      I don' think the kids today will be able to understand this, but as recently as 2008 Rudy Giuliani was the great hope of moderate Republicans -- the avatar of a modern GOP that was at ease with mainstream culture.

      This @jbouie piece has stuck with me for nearly five years, still holds up imohttps://slate.com/news-and-politics/2015/11/donald-trump-is-a-moderate-republican-thats-why-hes-winning.html …

      still, as Paul said, a piece that holds up. Trump's consolidation of the GOP leaners who aren't movement conservatives remains under-appreciated.

          The means of consolidation were bullying or bribing into submission, which exposed the GOP as spineless or exploitable through greed

          True. He's drawn in racists from all points on the conservative spectrum.

          Maybe so, but those people are not 'moderate'. So I don't think they were part of any 'missing middle' or 'silent majority' that was up for grabs in this election.

          this is what i mean, the piece doesn’t say anything about “moderates” or “moderation!”

          That doesn't make them "moderate Republicans" in the old school sense, like George Romney or John Heinz or Richard Thornburgh.

          The word "moderate" in the headline misrepresents the article, like its author just said.
