Levin: The GOP Primary System is Not Rigged
Conservative Review ^ | 04/12/16 | CR Wire

Posted on 04/12/2016 6:29:38 PM PDT by writer33

On Tuesday’s radio program, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin chastised Donald Trump for insisting that the Republican “primary system is rigged.” The system is not rigged, Levin said, and yet Mr. Trump sounds like an entitled liberal demanding delegates from Colorado without having put in the work to win them. It sounds like Mr. Trump is demanding “delegate welfare,” said Levin.

The delegate appointment rules in most of these primaries have been established for nearly a century. In Colorado, for example, the rules for this primary process have been in place since 1912. “Has the system been corrupt for 100 years?” asked Levin. No. This “has never been a pure democracy” explained Levin. “We have a federalist system,” and the states determine the rules for their primaries. It’s the candidate’s job to navigate those rules.

Was he yelling at his listeners when he said it?

Mark Levin spreads this through the website he controls as editor-- Conservative Review-- an "objective" news website which demonstrates just how rigged and corrupt the entire system is. Despite Levin pretending to be objective, this website was spreading false Anti-Trump propaganda for quite some time. It even provides a "rating" for candidates, posing as totally objective. Meanwhile, looking through the people who write or run this website, we see Ted Cruz BFFs or even a Cruz speech writer.

So Levin controls a website that is basically an arm of the Cruz campaign, with no mention of the conflicts of interest that riddle this website, and even Levin fails to reveal that his son-in-law is a full time staffer and that he has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Pro-Cruz SuperPac.

So, after all of this, Levin has the nerve to tell us Colorado isn't rigged, when he is one of the most corrupt radio hosts around.

“It’s the candidate’s job to navigate those rules.”

Lol, so it’s rigged for an inside the beltway politician, and against an outsider.

Thanks for clearin’ that up, Mark!

When people have to defend the primary system by saying we've never had a democracy and shouldn't have one, they're urinating in the wind. Especially since the very being defended have sent generations of Americans all over the planet to make the world safe for Democracy.

Apparently the obvious contridiction of ordering people to die for what you tell them they're not allowed to have themself doesn't register with people like Levin.

Really Mark? In Pennsylvania the voters get to choose 17 of the 71 delegates. In Colorado they canceled the statewide vote and then the party insiders decided who got the delegates. Mark you can go to hell.

Holy crap.
Looks like Levin has turned into a complete GOPe tool.

Sad. Used to like him....

I’m glad I stopped listening to Levin a while back.

The common sense answer should be “Let the voters vote and whomever gets the most votes gets the most delegates. Any other system is innately corrupt, whether it’s winner-take-all or proportionate.”

One wonders what his comments would be if the same process had gone against his preferred candidate.

I can’t stand listening to this guy, and his books were underwhelming. That’s the end for both.

But it’s real simple: people vote for local elected officials on the same ballot they vote for President (or presidential convention delegates or whatever-the-hell). The point is, they vote for their choice and expect their vote to count. And in cases like Colorado, it didn’t.

That’s wrong and it’s going to be fixed, one way or the other. This is just the start of a revolt against a corrupt process and corrupt political apparatus that has been brewing for a long time, and sooner or later, it is going to change and get fixed. Every vote matters!

Me too. And I could never figure out why someone so smart (and I do believe he's intelligent) couldn't put all the pieces together. He always stopped short of saying what was really happening to the country.

Now, I kind of understand. He was controlled opposition like so many others.

Levin sure has been serving up a lot of self serving lies lately.

Its a representative republic and always has been. Only a Trump supporter wouldn’t know that.

Levin, you are the enemy, plain and simple. This from a former listener.
