Anti-Trump Republicans: If Trump becomes the Republican nominee for president, would you then support him completely, or would you switch to Democrat?

I've voted for Democrats in the past couple elections despite being incredibly conservative.  This is because it has been a long time since a Republican presidential nominee has been as conservative as his Democratic rival.  Let me give you some examples:

Conservatives believe in fiscal responsibility.  Yet Romney proposed $3 trillion in tax cuts and claimed he would make them up with imaginary loopholes.
Conservatives believe that government exists almost entirely to protect people from existential threats.  Yet Bush got us into two wars that were not calculated to protect U.S. lives, and did not serve the U.S.'s interests.
Conservatives believe in free trade.  The government ought not to meddle in the prices of goods and services.  Those should be set by the simple law of supply and demand, which allocates resources much more efficiently.  Yet for a decade, Republican nominees have fought against immigration, both legal and illegal, in order to protect citizens from falling labor prices.

I could go on and on.  Trump represents the worst of those features of modern Republicans.  I would vote for a Marxist over him.
