Conservative Radio to Donald Trump: Like Ted Cruz or You Lose
The Daily Beast ^ | January 20, 2016 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 01/20/2016 6:43:33 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Conservative talk-radio stars gleefully watched as The Donald rubbed everyone in media and Republican circles the wrong way. But now that he's turned his fire on Cruz, they're picking sides--and it's not Trump's.

In a gentler, tenderer age--an age long gone--Donald Trump brought talk radio hosts together.

These were the simple, balmy days of last summer, when radio talkers agreed that even Trump performed an invaluable public service by driving national media and the Republican establishment totally out of their minds. But those days are gone....

Seems like some Cruz supporters have formed the ISIS branch of the Republican party and off with anyones head that is not a “true” believer.

Nobody represents you better than you. The Donald, other than building a wall and kicking the GOPee in the groin, multiple times, doesn’t do a good job of representing me beyond those.

Trump thoroughly destroyed any chance of them working together when he said that Cruz was worse than Hillary this morning. Trump is running to the left so fast at the moment that you won’t recognize him at all in another week.

“When they get up to his level through hard work and wise decisions...”

Mystifying, isn’t it?

And:

If Cruz were honest, he would not be running for president. If Constitutional expert Mark Levin were honest, he would be calling him out. Mark Levin’s persuasive technique is to get loud and obnoxious and abusive. It is a good thing he wasn’t around when the Constitution was written.

Why? Simple.

Conservatives reject liberal values.

Conservative talk thought Trump served a purpose.... but now he is going after the most conservative candidate for president to run in a long time, like a liberal....

In one week.
He has attacked a conservative like a liberal - alienating Conservative Cruz supporters.
He brought Palin on board - alienating liberal democrat supporters, and giving Saturday Night Live ammunition.

Another prediction about Trump that will never happen.

Trump needs conservative voters, not these “conservative” radio hosts. Beck and Levin lie to their listeners on a daily basis. They can take their opinions and go straight to hell.

Cruz was fighting for us while Trump was still buying Democrat politicians. Trump is rapidly losing any pretense of being a conservative and getting more in bed with the establishment each passing day.

That will be a considerable start and something the last two elections haven’t been able to accomplish. Washington politicians are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Dems and NWO. Trump is right, we need somebody at the helm that isn’t stupid, as all the others have shown themselves. Stupid and greedy to fill their pocketsWe have given the Republicans a mandate to stop Obama and his destruction of this country. All they have done is continue to give him the whole game and even more than he asked for. Time’s UP! Game over. A New Team will be playing pretty soon.

I had to stop listening to WSB AM750 radio because of the Trump bashing by that fatheaded Erick Erickson. In six more years they will have one hundred years on the air but they can get there without me listening.

What Rush and Levin don’t understand is that Trump supporters have enjoyed telling the media and the establishment to GTH because we are sick of being told what to think, how to act, what to do and how to vote. Levin and Rush are making a huge mistake because those same voters are starting to tell them to GTH as well. Rush has always been GOPe and easily impressed by fame and status, while Levin is a legend in his own mind. Levin’s audience is 90% Cruz voters anyway, so he can rant all he wants.

Cruz was fighting for us

Cruz, a first term Senator, was trying to pad his resume, and in the process fought for TPP, H1B Visas, doubling green cards, and legalization of illegals, before he was against them.

I would say that Cruz should stay in the Senate and get more experience and reearn some of the trust he's lost--especially in his campaign's apparent willingness to attack Palin right off the bat, but then I remember that he isn't even eligible in the first place. He's a damn Canuckistinian. Oh well.

“You need to take a crash course on the Constitution from Levin and and a course in debate logic from Ted Cruz.”

So he can end up whiny and boring?

Calling Cruz out is not running to the left. Cruz is a RINO and if you can’t see it, you haven’t been paying attention.

And, like it or not. Trump is a crony capitalist. You are betting the farm that he has turned against his own class in order to enjoy having the power of the Presidency. He seems to want to win: he just bought some Iowa votes with a promise to up the “Corn oil”subsidy.

So Mollypicther1 is a member of the bought and paid for (with mob money) Trump astroturfer brigade. No surprise there.
