I can’t make sense of what’s become of Levin. A lot of people think he sold out for money, but that doesn’t wash. Mark’s personal fortunes would be soaring right now if he were solidly behind the people’s nominee.
Instead, the ratings for his show have fallen badly, and his book sales have slowed a lot. Do people really believe he accepted some sort of large payoff to oppose Trump the way he’s doing? I don’t buy that at all.
My personal theory is that he’s simply imploded, mentally.
He illustrates the danger of being a rigid ideologue.
