Please ... the question wasn't intended to spark a religious debate. The religion forum is rife with that.

That was the point of the question.
You didn't set it up that way. You said:

I'm assuming (and maybe wrongly) that many (most?) of those who support trump are Christians? Or at least consider themselves to be Christians. Am i wrong about that?
Anyway, do you think that Jesus would vote for trump? And if yes, why?
I'm pointing out that your premise is flawed. It's a pointless question.

Yes, but scholars believe that he was of the Middle Eastern descent. It is understood that his skin was olive-colored, which is consistent with the skin of people in the Levant region. Haven't you read this stuff before?

As we all (or most of us) know, one can be "very religious" and not necessarily walk the talk. I'm not saying that's true of Cruz. I don't know.
I think Jesus is abhorred by people like Sanders who want to make people dependent on a big bureaucratic government. Isn't that what killed him?

He's probably pretty pissed at Hillary too for consorting with those Wall Street money changers.

I believe that Sanders supports a two state solution. Beyond that, i don't know.
I can't pick on bernie from the standpoint that I think he could do good in cleaning up elements in the democratic party on some levels, just like what's going on now in the republican party. Unfortunately, I don't think he will be successful on this regard since he's falling behind hillary.

Wait, this is a trick question, isn't it?

Jesus has no voter ID.

Or US citizenship.

Hmm, I wonder if his name is pronounced "Hay-sus" . . . . I had a landscaper named Jesus Castro once.
