I am sure Will Marshal will show them the proper way to register as a Democrat while changing none of their right wing views, he made a living pushing their views from within the party both in the DLC and PPI since the eighties.

They can also get propaganda material from the third way site and continue their assault on Democratic social programs using the proper letterhead to do so as a Democrat.
