I appreciate knowing that, not that I followed your thoughts
on him over time, but as I state in my post above, it really
has bothered me how many folks still like the guy.

He and his buds Beck and Levin both set the stage for the
party to be able to refuse to help Trump over the last
four years. It cost us Ryan and McConnell doing next to
nothing when we had the majority.

Look at the action being taken now, and remember we had that
same opportunity four years ago. In fact we had something
like a 51 or 52 seat majority at the time.

They did nothing.

That NeverTrump angle really hurt our cause. We’re paying
for it right now, big time.

I don’t like Beck, there is something wrong about him so I have never listened to him, but I will part ways with you in your assessment of Mark Levin.

I keep hearing on FR that Levin is a “NeverTrumper”, but I listen to Levin frequently, and once Trump became the nominee, never heard Levin bash Trump unfairly. Sure, he criticized him when it was justified, because as wholeheartedly as I feel that Trump was one of the best conservative Presidents this country has ever seen-ever-he wasn’t infallible. He made mistakes too.

That said, I did hear Levin defend Trump often and passionately, especially when he was taking action and following up on promises.

I understand that many people on FR view Mark Levin as an opponent of Trump, but I don’t see it and am puzzled by it. He has been lavish in his praise and support, and judicious in his criticism.

I always assumed that the people who think Levin was a “NeverTrumper” during the Administration may have not been listening to Levin since the Primaries, or since then, had been hearing from other outlets or sources who either took Levin’s comments out of context, or...made up Levin’s “NeverTrumpism” out of whole cloth or simply perpetuated the impression.
