R as in reasonable

Many years ago the "R" in reasonable was not so far removed from the "R" in Republican, once the party of President (former general) Dwight D Eisenhower. Now the "R" is as in far Rightist, an anathma to Republicans like Dwight David Eisenhower.
I was born in 1933, and grew up in the Roosevelt era. Another "R", and a reasonable man deticated to finding solutions to the great problems of the time. The reasonable "R" in the arena of politics seems to have gone away, Maybe forever.
The "R" on the political scene now is the Rick from Texass. A Republican, but not reasonable.
