Uncomfortable with the label of “RINO” or “liberal,” they have previously described themselves as “moderates.” But the rise of the grassroots during the Obama administration made them shrug off the term, “moderate,” and members are now calling themselves “centrists.” Clearly, however, they are more liberal than conservative, and are proud of being so.
