I know how it is to have to vote for someone you are just not that into. I've done it with Dole, McCain and Romney. Plus, the two Bushes have disappointed me to a certain degree. I realize no one sees things 100% the way I see them, so I make some accommodation for that. But I'll never be sucked in by an Establishment candidate again.

That said, I won't ride that pendulum as it swings wildly away from the Establishment and jump on Donald Trump's campaign train. I am, first and foremost, a conservative. I realize people can have a change of heart as they go through life, but Trump's epiphanies are a little suspect in terms of timing. And for that reason, they're not really believable to me.

I very much want the border fixed, and there are other things that desperately need addressing. I'm not a one-issue voter. Trump isn't very knowledgeable of many of the problems facing us. He's just, as Scott Pelly said tonight, a hurricane of words. I really dislike Pelly, but I have to give him credit for that phrase. It's much nicer than the phrase I use to describe Trump's blabbering (diarrhea of the mouth).

One last very telling thing about Trump. I've seen it reported that he thinks his sister, a federal judge, would make a phenomenal Supreme Court Justice. Because he has no filter on his yammering, he must have realized how that would play to his new conservative supporters, so he qualified it by saying that he'd have to rule that out -- for now, at least. Makes one wonder... when is "now" over? If he became president, do you trust that he would not nominate his "phenomenal" sister for the Supreme Court? Or is that just another empty campaign phrase like keeping your doctor if your like your doctor?
