Conservative radio host Mark Levin endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) late Wednesday as a tribute to former first lady Nancy Reagan.
“I decided today was the day ultimately because of Nancy Reagan’s death,” he said on “LevinTV.”

Shorty will never fill President Reagan’s boots.
Disgusting.
The Conservative Movement™ has made very effective use of an imaginary Ronald and Nancy Reagan to promote their ruinous “globalism wrapped in the flag” foreign and economic policies.
The only thing we need to remember of Reagan’s foreign policy is “we win, they lose”, and the 600 ship Navy.
did he announce it in an angry voice?
So the constitutional wiz kid thinks the Canadian is qualified under the NBC clause. FAIL!
"“I decided today was the day ultimately because of Nancy Reagan’s death,” he said on “LevinTV.” ..
The parenthetical has been added (as best as I can tell)
MY comment is based on my FB page where I have been following Levin for about three months
I may have deleted it by now, but he endorsed Ted Cruz before Nancy's death
That's all I'm saying .... he had posted to his FB fans
Yes. Don’t know if it’s true or not but I heard Nancy was going to endorse Trump.
Narcissistic Rage as the Psychodynamic of Trump Derangement Syndrome
American Thinker ^ | 3/9/2016 | Debbie Taylor

The psychodynamics of narcissistic injury and rage have been studied for over a hundred years. Narcissism involves a grandiose and unrealistic self-image of personal perfection, brilliance, exaggerated admirableness, or special ability or powers. This ongoing condition involves a defense mechanism of self-delusion, which is unstable and becomes deranged when confronted by reality.
A psychological complex called the narcissistic injury, or mortification, arises from a blow to that unbalanced sense of self-worth. The blow exposes the gap between the narcissistic ideal and the actualities of the narcissist’s condition. Narcissistic injury provokes an uncontrollable desire for revenge against the individual who is perceived as unmasking the narcissist’s untethered self-worth.
Narcissistic rage cannot energize rational discourse. It takes the form of a personal, obsessive, burning hatred toward the person perceived as challenging the narcissistic delusion. Narcissistic rage is an effort to rebuild the false self-image and restore a sense of power through an attack against the threatening individual.
Psychology distinguishes between the venomous spewings of narcissistic rage and the justified stance of mature aggression. Several major right-wing pundits are maturely questioning and disagreeing with Donald Trump’s positions. But Trump’s independence in speaking truths about what the American people can do when they set their minds to something has unleashed narcissistic rage from the firmament of failed Republican candidates and insular, irrelevant right-wing punditry.
Prior to the Trump temblor, the right-wing establishment maintained power despite consistently avoiding the battles they promise to join, selling out ideals, and betraying voters. The elites developed a narcissistic character structure of self-aggrandizement untroubled by the reality of their consistent failure. They are now spewing personal vilification against Trump, which they have never directed against Obama or Hillary, because Trump exposes what they unconsciously perceive to be their own deficiencies.

Levin already endorsed Cruz. This act is an insult to President Reagan’s wife.
What did Cruz say?
Doesn't it give you pause when Trump is getting all of the coverage. Other candidates mostly get mentioned when it's in relation to Trump.
Basically, that Trump voters were low-information voters and that they weren’t educated.
If Levin was really honest, he would have endorsed Cruz right from the start. Instead, he repeatedly said he was endorsing noone, yet continually praised Cruz while railing against Trump and Rubio (others too). I’m glad he finally came clean, but he wasn’t fooling his low information listeners. (unwashed even)
The hundreds of millions of dollars that Tepid Ted is accepting are for what other than to buy influence? That’s bribery in my book. Cruz has accepted hundreds of millions of dollars and owes allegiance to the contributors of those dollars. He’s bought and paid for by the GOPe.
Mark has the right to endorse whoever he chooses without any criticism from me. It is hardly a surprise to anyone on FR that he was going to endorse Cruz. However (I’m sure you expected a “however”), how many freepers remember October 29, 2002? Paul Wellstone’s memorial service was turned into a Democrat political event. Using the death of a beloved public figure to advance a political cause seems to reflect bad taste to this country boy. Mark had no need to reference Nancy’s death other than to add force to his endorsement. We would rightly criticize political grave dancing if Democrats do it.
Probably. But it all is what it is. Convictions and wishes fall hard. Disappointment comes unwillingly. It takes a while to go through the five stages of grief.
Anyone shocked by Levin endorsing Cruz obviously doesn’t pay attention to him on a daily basis, or is a newcomer to who he is and where he stands on issues. None of his reasons for this are a surprise. At least for people who pay attention to him.
I see Levin has earned the disdain of many FReepers. How dare he oppose “the Donald?”
“That a tool to use Nancy death to pimp Cruz.”
He didn’t use her death to pimp Cruz. But you’d know that if you actually listened to what says.
