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".
I can’t help but think that Drudge got some cash tossed Annie’s way by his anti-Trump benefactors, but there was a critical point back in Trump’s initial run when she was backing Trump while Levin was trashing Trump.
