I became a Republic in 1993 (actually my whole family from myself, father, sister, brother-in-law, inlaws) because of Clinton in Lewinskygate. The fact that Clinton would not apologize for his degenerate trysts (he actually was having a BJ while on the phone with a congressman discussing sending troops from his state unit to Kosovo) sickened all of us, and the way that the libs said "it was just about sex." (Yeah and Watergate was just about tape on a door). We were shocked that instead of calling for his resignation the way the GOP called for Nixon's resignation in 1974, the Democrats would NOT EVEN LOOK AT AND REVIEW the evidence against Clinton at the National Archives, because their minds were already made up. Then Larry Flynt (who I believe was HIRED by the Clintons in a hush hush manner) went out to SMEAR members of the GOP about their personal life (which played up the "it is just about sex" angle) and destroy their careers. Our family did not want any part of the Democratic Party after that.

Also, the Democratic Party, which my family were devout registered members for over 120 years (in fact, my great grandmother held "teas" for JFK and his family and campaign staff when he was running for Congress in 1947, and headed the "Lynn Massachusetts Democratic Ladies Club") no longer represented us. It used to mean supporting hard working, union paying patriotic Americans who looked out for the "little guy." Now the party is a fringe group of petty partisans who grab are more interested in pacifying special interest groups like gay rights, the pro abortion crowd, affirmative action, and fat cat lawyers) and marginalizing the same people they used to champion. For all of us, the choice was rather easy. On the day the Senate voted not to remove Clinton, I reregistered as a Republican and have never looked back.
