Mark Levin: Why’s Trump Cozying Up to Sanders But Still Trashing Cruz?
Mediaite ^ | May 28, 2016 | Josh Feldman

Mark Levin still has serious problems with Donald Trump, and today he pointed to something odd Trump’s been doing recently that could be a turn-off for conservatives.

Trump has been throwing compliments Bernie Sanders‘ way recently, saying he has some good ideas and the Democrats are being unfair to him and he should consider going third party, while at a rally yesterday Trump went back to trashing “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz.

And that really pissed off Levin, who wondered, “Does he talk about Bernie Sanders this way? He treats Bernie Sanders with an odd respect.”

He mocked the way Trump fans pivoted from praising him for agreeing to a debate with Sanders to praising him for deciding against it.

Then let Ted know he needs to endorse and start behaving like he has a day job . Ted is still attacking Trump and the voters who didn’t go Cruz

Levin should retire and focus on his dog/cat rescue activities. He’d do good there.

I listened to Mark’s radio show every evening when possible for years.

Until he went full bore Glenn Beck over the primaries.

To me, he becname unbearable and now I haven’t listened in so long I can’t remember the last time.

It would be interesting to see his radio ratings for the last 18 months.

I would imagine that he has seen a considerable drop in listeners since he went overboard on the primaries.

Could Levin argue that libertarian does not violate his principles?

There is substantial overlap especially on limited government and Constitutional issues.

“Cruz thinks that by not endorsing Trump he can be a player at the convention. By continuing to call him Lying Ted, Trump is marginalizing him. Trump is playing chess and staying at least one step ahead of him.”

You may be right about that. Or it may end up being counterproductive. Only time will tell.

There has never been a candidate like Trump. His mind works in a different dimension. Drives the old line talk guys mad.

You need to read better. I never said anything about Levin bashing Cruz. (I stooped listening to Levin last summer when he was promoting Trump.) I was talking about the Sander vs. Cruz thing.

But this proves my "liberal college professor" point. You keep threatening to have me zotted for being against gay marriage, Kelo, and amnesty. That's not a conservative value.

I am younger than you.

Then you should be checked for blood clots or a stroke.

I'm just not a person who believes in changing all my core beliefs because of media glitz. Romney lost in 2012. I don’t see how a repeat of 2012 is going to turn out better in 2016.

Yeah, because Mitt Romney is anything like Trump. LOL! Romney despises Trump, Trump is the antithesis of Romney.

Trump is not a conservative. He's a populist and a nationalist, and right now, that's what we need.

I wrote this to Levin.

Dude: Read and heed this short essay. I intend to write an editorial, called “Trump is NO Conservative.”

And he’s not. He’s a populist. Populists draw some from liberal and some from conservative positions. Basically, as you know, they are nationalist and pro-individual-rights.

I lament the fact that we cannot get a conservative as a winner in the 2016 election. But you know what?

Populist is enough.

It is way better than the globalists/elitists that have infiltrated both parties.

Trump is good on the Second Amendment and on Immigration. That’s good enough, for me, for now.

He even threw in some fairly constructionist SCOTUS Judge potential-nominees. To me that’s a bonus.

Let us work first on stabilizing the patient we call America. THEN we can work on the rest of the platform.

It’s called ‘triage’, bro. Read this and heed my words, I think I have a straight view here.
And, read this: The New Battle Lines: Elitist Vs. Us.

Perhaps then you will have a clearer view on why Trump appeals to some of us, even if you don't agree.

Stuff and nonsense. If I observe that repeated DUI will land you in jail, have I threatened to imprison you?

Is Mark Levin that freakin’ stupid? Bernie supporters are angry. Hillary is their enemy. He’s trying to divide Bernie supporters from eventually backing Hillary.

How in the world can anyone listen to Mark Levin. His voice is annoying enough.

Cruz must be hoping Hillary wins and he thinks he’ll finally achieve his true annointed destiny in 2020.

The fact that the USA we all loved might be just a figment of our imagination by then probably doesn’t factor into his thoughts of his own impending greatness.

Imgine...you truly thought you were chosen by God and then it doesn’t happen. How do you reconcile that?

Levin can’t really be that stupid. Can he?

I don’t think Trump has said anything about Cruz. Cruz is irrelevant. Bernie, however, isn’t yet.

Not being a lawyer, I recognize my shortcomings, but this nbc stuff is so plain to see, plus if all is well, why all the “sealing?”

“The longer Sanders remains a viable candidate, the more this will damage Hillary. The more dissension in the democrat ranks, the better. Trump is being smart here. I wonder why the brilliant Levin can’t see this.”

Exactly, even a blind man can see this. I know Mark knows this but I think he has an ulterior motive to continue bashing Trump.

I’m not too sure about how brilliant a Constitutional Scholar Levin is .. he’s never willing to debate anyone who doesn’t agree with him. So what does that show of his “brilliance?”

His girlfriend is a major Cruzbot. Have you seen her? I guess he’d rather be engaged to her than single and miserable.

I’ve heard that libertarianism carried to its logical extreme MUST allow abortion. Have you ever heard that?

I just watched the movie The Caine Mutiny and Mark is reminding me of Captain McQueeg. Mark is losing his marbles.
