Most of the RINOs have been primaried, self-deported, or retired (and a few died).
There's always going to be RINOS in the BIG TENT; that's what comes with having free association. There's never going to be a 100% anything purity test.
There's a big difference between a RINO like MITTENS vs the crafty game of politics. Most Pedes aren't making this distinction.
And most Pedes, don't relax and realize half of DJT's tweet msgs are Trump and others (like Mitch) doing a WWF-tag team routine on the Dems (like good cop/bad cop). Realize the two largest lobbiest groups: the DoD lobbiests, and the Big Tech lobbiests just got creamed after getting milked. This was done by DJT and many of those whom are called RINOs on this DOM; because they don't know how the game is played in DC. DJT and republicans are absolutely destroying the swamp creatures on a level which is not obvious to most people.
So yes people like Romney, and a handful of other names are genuine RINOS. But 99% of Republicans are not RINOS. Particularly the REPUBLICANS whom are the ELECTORS.
Courage is strength in the face of fear, Courage is not the absence of fear.
It's not possible to make those lawmakers "fear" and do the right thing; because the Lefties will just make them fear more. But by giving those lawmakers and officials strength, and information; you can give them courage. By sharing strength with them, letting them know you'll hold the line, not abandon the trenches, it gives them courage to do the right thing.
Strength is not a LION logo. Like the movie The Wizard of OZ; the LION logo is the reverse, where people think they are projecting or adopting strength; but in reality, they are creating, adopting, and projecting the cowardly lion character who's looking for his courage.
A million Elephants showing up in DC is a thousand times more strength and power and wisdom and fun; than a million lions showing up in a capital or coliseum.
Not even remotely true. How many republicans at fed level are fighting dor Trump and calling out fraud?
I'm not trying to be flippant with this answer, but "politics" is far more complicated business than being a kids playground and seeing who's standing behind who in a playground fight. So sometimes there's "fake fights" like DJT/Mitch(and a few others) doing a WWF tag-team this last week playing good cop/bad cop to work over all the Dems and Lobbiests (the most powerful lobbies of DoD and Big Tech I might add).
The pork bill likely isn't going to matter, because Trump will veto it; and there's nothing Dems can do about it.
What Pedes are missing is much of this "noise" and half of Trump Tweets, is like head-fakes in basketball, or fake pitches to juke the runner on 1st base, or having part of your army troops feign retreat/weakness like the Battle of Cowpens, so then you can do a double-envelopment and win it all. DJT and Republicans are WINNING at every level; but people are too caught up on he said/she said gossip crap; to be paying attn to what's really going on.
Pedes have stress, I get that; in another 2 weeks it will be two years we've had our water cut off by the commies & corrupt; but I'm not going to let the commies and corrupt make me lose focus and get distracted or do infighting.
It's 2 weeks remaining the judiciary phase; and then joint-session of congress WHICH REQUIRES EVERY REPUBLICAN ON DECK!! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR TRYING TO SPLIT MEMBERS OUT OF THE PARTY OR 3rd PARTY CRAP.
I get where you're coming from. I do really. But realize, you don't really get to go to Washington without learning to play the game well. It's the Establishment who is like the Major Leagues; ya AAA and AA ball is fun to watch; but you're going to have to be cheering on the Major League Players if you're in the World Series because THAT is who's in the game. These Establishment Republicans ARE the ELECTORS. These Establishment Republicans ARE the ones who will be voting in the joint-session.
Genuinely, every time the winds of public opinion shift, reps like Mitch and Graham, change their position.
This is the nature of politics going back to written history. This is one reason why politicians are considered liars and untrustworthy as a profession. But it's like prostitutes changing their position whenever the winds of the public shift. Understand that that is how they play their game, but they are good at their game. No different than say Germans complaining that Sgt. York was too good a sharpshooter; they're there to do a job; and that job gets done in different ways. POLITICS IS A TEAM SPORT. And sometimes it helps to have a different costumes and players on the team. Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Trick Plays, etc.
We're a faction that republican leadership must consider...
I get that too; but history says otherwise. Just as with Reagan, or Nixon, or Goldwater, or ... you can go back including all the way back to Lincoln. It simply doesn't work that way as you're thinking. What happens instead is there's always the "slower establishment" and the more active/impatient "newer recruits"; and the truth is it comes down to LEADERSHIP and real nuts and bolts POLITICAL SKILLS (like fundraising, organizing meetings, reading through bills/law/legislation, answering the phones, mailing lists, responding to and recruiting people into the party, teaching history, etc.)
We have a MAJOR leadership gap, between the TOP and the BOTTOM. By we I mean Pedes. The DOM. DJT supporters. The Republican Party. America. What in the military might be the NCOs; or like cant run a military without sgts or master chiefs. This middle layer doesn't exist like here on the DOM(even back on spezdit), there's MODS at the top; and pedes on the bottom, but there's no Sgt or Lt. or Major or Captain. Same for the WH, etc. In the republican party, this middle layer of leadership is way too thin and way under-trained. And even worse; there's NO recruitment & training funnel. This problem has existed for 5 years now.
to every primary. We're a faction even the rinos must consider
Ideally the RINOs will be primaried, that's the proper and strategic place to do it. This requires people in those areas to get their leadership and campaign skills up; which importantly includes fundraising. This is months away at the soonest to start.
Most of the RINOs have been primaried, self-deported, or retired (and a few died).

You are so far off base.
How many Republicans voted against this insane pork bill? 2 dozen?
