If Levin was instead using his show to sing Trump’s praises and promote Ted Cruz birtherism, I can guarantee you that anyone who disagreed with him on FR would be vicious attacked and told that they “hate the Constitution and the founding fathers” since they don’t agree with Levin.
Nope. My beef with Levin is his intellectually dishonesty. He’s playing the neutral while devoting hours to CYA spin for the Cruz campaign. For example playing a 17 year old clip of Trump while putting Cruz’s campaigning for Obama’s TPA down the memory hole. There’s no attempt at objectivity. He’s Cruz 24/7 now.
A few months ago Levin and others were accused of being 24/7 for Trump when the topic was immigration and building a wall.
It's the ebb and flow of the campaign season. People go where the energy is. As the candidate field narrows, the energy will intensify around the rest. This is Cruz' week. Last month was Trump. In three weeks after Iowa and New Hampshire, I expect four more to drop out, and momentum will move again.

Levin's intellectual dishonesty has been raised on this board numerous times before, and it never once dampened the viewpoint that Levin is some kind of God-given impartial guardian of the Constitution.
For example, sickoflibs frequently points that Levin said that using nuclear option in the U.S. Senate was totally constitutional and necessary to end obstructionism when Bush was President, then flip-flopped 180o degrees and declared that using the nuclear option in the U.S. Senate was "unconstitutional" and an egregious abuse of power during Obama's presidency. Apparently the text of the Constitution and the framers intent must change depending on what party is in the White House at the time.
Those of us who believe that Levin is just an entertaining radio talk show host and not some kind of definitive Constitutional sage were constantly shouted down on this board by the Levin fans who said that mere disagreement with Levin's opinion was tantamount to treason.
But NOW that Levin himself disagrees with Trump and won't hop on the Cruz birther train, suddenly he's a mere radio personality who should be ignored.
Very interesting timing, wouldn't you say?
