Mark Levin aka "The Great One" has always been a great constitutional conservative and great friend of Free Republic. Doesn't post much anymore but has had an account here (holdonnow) from nearly the beginning. He stood up for FR when his good friend Hannity was running us down. Also when O'Reilly accused us of not moderating our forum good enough against racism.
I hate to see our good friend getting trashed on FR. I understand why people are upset with him over his position against Trump, but best advice I can give is if you can't stand him, don't listen. I had to quit listening to Beck several years ago after he went nuts, and now rarely tune in Limbaugh. I click on the Mark Levin Show, maybe once per week, just to see if our old trusted ally is back. Sadly, he's still missing in action.
I pray that Rush and Mark come to their senses pretty soon and realize that the primaries are over and the great constitutional conservative Ted Cruz lost. Badly.
We can't go back and we cannot replace our candidate. It's Trump or Hillary. We have to do all we possibly can to make sure Hillary is defeated! And that starts with not bad-mouthing OUR candidate.
There are no do overs and no crying in politics.
Notice that I said "OUR" candidate. This is not like when the GOPe with their big donor bucks installed one of their own sure-losers as the Republican candidate (McCain, Romney, et al) and then told us to suck it up. Which most of us did, even Levin and Limbaugh, because we knew the damage that Obama would do to our country. And he did. And Hillary's damage will be even more severe because she'll be building on Obama's slide into godless socialism and she'll have an immediate shot at packing the courts with godless liberal activists. These judges will be with us for a lifetime. And their rulings for generations. She'll also grant amnesty and voting rights to millions of illegals and throw open our borders to millions more. And then fling the borders wide open for the Muslims. Yup. Sharia law would be coming to a country near you. And the failing Obamacare? No problem. HillaryCare's single payer system will straighten that right out. And she'll save our planet from "climate change" by killing off all our capitalist industries.
Trump was voted in by we the rebellious grassroots voters who are sick and tired and fed up and said NO MAS to the political ruling class and their open borders donors.
This is a voter rebellion and Trump is OUR champion.
We fully intend to crush Hillary and the uniparty in November and reclaim America for AMERICANS!!
Why did we choose Trump to be our champion:
Secure the borders. Build the wall. Enforce the law. End sanctuary cities. Do whatever is humanly possible in deporting as many illegals as we possibly can and or dry up their prospects by enforcing the law and many of them will leave on their own volition.
Slap a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration until we can find out what in the hell is going on! Meanwhile, bomb the shit out of ISIS. And take their oil. And find out what's going on in the mosques.
Rebuild the military!
Throw out Obama's illegal/unconstitutional executive orders and executive agreements. Repeal Obamacare!
Get a handle on trade deals and make sure Americans come first!
Cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the regulations, cut the government; return the powers and functions reserved to the states back to the states per the constitution and the 10th amendment.
And it's not just about the constitution and national security:
End the ridiculous war on coal, gas & oil, bring back manufacturing. Drill, baby, drill; mine, baby, mine; build, baby, build, farm, baby, farm, produce, baby, produce. The Business of America is business.
Strengthen our economy and create a business friendly environment!
Jobs, baby, jobs!!
Set our people free and let them produce and prosper!!
This is the voter rebellion we've all been longing for. Even bigger than the tea party. Pray Levin and Rush join us. We need their full-throated support to ensure the defeat of the corrupt, America-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating Hillary and the election of OUR candidate. Donald Trump!!
One of the slogans from the America revolution was:
Join or die!!
Another:
Don't tread on me.
And who can forget:
Give me Liberty or give me death!!
Awesome, and thank you for that.
He won’t have helped Trump get elected, either. If he’s not part of the solution, he’s part of the problem.
Oh for heavens sakes, I’ve listened to Levin. I know exactly what he’s saying and what condescending tone he’s using to say it.
Rush says he will be voting Trump.
It’s just that he, and most of his guest hosts, don’t like Trump or his supporters.
Buck Sexton, filling in for Rush today, again had on his friend who was “formerly in the NSA.” This friend states each time how both Hillary and Trump are fully compromised by the Russians, with Hillary hiding it and Trump proudly showing it, apparently due to his ego. Seriously, this guy says this.
obviously you need to listen to Levin’s show more. He’s said many a time that for a republican to support Hillary Clinton is insane. He obviously does support trump, but not with any enthusiasm because he is a man that trashes others that have principles. Levin is a smart man, and one of the beest talk show hosts in the business. Whether you agree or not with him, he stands on principle.
Wow that might explain some of the shenanigans...
Maybe the article will turn up again.
Thank you for bringing attention to this issue, which I also hope and pray can be resolved soon. I have listened to Mark Levin every single night for years on my long drive home from work every evening, often then listening further after I got home, because he was my favorite on air commentator. Ted Cruz was my favorite politician, as well, and when the primary started my hope was that even if Cruz didn’t win the nomination, his prominence would rise.
My honest opinion is that both men have been brought to their knees by their own selfish interests. I remember the exact days that each lost control of their own destiny, as I’m sure others who follow such things closely do as well.
Levin’s misstep was the night he went in full meltdown on air when it was leaked by someone that his son in law worked for the Cruz campaign, something that Levin should have acknowledged, but had kept secret. Levin went berserk and said that night he was “now part of the nevertrump movement” and he’s ground his axe on Trump ever since that night, the fate of America be damned.
Cruz was exposed the night he sided with the violent liberal mob in Chicago that was attacking Trump supporters for no reason other than they were coming to see Trump speak. Rather than use this as an opportunity to show that the left in this country is violently out of control, Cruz couldn’t help himself from attacking Trump instead. He’s also since used comparatively petty complaints about family insults as an excuse to put the future of the whole country at risk.
None of this is to say that Trump is perfect, and he is certainly a flawed character himself. But what Trump has consistently done, is to convince people that he truly cares about the future of America. He has a LOT of skin in this game, his billon dollar empire is at risk. Meanwhile Levin and Cruz have come across as petty and selfish, who put themselves above the future of the country. And Freepers are smart enough to see it.
A Hillary supporter? Again, you know nothing.
Well you certainly are not a Trump supporter. If you’re not with Trump you are with Hillary and her SCOTUS. Good evening.
I have never been a very big fan if Levin but I certainly agree with you on Cruz. He is a huge disappointment to me. I think I will write him and tell him how I feel. Cruz could turn it all around with me and a lot of others if he would just endorse Trump.
obviously you need to listen to Levin’s show more. He’s said many a time that for a republican to support Hillary Clinton is insane. He obviously does support trump, but not with any enthusiasm because he is a man that trashes others that have principles. Levin is a smart man, and one of the beest talk show hosts in the business. Whether you agree or not with him, he stands on principle.
Nonsense. Levin undermines Trump on a daily basis by intentionally trying to depress support for him. He directly belittles and smears Trump supporters on a daily basis.
Only fellow traveling sore loser Cruzers don’t notice Levin’s non support of Trump and deaming treatment of Trump supporters. Saying you will vote for somebody and then trashing them for the MONTHS on while lazily repeating media talking points is not supporting a candidate.
Sexton is a Glenn Beck acolyte!
Very well said, sir!
I too am hoping Levin & Rush (to name a few) come around and support the Republican candidate that won the nomination.
After 2 terms from the usurper, our republic very well might not survive the criminal who would further his agenda and no doubt push three or four 50 year old progressive liberal jurists to SCOTUS.
I’ve listened to Mark faithfully for years until a few months ago...I’ve even met him at a couple of events..
Round about the time Mark started his new TV show he got really nasty about Trump...
that week I had considered paying to watch the show which appeared to be very good...
however I was shocked at his attitude about Trump and sadly had to change my mind...
BTW I had gone to a Cruz rally last August and was going to vote for him or Trump until Cruz went all weird and Beckish...
Jim, you should listen to Rush more... That way you’d find out that he’s fully on board with Trump.
***********************************************************************
I listen every day until I have to turn it off as it’s VERY apparent Rush wants Trump to crash and burn...and has until day one....very very sad....
sincerely,Long Time listener
Oh wow, I really wasn’t addressing you, I was addressing Mr. Robinson, the owner! And yes, I think there were an awful lot of rude people trashing Mark Levin and others on here, and on Facebook, as I said! You do realize that Donald Trump isn’t Superman, he’s not The Lord either? He is capable of doing and saying things that make people mad, and he has! Guess what? People such as Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh do have the right to their opinion, and you have the right to your’s and to disagree! As I said, SOME of Donald’s supporters were some of the rudest, bossiest, obnoxious people on the net; and that’s MY opinion, OK?
I see from your tagline you’re from Texas, my whole family tree is growing there and not a one of them is a Cruz supporter anymore, either. It’s a shame, because some of them believed in him so much they not only voted for him back in that historic Senate primary, but donated money to him on more than one occasion since.
But Texans are a good judge of character, and Cruz has turned out to be more hat than cattle. One of the biggest turn offs was how he was sneakily trying to steal delegates from Trump, and then go out and claim he won state primaries by “landslides” when not one single person voted in states like Colorado. It started making us uncomfortable, we didn’t want to be known as a proponent of someone who shamelessly stole the election, which it appeared he was trying to do.
Both Levin and Cruz can win some hearts back, but they may have waited too late at this point. Yeah, whatever, would probably be my reaction, unless I see some hardcore campaigning for Trump, which would be needed to make up for the trashing they’ve done so far. And I wasn’t even a Trump fan to begin with, but if you stick to the issues he’s still better than Romney or McCain who I ended up voting for.
I see just the opposite - so you really think he wants the Beast to win?
What I hear is him escoriating the Beast and defending Trump from attacks from the left EVERY DAY.
You and I are certainly on the same page!
I read also where Mark Levin praised Donald’s speech, and honestly critiqued it as well! He wasn’t there yet as far as endorsing him, but he did have honest praise for his speech. I guess we’ll have to see, huh?
