide support for raising taxes, abortion as a right, gay rights and gun control. Some RINOs have connections with Planned Parenthood or corporations that support goals of population control; other RINOs pay lip service to pro-life values while in practice not advancing those values....
RINOs, like Democrats, typically come from states in
New England, the Mid-Atlantic; or states on the
Left Coast. A less-used 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 instead of ordering the full-course
menu selected by the chef at most restaurants.[SUP]
[2][/SUP] In contrast to RINO's and cafeteria conservatives,
movement conservatives understand that since conservative philosophy is a coherent whole, it is untenable to discard part of it without discarding all of it....
The RINO in this race is Donald Trump :shrug:
