1.) Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy---- no elective wars overseas (Iraq 2.0, Central America '80s, Vietnam/ Cambodia '68+).
2.) Support for US and Global Labor and Environmental Rights
3.) Opposition to unfair trade policies that promote a "race to the bottom", but still recognize a role that international trade has in terms of a "rising tide lifts...."
4.) Opposition to the Social Conservative Movement's attempts to roll-back the gains that the LGBTQ and Women's Movements have made over the past 50 Years.
5.) Support for a Progressive taxation policy, as opposed to a Regressive taxation policy, with the added revenue directly supporting programs that have been gutted over the past 40 years at Federal and State levels.... (There are a ton of such programs).
6.) 100% rejection of racism and xenophobia as an attempt to cynically exploit resentments against minority populations within the United States because of race, religion, ethnicity, and country of origin.
7.) Support for some type of Universal Health Care system that expands financial access leveraging existing Federal programs that both lower costs, and provide a high level of service.
These are just a few items on my wish list....
You're requesting a Democrat. You'll never find an actual Republican (someone like Badger doesn't count) who will give you all seven of those things. The more moderate Republicans typically are either a bit more libertarian (meaning 2,3,5, and 7 are out) or they're a bit more fiscally leftist (in which case one or both of 4 and 6 are out).
I'm sure there are regular Republicans like that even though the Jacob Javits wing is long gone from Republican politicians.
Jacob Javits did not represent a wing of the GOP, he was in his own league. He voted against the Taft Hartley Act which was supported by the Eastern Establishmentarians (Henry Cabot Lodge Jr, Irving Ives, Thomas Dewey, Clifford Case, etc.) and he was nominated by the New York Liberal Party multiple times, whilst Rockefeller was never nominated. Javits was only a Republican because he was born and raised in Democratic, Tammany Hall dominated NYC, where the local GOP was often coopted by liberals and even full on socialists (like Vito Marcantonio) as a means of opposing Tammany control (Generally by non-Irish groups like Italians, Jews and WASPs). Which is why when you had Fiorello La Guardia and John Lindsay running for mayor terms like "Independent government" and "Opposition to vicious political machines" were central to their campaigns. This environment in NYC was unique and not representative of the GOP's Eastern Establishment, who's "liberalness" is overstated.
