If DINOs have been participating in our processes and primaries, having them as Republicans might help us organize our party better.

Not really.  What Will Rogers said almost a century ago is still true. "I'm not a member of an organized party; I'm a Democrat."

And you think that simply another faction of the party will eventually start voting Republican once Democrats start losing and they try to make up the deficit by getting current Republicans to start voting Democrat?  At the very least, people are who have been lying about their affiliation since maybe as long as I have been alive are no longer lying.

Interesting that DINOs are changing their party affiliations now. I'd have thought most of those who wanted to would have done so between 2009 and 2014, in the "Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Socialist Atheist" era of political discourse.

I think the Donald not only embodies the reason they left the Democrats but also why they were Democrats in the past. He actually gives what seems to be economic solutions for the lower middle class that don't help the very poor. That is, high tariffs, mass deportation, a ban on immigration, an Obama like stimulus,  taxes on incomes under $50000, and maintains public old age insurance. (Though this really sounds as much McKinley as it does FDR)
