Adder'd lump them under the term "racist." Seems unfair to do that to the old guard. I recall a time when moderate Ds and moderate Rs weren't all that unlike. I'd never label of those moderate Ds a "socialist" or some other excessive descriptive. In that same spirit, I'd never call an old establishment R a "racist." It's a bit too much.

Before we go making a saint out of establishment Republicans, let's remember that establishment Republicans like George H.W. Bush, Lee Atwater and Roger Ailes trucked in their share of racism to win the Presidency.
