MARK LEVIN: FACT:Reagan never endorsed Gerald Ford at any time during the 1976 GOP convention or campaign
The Reagans were furious at how the Ford campaign had attacked them. Paul Manafort will know this as he was a top delegate counter for Ford and against Reagan at that convention. Ford won the nomination, of course, then lost to Jimmy Carter. Four years later, Reagan won the nomination, won the general election in a landslide, and the rest is history.

Shut up levin.
I used to hold you in high regard. But then Ted Cruz came on the scene, and for this low life you changed. levin is almost as bad as Beck.
OTOH, maybe this is the way ML has always been and I’ve been fooled all these years.
Cruz lost; you bet on the wrong horse. Get over it.
Chirp on Mark. Ted made a pledge. A real man keeps his word.
#NeverLevin
Exactly. I’m in a pissing match on FB with someone over this very same issue.
Reneging on your pledge of support for the candidate? Kashich, Cruz, Lindsey Grahamnesty?
If it’s convenient to reneg on a pledge of support (engineered to embarrass the one guy who winds up WINNING the campaign for the nomination), what other pledges will they reneg on?
Any future support from so-called “conservatives” for ANY of the candidates who reneged on their pledge proves their unworthiness to wear the label of “conservative.”
No more nor less a betrayal than lying under oath.
I’ve heard enough of Mark Levin to last a lifetime.
Okay, he’s made his point.
“Ted, don’t endorse Trump. Do whatever the heck you wish to do. You take the consequences. Comparing you to Reagan is like comparing Obama to George Washington. You’re a loser, and will always be a loser. I fully expect you to not endorse Trump tonight, and to tell us how you’ve struggled with it. However, know that if you go on to criticize the man you do so at your own political peril.”
Cruz is another Obama,like the bushes. Nothing about him, that says he should be president. Cantor Cruz he is a Nwo tool. Like Levin
I initially supported Cruz. Now I understand why he is so hated.
Freepers, please ignore these
The Great One has fallen. What is it about Cruz supporters? They need a compass.
He simply can't not do that and retain any credibility.
I have no earthly idea where Levin came up with this. Pretty poor memory, though."
In Reagan's own words: http://www.c-span.org/video/?4051-1/1976-presidential-endorsement-speech
Levin has a pretty severe case of TDS.
Trump Derangement Syndrome.
“and as a result we ended up with Jimmy Carter...”
Exactly. Which I guess means Levin is still in the tank for Crooked Hillary.
As I said, he has lost his mind. Had to turn him off months ago and I was an avid listener.
Ignore the ranting of Levin and go to the real news of the day/week!

For purposes of clarity and comparison to whatever remarks Sen. Cruz makes tonight, here is a link to Ronald Reagan’s remarks at the 1976 Republican convention:
http://www.nationalcenter.org/ReaganConvention1976.html
‘If it’s convenient to reneg on a pledge of support (engineered to embarrass the one guy who winds up WINNING the campaign for the nomination), what other pledges will they reneg on?’
Exactly. People who don’t honor their word will always find a way to slither out of a promise. They’re deceitful and untrustworthy.
i don’t agree with that...Cruz is still a solid conservative but also an opportunist who’s out for himself..the guy did some stupid things during the primaries but he’s also not been afraid to speak out against liberalism..
Cruz should’ve ridden the coattails of Donald Trump...
You’re right he did. Then he also campaigned for people in the ‘78 mid year elections.
Many seem to lack the ability to read things, and I am shocked that Levin is one.
Let me ask you all a question, “Do you thunk Trump is stupid?”
No you don’t think he is, and neither do I.
Ted Cruz said it loudly that he would endorse Trump when he made the deal with trump to speak in the prime spot on Wednesday night.
Trump would never have agreed to allow Ted a prime time speaking spot if he did not promise to endorse him.
Unless, as I asked, do you think Trump is so stupid he would allow Cruz to destroy the convention by not endorsing him?
Trump is a genius at understanding people, not that I like him, but I will support and vote for him.
So, by hm being allowed the 2nd most prime spot at the convention means he will endorse Trump.
Send that to the idiot.
