Decidedly have no love for the GOP, but he was a politician in a time where the GOP was immensely different from what it is today, and the focus of the party was not overt bigotry and absolutism. Iirc, he was also talked about as a bit of a black sheep during the Bush Jr.-era GOP politics, but I might be misremembering things based on my own impressions from that time.

The GOP in 2016. "We can't have Hillary as President. The world will laugh at us!"

The GOP in 2016. "Who cares what anyone thinks of us?? USA! USA!! USA!!!"
