Sorry about that. You have been here long enough that one would assume some rationality. Appearances can be deceiving. There are, indeed, a number of things that I believe Levin got wrong. Some of them he has corrected. In some he persists. He is still by far the best expositor of the Constitution on the air.
Good luck explaining that. Too many people around here just want to hate certain fellow conservatives even though they endorsed Trump in the general election campaign. Doesn’t matter — they’re still secret NverTrumpers.
Because we said so.
Had Ted Cruz been elected, I think this is exactly the kind of justice he’d select.
Some conservatives were doubtful that Trump would — but he did, and thank God for that.
As we should do for ANY officeholder. If we don't keep the pressure on, the other side's pressure will prevail.
Bill Buckley once said that politics isn't just about electing the right people, but about getting the wrong people to do the right thing.

Yes, as recently as this morning. And happy to be wrong. (They did note that it's a small sample -- less than two weeks -- but he's been good so far, and they want him to keep this up.)
ridiculing his own listeners
I've never heard him do that. In fact, he regularly praises them.
Had they simply explained why they disagreed with supporting Trump, that would have been one thing,/i>
They did -- repeatedly. They said they were concerned about his progressive history, his propensity to executive orders (something we criticized Obama for), some of his policy positions, and other things. They also criticized his temperament.
You can agree or disagree with their criticisms, but you can't say they didn't explain why they opposed Trump. Glenn spent a LOT of time talking about that, as did Pat and Stu. (And, FWIW, Jeffy.)
The Blaze has vigorous Trump supporters on the network, too -- such as Tomi lahren, who was a Trump backer early.
to so idiotically charicature Trump and those who supported him was just plain stupid, and an insult to many of their long-time supporters
Except that they didn't. They repeatedly said they could understand and respect why people were for Trump, especially in the general election, even though they didn't agree with it. Glenn repeatedly said good things about Trump supporters.
Those are the facts. I realize they'll likely get me zotted, at least for a while.
Check out these threads. I think you’ll find they address your question.

The country needs Donald Trump to be successful. And as long as he’s leading and governing in a way that honors constitutional principles, Glenn will be the first in line to make apologies when he’s wrong — but there’s one contingent.
“I will never abandon my principles for what I think might happen. Because too many times, as we have seen with Supreme Court justices, what I think will happen isn’t what happens. I will stick by my principles because they are unchanging, and I will trust God to work it out,” Glenn said Wednesday on radio.
