I appreciate that you took the time to lay out some common complaints about the GOP, but, having observed in the past that you don't identify as Republican but rather conservative, I asked you to name 3 things you don't like about conservative politics. Would the 3 things you charged at the GOP apply to your sense of your own conservative politics?

Assuming Trump doesn't get the nomination, would you vote for any of the other 8 or 9 top candidates over Sanders? How about over O'Malley, assuming he were still in the race?

And yes, why do you scoff at the notion that one be able to identify weaknesses in their own beliefs or values as a sign of rationality? Isn't that the definition of rationality? Puzzling you'd consider that a strange test.
