It's nothing but praise from Mark Levin in this audio. He interviewed Donald Trump on his radio show and called him 'very impressive'...'Very solid' and 'very conservative.' Keep in mind, everything we know about Donald Trump today, was known then. Enjoy.

Doesn’t mean much without a date on when the interview took place.

Any idea when?

has become intolerably shrill.

He is approaching Hillary on the Shrill-o-meter.

I was still a nightly listener to Levin when he was interviewing the presidential candidates - Jindal, Trump, Cruz and one glaring difference was in the way they responded to Levin's questions. If you ever noticed, Levin frames his questions as if he already knows the answer. When he questioned Trump that way, Trump would say "no, it is such and such", not the way Levin phrased the question. On almost every question.

Jindal and Cruz had the same response to Mark "Exactly Mark". Made me think this is the new catch-phrase of the election cycle.

It wasn't much after that that Mark became Cruz all the time and I have not listened to Levin since he left on his Christmas break.

I used to enjoy and appreciate listening to Mark Levin.
It’s just a shame that for personal reasons he sold out his principles. His fiancee’s son’s association with the Cruz campaign apparently was the only thing that mattered.

“It seems like the less effective Levin is at countering Trump, the angrier he becomes.”

That goes for all of the so-called “conservative pundits.” They all are needing straight jackets and muzzles at this juncture. They are unhinged because Trump has completely ruined their long-standing Ponzi Scheme with the voters.

Is there a date on that? I couldn’t find one.

Others have gone the opposite way (e.g. “He’s NO conservative” to “He’s conservative and it’s time we unite behind him.”)

Opinions change.

I agree. The one thing that you can say is consistent about Trump is he loves the country and seems to love its people. I’ve never gotten the impression from him that he hates the USA or has contempt for its citizens.

I can’t see Trump making a “bitter clingers” comment denigrating citizens. Now he has contempt for criminals, rapists, illegals, drug dealers, foreign invaders, and globalists trying to screw this country but that’s a righteous contempt.

That was before Cruz told Levin that he’d make him a scotus pick. And I suspect that Cruz hired Levin as his lawyer. Maybe to advise him on constitutional eligibility. That would be kind of dirty if he’s being paid with Cruz’s secret Goldman Sachs money to be his advocate and not reporting that information to his radio audience.

This was BEFORE Ted Cruz's SuperPAC "bought" $400,000 worth of Levin's Article V books, and began $10 million in radio ads on Levin and elsewhere.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Not everyone in the world not named Trump is a liar. You may not have noticed but Trump is a very persuasive salesman almost impossible to pin down on any kind of consistent political philosophy. He can be all things to a lot of people on any given day.

Your analysis is interesting. You criticize Cruz because he was unsuccessful fighting the establishment - particularly Boehner and O’Connell. The reason that they hate him so much is because he had the balls to even fight them. If you want to know how Trump has succeeded, it is because he has tapped into that same anger, and yet has ‘masterfully’ painted Cruz as establishment. Also, he has managed to turn Cruz’s strengths into weaknesses. Honesty and integrity into ‘Lyin Ted’. His net of was the same with the othercandidates. Jeb Bush perceived his strength as calmness and steadiness. Trump called him ‘low energy Jeb’. Rubio thought himself as a fighter, and Trump called him ‘little Marco’ and weak. Trump views himself as a counterpuncher (his description). Anyone that has boxed knows that strategy - wait until the stronger fighter uses his punch and then strike back with a stronger punch. In other words, if he jabs, if he punches, you left cross or uppercut. His strategy was the perfect one for appealing to an angry population. The problem is, that people no longer want to reason, they just want change and to be heard. That is how Obama was elected. Populists come and go. THe only thing that has kept us going for these two and one half centuries is our unique Constitution. You have to give credit to Trump, however, he has turned out to be the best politician of all.

Funny, the best possible outcome I see is that Trump somehow manages to win, DOESN’T lost the house or senate to the democrats, and manages to end up being a somewhat moderate republican president, rather than the reactionary technocrat he appears to be.

ON the other hand, the likely outcome is that we get 24/7 news coverage of every idiotic, ridiculous thing Trump has ever said, like accusing Ted Cruz’s father of meeting with Lee Harvey Oswald. By the time the media is through, nobody will be willing to admit they would ever vote for a crazy man to be President.

And of course, billionaire. And then they will cut off his base by running clips of him saying exactly opposite of what they want to hear.

Who wanted Cruz? Well, the conservatives couldn’t manage to jump on board with one of the decent governors, and they threw a hissy fit about Rubio, and too many decided a doctor would make a better president than someone who actually had governed something.

It saddens me how gullible now so many conservatives have become, to actually believe a word Donald Trump, the performer, says.

Mark’s finance’s son (isn’t Mark still married? why does he have a finance?) works for Cruz. Levin got called out on it by Roger Stone.

Mark got all butt hurt which indicates some kind of weakness as far as I am concerned. He let that overtake any rational thought

Mark was perfectly happy with him until Stone pointed out his finance’s son’s connections to Cruz.

Since when does a married man have a finance?

I don’t think anyone knows how Trump will govern. His concerns are immigration and bringing jobs and money back to America. If anyone is looking for Trump to deal with social policy, you can be sure that’s what Hillary will hammer him on.

Hopefully he won’t take the bait, because the minute he says something that shows any sign of liberalism, his campaign is over.
