One Democrat that Rush took a liking to was Rep. Jim Traficant. He was known for going off the reservation enough that he irritated the honchos in the party. He eventually went to jail for some misuse of funds. He was one of those Ohio blue collar Democrat types.
It turns out that Ohio allows crossover voting.
According to the following article, there was a significant amount of Crossover voting during Operation Chaos in 2008:

and as reported a few days ago, over 1,000 Democrats had changed their registration to Republican so they can vote for Trump in the closed primary. And that was just in the county where Youngstown is located.
An idiot relative who is damned near a Bernie Sanders Socialist and has his head so far up the Unions hind end he can see jimmy Hoffa’s tonsils likes Trump.
He thinks that After Bernie gets kicked out of the DNC and Trump gets removed via broken convention that those two will team up and run third party as a Trump / Sanders ticket....
This Ohio girl is not surprised. Ohio has a lot of blue collar voters who are Republican. Trump will attract many of them because they do not like Kasich due to the Senate Bill 5, aka Issue 2 fiasco from 2011. Police, firefighter and teacher union voters are still angry at Kasich over it.
The Reagan Democrats, blue-collar Americans, made Reagan president. If it weren’t for them he wouldn’t have had the votes. I suspect the same is true for Trump. I see the blue-collars liking Trump just as they liked Reagan.
I know a few blue-collar Democrats, and they do not trust Cruz or Rubio in the slightest.

They don’t expect any change from open borders Clinton.
They don’t like Kasich because they don’t think he can win.
They like Trump because he CAN win and he is NOT open borders.
Yep, Trump forming the Regan coalition. GO TRUMP GO
We don’t want any stinking Conservative Democrats in our party!
How dare they leave the plantation! Don’t they know what’s good for them?!?!?!?!?!?.....................INGRATES!>..............................
