I served in the Reagan administration eight years, and I worked to get him elected in 76 and 80, Levin recalled. There were times we felt, some of us, that he was pulling in the wrong direction. There was actually a group of us that would get together I forget if it was Wednesdays, or whenever it was to try and figure out what to do about it. We would criticize our president, who we loved dearly.
People need to understand something: Everybody is imperfect, he noted. Were imperfect. Our presidents are imperfect. You dont treat them like deities. If you really want to help your president, you criticize him. It doesnt mean you trash-mouth him. It doesnt mean you sabotage him. Thats not what were talking about. We want him to succeed.
It doesnt help Donald Trump any more than it would have helped Ronald Reagan to pretend, or paper over fundamentals here, and the fundamental is that the president campaigned on building a wall, he argued. Now, it doesnt have to be brick-and-mortar every step of the way. We got that. Were not stupid. We understand he cant put a wall on a river. But its supposed to be physical barriers.
He also said a couple of weeks ago that he would shut down the government if theres not wall funding, and I said that hes figured it out. Reagan shut down the government six times, and he didnt back off. He wanted that MX missile Trident system, and he insisted on it. He wanted them to cut government spending, and he insisted on it. He went to the American people and he explained to them exactly what he was doing six times, Levin pointed out.

The only way the President of the United States can get that wall funding is if hes prepared to stare down his party and it is his party, by the way. He took over the party, now take damn control over the party stare down the Democrats, stare down the media, and say: I am not going to continue to fund all these left-wing things like Planned Parenthood and all the rest. I want my wall, and I told the American people, we had a vote. I won the election, and thats what were going to do, Levin declared.

Fake news. Trump doesn’t make mistakes.
Let’s see what shakes out before we get all angered and bent out of shape.
Who is an idiot?
Mark Levin is an idiot.
Mark (#neverTrump) Levin is still up to his same old shit from last year.
Mark, you lost me last year.
I don’t pay attention to you any longer.
While you may have a point here, you no longer have a voice that I listen to.
Many of us tried to tell you what was going to happen if you kept it up.
Hey, it is what it is.
Go in your closet and shout to your heart’s desire.
Schumer to Pelosi to Steve King, Never Trumper extraordinaire for dissemination.
Trump said there was no deal cut, what is up with people insisting on spreading this crappy #fakenews??

Actually for smart people the conclusions they come to are pretty lame. Trump has done nothing yet except prove to everyone that Schumer and Pelosi are not trust worthy. But the ire of the right is misdirected toward Trump and not the real problem which is Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and the establishment they represent, ie the do nothing leadership of Congress. They are the problem and deserve the ire for trump dealing with adversaries. Although there is another possibility; If they are not stupid or lame on their conclusions they are intentionally trying to discredit Trump with supporters because they are part of the establishment problem.

Even a huger mistake to jump the gun. We hired Pres. Trump to get things done. He has done about as much as he can (Legally!) by himself. It appears that big “R” isn’t going to be of much use legislating (Not a big suprise!) so Pres. Trump is going to play the whole field and see what he can get done. Levin and all the other heavy breathers are underestimating the man! He’s a quick learner so give him some time folks! It took a couple decades to get it all this mucked up.

There was no deal ... fools like Levin and Coulter actually believed the lies Pelosi and Schumer told ... which only proves Levin and Coulter are not very bright.

TRUMP IS BRILLIANT! This bi-partisan chatting prevents the die-hards to rail against him, it lets the AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW that he is all about making a good deal for us and is not going to let some SOB POMPOUS A. Who thinks he is a LORD (as in England’s House of Lords) Mitch McConnell who is too damned dumb to use the best option he has ( the majority only vote... stupid fool that he is - FIRST YOU STOP THE BLEEDING, MITCH Ol’ BOY and then we worry about what the DEMS would do with that option ... also stupid mitch... YOU are just handing control of Senate over to them if you keep failing like you are doing. I have no words for PAUL RYAN...I want to pinch his head off every time I hear him lie.
KEEP the FAITH DEPLORABLES... This man can fight off all of these dopey foes with one or two actions and he’s doing it. BELIEVE... We might have to make sure MITCH is voted out first...we will get the wall !!!!
Deal or No Deal....No deal. There has been no deal.
Joyless Mark Levine doesn’t impress me. For whatever reason he completely missed the boat with the Trump candidacy.
So many think his Constitutional Convention solution is the cat’s meow, but there are actually better and more immediate ways of restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.
100% true. Saying that making a deal with Pelosi is like making a deal with the Devil would be an insult to the Devil.
Well we know for sure Trump didn’t “cut DACA deal with Pelosi and Schumer”. That is an outright lie. It DID. NOT. HAPPEN.
Trump walks away from bad deals.
So we must think that Chuck & Nancy went running to have dinner at the White House for no deal. And we have to ignore Trump’s Nancy approved tweets as well.
