He was always a Republucan before. Same with Bill Kristol - always a Republican. I think they just don't like Trumpism

Only because he says the Trumpists have moved the republican party too far to the right. He calls himself an "exiled republican."

What?! He does?? The way he talked about every Democrat policy and president on the PBS Newshour Friday political discussion sure has/d me convinced he was a hard-core Reagan Republican this whole time!

He aims to give the Democratic party tailoring such that it fits his (still) Republican politics, along with Lincoln Project, MeidasTouch, The Bulwark, and others who also wish to continue destroying political parties in the U.S. with their mealy-mouthed 'moderation.'

The terms "moderate" and "centrist" are vacuous. They mean nothing. How can we tell when a policy is moderate? Are there any principles at work? Nope.

I guess I stopped paying attention to him years ago. But he has supported Republican policies and positions for most of his career, with the typical deceit. There is no shame in public life anymore. link.motherjones.com/public/30899...
