Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro credit themselves for Trump nominating Gorsuch

Mark R. Levin ‏@marklevinshow 23m23 minutes ago

Thank you conservatives. No thanks to the pompom boys. http://fb.me/8ARjGokf6

Lightweight Ben Shapiro, "They’re fully within their rights to mock those Constitutional conservatives – like me! – who said that Trump would never appoint a conservative to the Court.

But they are ignoring one rather crucial point: if had been up to them, they wouldn’t have pressed Trump for a damn thing. Trump appointed a conservative to the high court because he needed to please Constitutional conservatives. He didn’t do it because he is a deeply knowledgeable Constitutional scholar (he once said in a presidential debate that his Supreme Court justice would have to prosecute Hillary Clinton and also said he might appoint his leftist sister to the Supreme Court); he didn’t do it because he’s an advocate of Constitutional separation of powers (he’s never made any comment along those lines). Trump appointed Gorsuch because he promised he would. And he only promised he would because he needed to gain the support of doubtful conservatives, which he almost universally did."

“More and More, Levin is sounding like another GlenBeck-—BEGGING for attention and praise.”

Both of them figured out how to get a big paycheck from a conservative audience.

They began to believe that they are Special, imbued with a genius that their worshipful listeners couldn’t live without.

And then reality intruded.

I suspect that the Beck, Levin and Shapiro incomes took a serious hit that they never dreamed could happen.

I don’t know who, if anyone, pushed the nomination but my vote has been rewarded. Thank you President Donald J. Trump!

I liked one of Mark’s books.

However, both of these two don’t understand conservatism.

It is not about ideology, but about prudence combined with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

They are TOO ideological to be conservative.

Conservatives are NOT purists.

I credit Levin for making my evening commute more peaceful. Silence is underrated.

If things had been up to them, right now we’d all be weeping and wailing, as Scalia was replaced by a far left loon. They should just shut up.

You obviously do not listen to his show. Levin as an honest broker and Constitutionalist who was all in for Donald Trump, but holds his feet, and everyone else’s feet to the fire every day.
Remember when W agreed with Every Child Left the anger of the Behind, and most Republicans supported this asinine bilge b/c W wanted it? I do. Levin’s motto: Do the right thing, or face the anger of a sizable minority of your most fervent supporters.
Overall, Levin has been very pleased with the President, but...he’s not afraid to let him have it if he missteps. That, IMO, is a very good thing.

Trump made the appointment because that's what he promised his supporters and not because of Levin and rest of the #nevertrump crowd.

Levin would be better off sticking his nose back in his books and legal briefs. He's sounding more and more like a Glenn Beck with a law degree.

I credit Trump for saving this country’s bacon. If he doesn’t do one darn thing his whole presidency (I know he already has done things even before he was inaugurated), we owe him so much for saving us from that vile, wicked woman.

I’ve never known levin to pass up a chance to pat himself on the back and I laugh at any notion he had anything positive to do with a Trump administration.

We’ll thats an out and out lie. I can always tell supporters of Ben’s by thier foolish acceptance of media quotes. The media lies all the time but they never bother to verify anything. They’re just stupid suckers.

Beck admitted the other day that he was “wrong” about Donald Trump. I almost fell out of my chair.


Say what! What was the context?

BWAHAHAHA! You're such a tool.

I faithfully listened to ML since before he was syndicated (2004 or so), bought all of his crappy books, his dad's over-hyped and crappy books, and started a LevinTV subscription - until on the 3rd day of his TV show he endorsed Cruz and viciously turned on President Trump. I got the subscription refunded but he refused to refund the other crap of his and his dad's that I bought.

I remember well when ML vowed multiple times that he would leave his "bunker" and campaign non-stop to defeat Harry Reid in NV - then did nothing because a dog or something was sick.

No one needs lectures from you about Levin's modus operandi, at least I certainly don't. ML was most certainly NOT "all in" for Trump - at most, he voted for him. He's all talk and butt-hurt. Like you. FUML.
