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.

I sincerely hope that your expectations along those lines would prove to be a bit wide of the mark. But, this uncertainty about the character of politicians at the highest levels is, owing to the current state of moral free fall our society finds itself, inescapable. I can assure you I don't like things as they stand. No one can say given the best of outcomes, that being a conservative President is elected, that he even has enough time to ride in and save what's left of the vision of our forefathers. What I do know is personal integrity has taken a huge slide, and we are in dire straits. My opinion, another rabid liberal will just about finish us off.

So the way I see it, I will take the uncertainty of what may come our way via the Republican nominee, over the certainty of what's already aboil in that liberal pot, any day.
