Well, it all comes down to who winds up getting the nomination. If that guy is Cruz, he gets my vote. If he is Trump, he gets my vote.

I know there are enough low information voters hanging out in the hollers of Kentucky to make a difference here. If those folks are not self sufficient, at least we know their farming parents were. The low information voters of which I and the pundits have been referencing are widely known for having reliably voted for Democrats. They are the blue collar and big city minority groups, as well as the various strange and undefinable special interest groups and the sexually deviant. That is the reason for my charge of dishonesty, the Trump detractors know the low information crowd will vote for Hillary, or Satan if necessary. And they know full well that they always pull that handle with a 'D' on it. I mean, there is a reason Dems insist on no voter ID laws while holding the border gates wide open and relaxing visa and immigration standards. Dems think they will vote for them as well. It boils down to a question of who promises to keep the heat on the judicial system to get beneficial laws passed for people such as the homosexual movement, and/or who promises to keep the welfare checks rolling in for the rest. It is Hillary and Sanders who are promising the moon, as it was Barack Obama filling that bill the last two election cycles.

The fact that Trump has flip flopped towards the conservative side does not concern me. Now, a Hillary or Sanders Presidency is a concern. I say that because the primary process will give us a nominee, and in light of what we have seen in the past four years, eloquence or details notwithstanding, I can live with either Trump or Cruz.

I have no problem with Democrats seeing the light and maturing into conservative Republicans. The evidence of that happening in Trump's case is pretty scant. The flip-flops that concern me are the ones that have happened over a period of months, not years. Swinging from throwing Trey Gowdy's name out as his likely Attorney General to ridiculing Gowdy as a failure, for example.

I also find Trump's questioning other people's religion troubling. On multiple occasions he has commented that not many Evangelicals come from Cuba - implying that Cruz chose his religion so that he could win the Iowa caucus. (I am just guessing that to be Trump's point, because it is such a stupid comment to make that I could be wrong.)

I am not even sure that Ted Cruz has ever been to Cuba. He was born in Canada to an American citizen mother and if he speaks Spanish at all, he is not fluent. I guess that we are to believe that Cruz's father became a preacher to boost his son's political chances in Iowa.

The bottom line is that I may hold my nose and vote for Trump but I find him increasingly unlikable. He is a jerk who shares many of the traits that I dislike in Obama. I would expect that if he is elected, Trump will have no more respect for the limits that the Constitution places on presidential power than Obama has shown.
