What type of US Senators were Byrd and Rockefeller? [View all]

Were they right of center or left of center Democratic US Senators of WV?
Byrd and Rockefeller probably would have gotten re-elected in 2012,2014,and 2020. Byrd would be death before the 2018 election. Byrd and Rockefeller did not have to behave like Republicans in order to get re-elected.
