Levin Trashes ‘Nixonian’ Trump: Running ‘Campaign of Personal Attacks’
Redstate ^ | 1/20/16 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 01/20/2016 6:02:57 PM PST by TBBT

Mark Levin is growing steadily angrier at Trump, saying tonight he's acting very "Nixonian," running an "Alinskyite" campaign, and straight-up lying about Ted Cruz.

Levin has been criticizing Trump a lot recently, but tonight he took it to a whole new level, declaring, "If he becomes the nominee, a lot of people who otherwise would unite under that tent may not, because when you run a campaign of personal attacks, an Alinskyite campaign, wittingly or unwittingly, you turn people off."

He's really tired of Trump's attacks on Cruz over his bank loans, Canadian birth, supposed unlikeability, etc. Levin is no longer impressed with Trump bragging about how great he is at making deals because, as he said, the problem isn't that Washington can't make deals, but "the kind of deals they make."

And as Levin talked at length about Trump's "dirty, low-down politics," he asked a question: "Is that Reaganesque or more Nixonesque?"

After listening to a bunch of clips of Trump trashing Crus on supposedly covering up loans, Levin cried, "Stop lying about it!"

He aded, "But he won't."

Mark didn't seem to like the tenor of this article's title. Wonder if it's because it will make it harder to make nice-nice with the Donald later on down the road.

Anyway... I listen to Mark's show tonight and the article looks pretty accurate to me.

He probably didn’t want to slime Nixon by comparing him to Trump.

Cruz reminds me of Nixon, not Trump.

Levin needs a prune...

All Levin said is that there are two camps running distinctive campaigns.

Mark Levin is quickly becoming the next Glenn Beck, hoping to poison the well and damage Trump for the general. Marky boy should stop lying to his audience and just admit he’s been working on behalf of the Cruz campaign for quite some time, as evidenced by the constant anti-Trump smears on Conservative Review which he is the Chief Editor of.

Fortunately, Trump’s numbers are just too big for Marky, in all his narcissistic glory, to damage Trump.

I think there is only one person who will lose in a battle between Trump and Levin and that is Levin.... I hope he reconsiders...

Yet Cruz’s attacks on Trump (or Rubio for that matter) are just fine and dandy. Get a grip Levin. Candidates all attack each other during the primaries. Your candidate does it too.

Levin has shown himself to be dishonest. Article V fans should keep that consideration in mind.

I’m surprised Levin won’t be joking Beck this weekend to stump for
Cruz.

Cruz, Beck and Levin

Trump does not remind me of Reagan in any way shape or form.

Cruz has more of that down home smile than Trump.

Now that is not right-—— Beck is a nut-job loser-— Levin is sane and very smart but just wrong on this...

What Levin might not realize is that a lot of people are hurt economically and they want solutions now! They may just shut him off and vote Trump because they want jobs and opportunity.

Aaaaand noted Constitutional scholar Levin goes under the bus as an “idiot” because-——he fails to fawn over Trump, lol.

But it’s not a cult.
