I am sure the entire DNC is in the process of joining to monitor their own screw-ups... This probably accounts for a large %age of the newbies....So we have to be vigilant at the same time rejoiceful.

I would imagine the reverse to be true. It would be TOO obvious if so many of their people came in toward the end of the election cycle. The idea behind being a sleeper agent is being in place LONG before the action is to begin, that way you have the cover of being a "veteran" and above suspicion.
I have seen the replies of some of those who joined outside of any specific event that if their enlistment date were close to any such event they would have been zotted.
