So? It’s amazing that because Trump, who is not a Conservative, never was and never will be, is the nominee all of his supporters want Conservatives to simply shut up and go along for the ride.

Is Levin not entitled to his opinion? Better yet, when Romney and McCain were nominated did you or any true Conservative simply shut up and back them 100%? I know I didn’t.

You don’t have to agree with Levin, that’s freedom of choice. But no need to tell him to be quiet simply because you don’t.

Whatever he says it doesn’t change the fact that Trump won, so who why would it matter?

Levin is certainly entitled to his opinion. I am certainly entitled to my opinion that Levin sold out to the NAtional Chamber of Commerce and Club for Growth free labor express. He is also in my opinion a sellout to the constitution and the common sense values of a moral and just society.

Oh, shut the hell up. Trump's published policy positions are easily as conservative as anything the revered Ronaldus Magnus would have put forth.

And - he's been saying most of those things for the last 30 years.

Just stop with the "He's not a conservative" meme. It's counterproductive, and a blatant lie.

Yawn. Jim Robinson himself has posted ample evidence of Trump's conservatism, going back decades and much of it taken from his own books. Immigration, Trade, Taxation, Regulation: Trump has discussed these issues for decades, and holds eminently conservative positions on them.

Indeed, looking at Trump's policy initiatives, it's clear that he's the most conservative nominee since Ronald Reagan, by any reasonable standard.

Let's not forget that Reagan, for instance, signed the Immigration Act of 1986, which granted amnesty to millions of illegals.

So why would you cling to such a clumsy canard which doesn't stand up to close scrutiny when the actual facts are considered?

Is Levin not entitled to his opinion?

Levin's perfectly entitled to his opinion. And conservatives are perfectly entitled to call bullshit on it.

Levin can make all the rationalizations in the world to claim Trump is a globalist, but he'd better get used to having his hysterical hatred of Donald Trump challenged and repudiated.

Levin has jumped the shark, and he can either wake up, or he can become increasingly irrelevant by pandering to a steadily dwindling listening audience, just like Hillary is.

Conservatives, unfortunately for Mark Levin, tend to think for themselves, and when someone like Levin lurches off into Looney Land, they risks losing their audience, because conservative listeners can tell when a pundit 1) has too much invested in a specific candidate, or 2) is imposing some impossibly rigid or hypocritical ideological litmus test, or 3) has such blind hatred for another candidate that every show becomes a ceaseless vendetta against that person.

That's why Levin and Rush are going to go down the drain if they don't wake up to what's happening with the GOP, and embrace it, because this movement is very positive and important, and represents the greatest potential for conservative progress in government since Ronald Reagan was President.

These gentlemen are going to become mere afterthoughts if they don't start participating in the new order of things: an upgraded, improved GOP with a "big tent" and a nationalistic, "America First" attitude and policy priorities.

Vote Trump!

I can tell Levin to be quiet anytime. I simply turn off the radio. Blessed quiet!

I used to enjoy Levin but he ( and Beck) became unbearable with their non-stop infomercial for Cruz and now their in their bitterness in Cruz's loss.

It’s no use. The dims elected their American Idol President and now the Republicans have nominated their reality show populist. Both sides firmly placed their fingers in their ears and started the LA LA LA LA LA...

They have made their emotionally based decision and there is no way to sway them. The Trump supporters will cherry pick what supports the way they want their candidate to be and ignore anything else. This is how demagogues rise in any political system.

I’m just praying he lives up to at least some of the Trumpster’s expectations.

God help the USA...
