And Lincoln was once a Whig and Washington was once a British military officer. But Dr. Krauthammer is STILL a Democrat, unlike the men you named.
.....”Hendrik Hertzberg, a former colleague of Krauthammer’s at The New Republic during the 1980s, said that when the two first met in 1978, Krauthammer was “70 per cent Mondale liberal, 30 per cent ‘Scoop Jackson Democrat,’ that is, hard-line on Israel and relations with the Soviet Union;” while in the mid-1980s, he was still “50-50: fairly liberal on economic and social questions but a full-bore foreign-policy neoconservative.” Hertzberg now calls Krauthammer a “pretty solid 90-10 Republican.”.....

Respectfully, Washington was an officer in the provincial militia. He was never made a British officer. I only mention it, because if he had been made a British officer, it could have had a tremendous influence on history.
