Reagan won over a lot of Democrats. And that was after Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson. Republicans were afraid they would be the minority party forever, so they changed their tactics and they're still at it. Apparently all that "bashing" worked for them and FDR Democrats started to disappear.

My daughter worked at an exclusive country club some years back and one customer she knew well told her that being a business owner, he probably should vote republican. I think she set him straight, but who knows. Greed can have a blinding effect.

And yes, vulnerable people often tend to want to be on the side of the winners (in this case the bashers). It doesn't usually work out well for them, though I'm not sure they can see that.
