Mark Levin is the smartest conservative on the air now. He is not only a constitutional scholar, he knows American history and recites amazing truths from memory. He carries a lot of clout with real conservatives. Move him from 6pm to high noon. He can’t replace Rush, nobody will. Among a good list on conservative voices, his is the voice we need most! He should now take Rush’s slot!
Mark is the perfect replacement, IMO, for Rush. The others could fill in for awhile, but a rock solid patriot that we could trust everyday with conservative opinions on everything would be Mark Levin. Many names mentioned have a good idea now and then but some "flyer" will occasionally pop out that doesn't fit. Mark has been around the block enough to have a solid opinion on literally everything.
I mentioned Candice Owens because everything she has said so far is brilliant and down the line, but I haven't heard her for 10 years expounding on every subject. Admittedly, most of her solutions have been about race relations, but she also have views on other things that sound conservative enough. Shapiro is another young voice as sharp as a tack and quick witted.
I keep thinking back to Anne Coulter and how brilliant I thought she was until she Shat in her mess kit. The beauty of Rush was he was right about everything until the day he died. Try to think back to the 80's to find something Rush was weak on or conservatives might disagree with. I can't think of anything. That's hard to do for over 30 years. I would hate to suggest Candace or Shapiro and something come up that they had the wrong opinion of due to their age. Levin has that experience. Even Newt Gingrich is usually the smartest guy in the room but he has said many things I disagreed with thinking he was being "reasonable".
He used to sub and has a nighttime show now (or at least thats when it airs in my market)
