Define "actual Republican." 

Similar to "Real Americans".

Ones like Rob Portman, or Lisa Murkowski, even Mitt Romney to some degree. Others like old ones Chuch Hagel, McCain, Dick Lugar, John Warner. Ones that aren't just blinded by partisanship or just slum up to Trump now ie. half the Senate Republicans...Cruz, Cotton, Hawley...

Has he ever "had it"? Not a troll, has he ever been considered one of the elite minds around D.C.? Seems like part of whatever appeal he has is being extremely average.

Fair point. He has always been a gaffe machine and had problems speaking. 

But, going by the statement on here, Biden can't even put together a sentence and is in deaths door.

I'm good with your definition as long as you consider the "real Democrats" to be Manchin and Sinema, etc.

Manchin sure, he has been consistent. Sinema is all over the place over the years.

One can be a subset of the other.

Give me Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Cynthia Lummis. Everyone else, especially the names in your list, can go play in traffic.

The commonality is their willingness to not vote the party line. Very rare on both sides anymore.

On here, with you, yeah, that makes sense.

I have more respect for that group than say Cruz, Hawley, Cotton, Blackburn, Braun, etc. 

Cruz is an absolute loser and the worst IMO. I wish he’d fall off the planet.

This.   So, we have established that "real republicans" according to Ptown are RINOS. 

Mike Lee is solid and yet the same state elects Willard.

Difference of opinions and definitions. 

You say RINOS and I say classic old school Republicans.

Look at us. We elected Portman and Brown. Two completely different Senators. 

Then again, I'm one to think Ohio should usually have Senators of the opposing party as the state has usually been a mixture and bellweather.

You mean lizard people...

The 17th Amendment should be abolished, first of all. "WE" shouldn't be electing Senators.
