I can see 2016 from my house and I don't like what I'm seeing
Lauren Stephens ^ | January 22, 2016 | Lauren Stephens

January 22, 2016

Dear Mr. Levin,

My name is Lauren Stephens. I’ve been involved in politics for a long time – mostly just as a pissed off American, but I am also the owner of Conservative Campaign Consulting. I do not work for any of the Presidential Campaigns. I am not coordinated with any of them. I have not spoken to any of them. I am not being paid by anyone for this.

First off, I would like to let you know that I have been a huge fan and follower of yours since probably about 2007 or 2008. I have several, but not all, of your books. They are really good stuff. I have even downloaded the majority of your podcasts.

Mr. Levin, for years, I have had nothing but the utmost respect for you. Your word has always been your bond. If you doubt my sincerity, you can ask a former co-worker of yours from the Reagan Administration, Dixie Cassell. You could ask a real patriot, C Steven Tucker, from the Chicago area. You could ask a lot of people. They know me.

For years, you have been a champion of We The People, and maybe today, you still believe that you are. But at this point, I beg to differ. Not because I want to, but because I believe I have a little bit more inside information than you have on certain issues surrounding the Presidential race. And the GOP.

I hope you will keep in mind, my respect and admiration for you, before you respond – IF you respond. Although I am angry, I come to you without malice. I am here simply because I know of no other way to get this message to you.

Yes, all we need to do is trust him. He is going to make great deals.
Ugh, PT Barnum was right and FR is proving it.

“..That you could pull a guy out of the Morning Zoo program, a nomad from one city’s morning zoo to another city’s morning zoo, and he can turn into a conservative talk show host? At age 40?? While others worked on it solely for decades, applying themselves and learning and preparing and understanding, because they paid attention, current events and history.”

As opposed to a man who could turn into a conservative presidential candidate at age 60? The difference between Beck and Trump is that Beck was never a liberal talk show host - unlike all y’all’s messiah Trump, who actually ran for president once (and not that long ago) as liberal, and an enthusistic supporter of partial birth abortion at that.

I’m not all that big a Cruz guy, and i really don’t care for Beck; Still, You Trump people are so obtuse and un-self aware that it makes me like them that much more.

I had expected better of Cruz, but everyday there is a new revelation of his deceit.

I agree; however, I was reading Steyn on Line tonight, and the immigration issue as he sets it out is just about a one issue , existential question. If Trump were trustworthy to hold to what he has said , it would outweigh almost anything else . Is he more reliable than Cruz to be steadfast?

Someone up this thread mentioned “Paid Assassin” and that sounds like what this woman is. I guess time will tell, but I looked up Lauren Stephens and found this: http://rightondaily.com/2015/10/sb277-update-the-sad-shrinking-world-of-lauren-stephens/
which indicates, if it is the same person, that she is not a credible source of information.

"Thanks for posting this. It is an informative letter backed up with links. That false ad from Cruz that portrays Trump as taking an Atlantic City house from an old lady, when she still owns the house is a perfect example."

Side note: The lady passed away and her son sold the house for 500k, Trump had offered 2M which was way above the market value of the house.

I can't believe Cruz would stoop so low as to lie about the house.

What Trump has said about immigration is:

1. He will build a wall ( Cruz agrees so no difference )
2. He will grant touch back amnesty making 11m illegals legal. Cruz opposes touch back amnesty.

Anyone concerned about illegal immigration should be supporting Cruz and not the Donald.

The natural born citizen/birther thing may be the list of Cruz’s problems. Election dirty tricks, electioneering and election law violations (like the unreported checks, where millions of dollars Cruz RECEIVED were paid off by THIRD PARTIES)and other of his sleazy questionable deals, which are coming more and more to light every day, may be his undoing.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

Is this the stabbing that you are referring to?

[Cruz's response to a question in a private meeting]
"You look at Paris, you look at San Bernardino, it's given a seriousness to this race, that people are looking for: Who is prepared to be a commander in chief? Who understands the threats we face?"

He went on: "Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that's a question of strength, but it's also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them."

“That false ad from Cruz that portrays Trump as taking an Atlantic City house from an old lady, when she still owns the house is a perfect example.”

The ad portrays Trump’s attempt to take the house and he would have, except he was stopped by the Institute for Justice winning the case. That’s why she still owns the house. If Trump would have won, it would be gone.

Thank you for the interesting link. Lauren is brilliant.

Paul Ryan. “I cannot think of any other person who has done more damage to the GOP and Conservative values than him.”

Donald Trump. “The truth is, he has donated to MANY many wonderful incumbents and candidates. Trump is not a new Republican.”

Ted Cruz. “Mr. Cruz, please, show us what a real conservative you are and tell your donors you are going to cut them off if they elect you.”

Marco Rubio. “I believe someone in the establishment purposely set that up those two - Trump and Cruz - to fight so it would clear the field for their chosen one, Marco Rubio. Sadly, Cruz fell for it.”

Mark Levin. “I am very upset that people affiliated with Cruz are now fraudulently claiming that Trump is now a favorite of the establishment. How does anyone believe such nonsense?”

I am thankful for learn about Laura and read a clear analysis of different candidates with solid research.

I’m not wasting more time on raw sewage, especially from a writer such as this, already implicated in election irregularities.

Sessions doesn’t disagree with you and Congressman Steven King agrees with you. That’s pretty good company

Senator Sessions more or less wrote Trump’s immigration policy. You might want to read it.

The lady makes good points, especially questioning whether Ted thinks he's above the law.

Personally, I believe anyone who makes it through Princeton then Harvard is positive they're above the law but YMMV.
