I didn’t leave the Republican Party. I felt that the party left me.The interesting thing is that many of the current crop will say, Good riddance to a RINO.

Democrats are the new Republicans.
Unfortunately, nothing has taken the old Democrat's place.
This was Bill Clinton's (actually Dick Morris's) strategy. Pick up the Rockefeller Republicans and then the centrist Republicans as the Gingrich bloc moved way right of center. The Establishment (bipartisan) view is that the US is and ought to be a center-right country. So as the GOP has moved increasingly rightward, the Dems have picked up Republicans that their party left behind. That has resulted in a Democratic Party that is center-right and more GOP lite than FDR Democrat.
