As I posted a week or so ago:
This is an old tactic; the Democrats use it in every election. It goes back at least to this classic TV ad in 1964.
Every four years you can go online and see lots of "I am a lifelong Republican, but now that ________ is the nominee I can no longer in good conscience stay in the party" posts
Aside from the "Democrats for Nixon" campaign in 1972, the Republicans have never really used it. I was kind of shocked when it wasn't used against Obama, but I guess as usual they were terrified of being called racist.

That guy is a douchebag reaching across the decades. He looks just like one of them today.
LBJ worked out just great - I am sure all the "lifelong Republicans" were just thrilled to have contributed to getting 50,000 guys killed for nothing.

I love watching some of the old videos. Hilarious to see someone spark up a cig.
