Levin's complaints that Trump is attacking from the left using "Alinsky" tactics are silly [vanity]
Posted on 01/20/2016 12:13:55 PM PST by springwater13
Levin might cry and whine about Trump's tactics but here's the thing, there are no rules in politics. The only rule is winning. Trump is making that clear this cycle by breaking all the rules and winning so far.
If Cruz can't beat Trump, he doesn't deserve to be the nominee. Hillary and the democrats would use the same "tactics" and more to pulverize him.
This is what primaries are about. They are tests for the strongest nominee. They make the eventual nominee stronger. Cry baby whining about Trump does not make Cruz stronger. It's what losers do when they lose.

Well, NOOB, you post your personal diatribe in NEWS? It’s actually not news that you are a TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIM) supporter.

Levin has become unlistenable in the last couple of weeks.

Next time take a deep breath, hit the back arrow and have a Snickers.
Levin is the standard bearer for the Conservative movement. Trump is the standard bearer for Trump.

Telling Iowans that he will increase ethanol subsidies more than Obama isn't attacking from the left? (Unless he plans to sell off Trump Tower and pay the subsidy himself).

Yes, you are so much brighter than Mark Levin when it comes to analyzing these sorts of things.

Levin is the standard bearer for the Conservative movement.And the Trumpers will throw him under the bus without a second thought. After Levin, Rush will be next. Just watch.

I’ve heard Levin say many times to get behind the conservative that can actually win. I find it hard to believe he thinks Cruz could first get the nomination or actually win a general election. I personally think he does not like Trump and that’s the reason all this cheerleading for Cruz, who he has to know stands no chance of being elected president.

Agree with everything you said.
If Cruz can't beat Trump, he doesn't deserve to be the nominee. Hillary and the democrats would use the same "tactics" and more to pulverize him.
This is why I'm supporting Trump and not Cruz.
The media would DESTROY Cruz. His conservatism doesn't matter if he's completely neutralized, ala Bush.
Cruz has demonstrated that he can't fight like Trump fights. For almost a week he was defending himself against the stupidest attacks about being Canadian and a bank loan.
His entire Presidency would be him defending himself against a nonstop daily vicious liberal media assault.
Trump would shut it down IMMEDIATELY.
To: Reagan Disciple
Actually I've said since the beginning that Trump is all image and little substance.
Does Donald Trump have a New Hampshire ground game? Does it matter?
A survey of the first 55 people in line at a NH Trump rally showed only 17 of them to be NH residents. Of 50 people in a VIP area inside showed only 23 of them to be NH residents.
Trumpâs rabbit hole probably doesnât have an Iowa victory waiting at the bottom Read more at http://stevedeace.com/news/trumps-rabbit-hole-probably-doesnt-have-an-iowa-victory-waiting-at-the-bottom/
With two weeks to go until the Iowa Caucuses, Trump sent out this plea over the weekend via Facebook: "Everyone needs to get out to their caucus sites on February 1, 2016 & VOTE TRUMP! Never been before? Have questions? Watch this brief video on the entire process and you will be ready to go on Monday, February 1st! Thank you for all of your support! TOGETHER, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
More than 3,200 people have replied to that message in less than two days. Impressive, right? Not so fast.
After reviewing 1,000 of those messages, Trump's support in Iowa is clear as mud. Only 51 respondents were readily identifiable as residents of Iowa. Among the rest were residents of other countries, people who either enjoyed mocking Trump or were supporters of Cruz or Bernie Sanders, and several folks (yikes) who wondered if their state would be caucusing on the same day as Iowa.
What if the Trump Train is an illusion?

Good point. Apparently Levin can't have an opinion unless it's pro Trump. What I can grasp is how people who identify as Conservative are ignoring so many liberal Trump attributes simply for the hope that he, like we were told of McCain and Romney, will win just because they think he can get blacks, Hispanics, evangelicals........the first two no Republican has ever done en mass and if Hillary is the opponent will definitely not.
I get the enthusiasm, he says whatever he wants and brings to the table pressing issues. But when you say things like, “we'll save Christianity” and infer that because McConnell hates Cruz that's a knock on Cruz......credibility goes out the window.
I'll still vote for him if he gets the nod because I despise Hillary. But he's tweeting his way to the clown car.

“Iâve heard Levin say many times to get behind the conservative that can actually win.”
The key words are “the conservative”. Trump is no conservative. He’s a New York liberal that wants something. He’s selling and you’re buying. You will know a man by the fruits he bears. Trump bears none - all words, all recent words.

Yeh I was so impressed when Levin was trying to tell us all how severely conservative Rubio is. LOL!

The only ideological conservative (and can’t be elected) in the race is Cruz. Trump is more conservative than the RINOs, and more conservative than libertarian Ron Paul Jr.

Ahhh - the classic Monday morning QB move.
Got it, would that be similar to Trump saying since he grew up in Manhattan he had NY values like being pro abortion and pro amnesty? Or do we forget all about that because he's changed don't cha know?
Levin can't control how a guy like Rubio politically matures. But ‘A’ for effort on your part.
