Ancestral R suburbanite in the metro of either Columbus or Detroit who warmed to Clinton's rather center-right economics over the course of his term and was alienated by Gingrich's Congress and Iraq to the point of moving a little to the left on other issues as well. If the implication is that they voted for the Republicans in the interim period, however, it was probably purely an Iraq protest vote, and less geographically specific.

My grandfather (became a Democrat as a result of Gingrich’s tactics and entitlement warfare).

Did he actually become more left-leaning, or did he remain a right winger who just disapproved of the GOP?

Thanks to his retirement in 1996, he went from being right-wing to being apathetic about taxes and labor, and he went from being apathetic about entitlements to being against entitlement cuts.

Dr. David A. Kessler, I think. He was an aide to Orrin Hatch, FDA Commissioner under Bush 41 and Clinton, he clashed with Republicans during Clinton’s Presidency, and now he’s helping Biden with COVID.

A lot of north east suburbs had their republican vote collapse in 1996 and it never recovers from then.
