Mark directed my attention to a few of the cons re: Tillerson nomination. I'll admit, he did deflate my sails a bit. But, I believe deservedly so. I think I allowed myself to enamored by the hype a bit. Lurking were the negatives in the back of my mind and Mr F Lee Levin, with surgeon-like precision, cut through.

I've seen some of the pros. However, I can't escape what lays before my eyes that has me gravely concerned about this appointment. I've noticed praise from every corner. Catching no flak? Not over target.

Without lambasting each other as never Trumpers or Trumpists, can you please post what you think are pros and cons to this nomination.

AUDIO is the MUST LISTEN. I strongly encourage you to reserve comment until you've LISTENED TO THE AUDIO of Mark making the conservative case.

Levin is beginning to sound hysterical.

Maybe if he wasn’t hysterical about 90% of Trumps picks I would give him a listen but perpetually angry and this is just more anger. He should create a new party with Elizabeth Warren called the “perpetually angry” party.

Trump doesn't believe in global warming. And Trump is the one who hopefully will be in charge if he beats all these attempts by the media Obama and Hillary and never trumpers to steal the presidency from him with all these “Russian Hacking” lies.

Trump will be president if he beats the media coup and lies and then Trump will say what goes ok?

Levin’s anomosity for Trump certainly surprises me.

And he is not someone whose opinions I would easily dismiss...

The disconnect is disturbing. I would have thought he would be insanely happy and hoping for a newt Reagan admin.

Ain’t Levin still effectively a #nevertrumper?

Simple response.

Who should be the pick then Levin?

If you want to play the guilt by associations an accusation game. Tilleson is catching flack form the leftists in the US House and Senate as well the GOP Establishment clowns McCain/Garham.

Why is Levin siding with the Leftist clown posse on Tilleson? Might it be Levin is not really interested in fact and reason but just looking for his next thing to mindlessly bitch at Trump about?

Additionally, his close relationship with Vladimir Putin is a major cause for concern.

Why is this a concern?

Mark Levin is irrelevant and his opinions don’t matter anymore. He is starting to sound like the left. He is still butthurt from losing the election.

I am sure Levin blasted him. Maybe he deserved it, maybe not. The problem is, I no longer trust Levin's judgement when it comes to anything Trump related. He ripped Trump at every turn all through the election until a few weeks before, then "supported" him in a grudging and halfhearted way (i.e. "look, he's not a conservative and populism is a disaster but we can't have Hillary in... yadda yadda yadda"), always with that caveat that Trump's not good but he's not as bad as Hillary.

Then when it was all over, he had the chutzpah to start talking about HE was going to hold Trump's feet to the fire and make demands. I tuned him out most of the time but heard enough. I just don't trust Levin to be objective regarding anything Trump says or does, frankly.

I stopped listening to Levin many moons ago.
His love for the Constitution was trumped by his love for a Cubanadian.

Tillerson will be working for Trump (who is working for us).
He doesn’t have to be ideologically pure.
I don’t care if he’s as confused as Hank Rearden.
He has the skills. And Trump thinks he’ll do.

Levin has gone the way of Glen Beck.

He’s an ideologue with no sense of pragmatism.

Professional complainers can just put forward a name if they hate this guy so much.

But we all know the names they would put out are of people you could just as easily apply the same stuff towards.

Better to just complain. Less responsibility.

Newt says he's a great pick because he knows everyone and knows how to negotiate from the top. It IS about making deals!!

Madelene was oblivious to everything.

Hillary was nothing more than a war monger.

Kerry is a pussy....and totally owned by Obama.

Each one of them have "negotiated" in favor of the enemy.

Like many people here I am through with open borders Mark Levin. That makes us all antisemites.

No I won’t listen to the old fart’s foaming at the mouth rants.
