Mark Levin cuts off interview when Donald Trump starts criticizing Marco Rubio
Mofopolitics ^ | Jun. 17, 2015

Posted on 06/17/2015 6:13:04 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Things were going swimmingly, that is, until Donald Trump became mildly critical of Marco Rubio– at which point, Rubio loyalist Mark Levin suddenly [air quote] hit a hard break [air quote]…

Levin: I have to tell you something…the callers, they’re very excited about your campaign.

On Free Trade…

Levin: I agree with you, actually.

(SNIP)

But then Trump crossed the line by mildly criticizing Marco Rubio…

Trump: Rubio, weak on immigration– very weak on immigration, although he tried to come back. But, you know, uh, we know where he stands. He’s very, very weak. You know, he did the immigration thing, and then all of a sudden his poll numbers plummeted, and all of a sudden he became a little bit of a hawk on immigration–

:Mark Levin frantically tells producer to hit the music:

Levin: Donald! Donald! Donald! I really apologize. I’ve got this hard break.

But would Trump cut big government spending? Probably not, in my opinion.
Whatever that's worth.

Trump hasn't had a chance at cutting gov't spending, Rubio has...The bigger question is (not opinion), did he?

BTW, Rubio IS weak on illegal immigration, Trump is right on. Shame on Levin.

Levin rails on about principles, and Rubio is the biggest violator of trust for the people who put him in the Senate...talk about a fraud lacking principle standing there with Chucky Schumer.

what is mofopolitics anyway? I’ve listened to Levin for years and he doesn’t hold back when criticizing the R’s and the D’s...

I definitely agree. Hyperactive Trolls are popping up all over Free Republic and other conservative sites stirring up conflict. Either they’ve received their orders or the mental institutions have had a mass release.

When the only alternative was the Massachusetts misfit and Obozo enabler, a LOT of us backed Santorum. Is that a problem? I don't remember who Levin backed. What is your position at the US Chamber of Crony Commerce? If Santorum is an "amnesty pimp," Mittens of Massachusetts is a gun grabbing, baby killing, Obozo predecessor in socializing medicine, "gay""marriage" pimp. More lessons available on request.

If Rick Santorum goes to hell, he will find you there in management with the Massachusetts Mythman and Teddy Bare and so many others of Romney's kind. Obozo will be along eventually.

Trump Trolling. It’s a thing now.

Of course, keeping his announcement thread at the top of the Breaking News sidebar for two days isnt helping matters.

I’d say your two possibilities aren’t mutually exclusive!

Levin is a baby bush hack

Don't just tell another Freeper that. Tell Mark Levin himself.

Mr Lurkinanloomin,

So do I listen to Levin every day..

and I remember it exactly as you described. Levin barely got in his apology before the hard break occurred. Any listener to talk radio should be familiar with hard breaks.

Under the circumstances of Trump's schedule it made much sense to me that

I will add only that

I do not recall exactly but I think it was little more that ten minutes left in the hour when Trump called in. It was a short and rushed interview. Again nothing unusual.

Did Savage type the posted comments? :)

.. but still consider Rubio a viable candidate. Why?

Because he's young, relatively good looking (I wouldn't know .. I don't swing "that way"), and he gives a good speech. Unfortunately, he lied his way to the Senate and turned coat about 10 minutes after he got to D.C. I would also consider him a racist, since he is hispanic AND supports amnesty for illegal hispanics.

It is my understanding that they are escapees from The Home For the Bewildered.

Yes Mark has this surreal loyalty to Rubio for some crazy reason.

But I also seem to remember that Levin has also been pretty OK with Trump so far.
