For clarity’s sake, the first statement was not mine, but is a quote from the article.
Well Jim? What say you?

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

I try to not be like Biden either, by staying sober.... Hadn’t thought about the plagiarist angle.
Opportunist and demagogue.
Here’s the deal, for decades you all trusted your skeezy uncle Gope. But, on your 14th b’day he started to treat you like Akbar’s favorite goat..every week, since 1988.
The hate, anger, and humiliation has turned to cynicism. You dont believe in non disfunctional. In order to survive, you seek a stronger skeeze to waste your uncle. You all know what Trump is, you’re just to damned scared to win. You’ve pussed out on Liberty.
The establishment is frightened to death that Trump will win, but not because they believe he will harm the nation. They are afraid he will upset their taxpayer-subsidized apple carts. While Obama threatens to veto legislation that spends too little, they worry that Trump will veto legislation that spends too much.
You can be certain that if an establishment candidate wins in November 2016, ... [their] cabinet positions will be filled with the same people we’ve seen before. The washed-up has-beens of the Clinton and Bush administrations will be back in charge. The hacks from Goldman Sachs will continue to call the shots. Whether it is Bush’s Karl Rove or Clinton’s John Podesta, who makes the decisions in the White House will matter little. If the establishment wins, America loses.
How many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollers and focus groups, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states???
You are the very first person who has said to me trump did not mean what he said. “We keep common core”.
Ok
If Mark Levin actually said tonight, there is not much difference between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. There is not much difference between Carville and Levin/Beck!
I listened to Sanders NH Victory Speech and I listened to Hillary’s so called concession Speech.
The sycophant Audience member reaction responding to those Speeches, especially Bernie the Bolshevik’s was beyond Scary.
If you find Trump scarier than Sanders this Country is in bigger trouble than I ever could have imagined.
Superb...BTT!
I’ve been saying it for several months. The people are totally fed-up with the corrupt/inept political class and are rebelling. Trump is leading the charge and the people are loving his no-nonsense, non-politically-correct, take-no-prisoners approach. His America first message is resonating and he’s rewriting all the rules. Unless he suddenly crashes and burns, it’s going to be mighty hard to defeat him. Even for a great conservative like Cruz. If Trump pulls out a win in South Carolina it could be all over. Looks like he also has a great shot in Nevada and then on to Super Tuesday. But there’s going to be a lot of ground to cover. I don’t think the candidates are going to be able to put in as much personal attention to all those states and are going to need big bucks for organizations and advertising. This could be a disadvantage for Trump unless he opens it up for donations or decides to layout some big dollars himself.
But who knows? Maybe just being the outspoken rebel in the race could see him through? It’s not like he has a problem staying in the center of the news 24/7.
Donald Trump has done more in 4 months than Levin has done in 6 years. What a idiotic comparison a capitalist against a Marxist.
Pray America wakes
Stopped reading there.
Levin the screamer is more like Beck than Trump will ever be like Bernie.
At least he left off ‘original intent’ constitutional Conservative party...
Get the hell back to DU where you belong.
