I don’t think we need to induct traitors in our ranks. And Discerning the difference between misguided individuals and traitors to the cause as Jim would characterize is actually quite a chore.

I think we need to instead expand the army you refer to by reaching out to Independents and likely crossover voters. We don’t need the Elmer Gantry types though they do have their place and a Tent Revival they have no place in this campaign.
People who thought Ted was somehow the face of God, or to support making a false oath of office from a nut like Glenn Beck, are a vast minority and more than slightly unhinged.
I have no desire to work alongside of the face of God blasphemers or the false oath giving Glenn Beck cultmembers.
You are far more generous than I.
I say they should kiss the ring or walk the plank.
The national parties are realigning into a globalist party and the Nationalist party. I’m inclined to hope that the Republican party will become the quintessential Nationalist party.
Nationalism is a primary root of conservatism.
MIA, “traitors in our ranks” is so anti-reality. I’ll bet I can go back no more than 2 months and find the founder of this site saying, “Go Cruz. Go Trump.” IOW, calling Cruz supporters traitors denies the reality of a fast moving campaign. I probably switched over right before Christmas, but I never would have considered Cruz supporters traitors. They were doing what I was doing, looking for the best position given the circumstances. I’ll bet I can find quotes from any number of major trump supporters saying that Cruz has better conservative credentials, but Trump has a greater willingness to take it to the enemy.
Somehow those same people didn’t become traitors overnight for sticking by their guy. There comes a time, though, when reality of delegate count settles in and you acknowledge that your guy, despite being a good conservative, is losing. #Ne erTrump was just a slogan that was used by a campaign to try to influence loss of support and disheartenment.
With the vast majority it never meant “Clinton is better than Trump.” These people don’t believe that.
