Join our team and we won't primary you. And no more worries about being primaried by a magat if you don't tow the crazy line. We're a big tent and can handle divergent voices. What really matters is stopping the uber crazy shit. That's more than worth the effort and I wouldn't be surprised if a few might take that kind of deal. After all, getting RE-ELECTED is their prime directive. The main reason rational R's tow the crazy magat line is fear of getting un-elected.
