Is the Schmittian friend-enemy tension where the RINO's exist ?

From the perspective of middle American populism, RINOs are Schmittian enemies trying to pass themselves off as Schmittian friends.

(Though, of course, until recently, RINOs weren't RINOs, they were accurate manifestations of the GOP. Now that the populists seem to be having success in capturing the party, the managerial class ruler types within the GOP are indeed becoming Republican in name only.)

Hmm. Subscribers from here have emailed me, so it can be done. Off hand, I don't know how. I can have a look when I have a chance. Probably not for a couple of days.
