:''Not to be confused with the [[Liberal Republican Party]], a short-lived U.S. political party in the 1870s
A '''liberal Republican''', also known as a '''Rockefeller Republican''', is a [[RINO]] that holds an overall moderate to [[liberal]] voting record, almost always crossing over their party line on social issues and, occasionally, on fiscal matters. Liberal Republicans tend to strongly oppose [[Donald Trump]], often favoring hawkish [[neoconservative]] foreign policies and the D.C. [[establishment]]. Common examples include [[Susan Collins]] and [[Lisa Murkowski]], who known as RINOs currently serving in the [[United States Senate]].
The term “Rockefeller Republican” was coined largely out of the [[liberal]] views of [[Nelson Rockefeller]], the vice president of the [[United States]] under [[Gerald Ford]]'s presidency.
