Sorry, just curious. It seems some have no conception when they start fresh with labels that the idea of bi-partisan is not too far fetched.
Except of course when you get to Mrs. Clinton's commentary on the "Right - Wing Conspiracy " that has dogged her for about 15 years.

Yes! Nixon was the turning point. All great answers. The something new was do you have ?not that this is. My bad, that was unclear.

She wanted to help out Nixon in his 1968 campaign I believe.
Here is what I found out
"She attended the "Wellesley in Washington" summer program at the urging of Professor Alan Schechter, who assigned Rodham to intern at the House Republican Conference so she could better understand her switch to the Democratic Party.[17] Rodham was invited by Representative Charles Goodell, a moderate New York Republican, to help Governor Nelson Rockefeller’s late-entry campaign for the Republican nomination.[17] Rodham attended the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami, where she decided to leave the Republican Party for good; she was upset over how Richard Nixon's campaign had portrayed Rockefeller and what Rodham perceived as the "veiled" racist messages of the convention.[17]"

Yes, she has talked about this a great deal. Like many, she started out with the same beliefs as her parents. But experience of the world opened her eyes. Congrats to her for being openminded enough to change.

Yes, that has been widely reported. It is rather old news in fact. Ronald Reagan started his political career as a Democrat. Big deal.
