The reality is, in this day and age, I'm not sure there is an entity
that one might describe as a "moderate" Republican. There are a few
elected Republican officials in the U.S. House and Senate who are less
right-wing than most of their Republican colleagues, but I wouldn't
describe them as "moderate." They're just a tad less "way out there"
than their colleagues.

Don't really consider myself to be a republican, or a democrat for
that matter. I agree with the republicans on some issues, disagree on
others, same with democrats to a certain extent, and the same with
Trump. Certainly Trump has major issues with personality, character
and style but that's not sufficient reason to oppose everything he
supports.

I'm right there with you. It would be nice if we could take some things from the Republican platform and some from the Democrats and blend it together into single, cohesive message. With politics in DC being so contentious on both sides, it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon. The art of compromise seems to be lost. And the media is right in the middle of it stirring things up to ensure nothing gets done.
