Mark Levin: Huge Mistake for Trump to Cut DACA Deal with Schumer and Pelosi
Breitbart ^ | 15 Sep 2017 | John Hayward

Posted on 09/16/2017 2:21:57 PM PDT by conservative98

“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. “We’re imperfect. Our presidents are imperfect. You don’t treat them like deities. If you really want to help your president, you criticize him. It doesn’t mean you trash-mouth him. It doesn’t mean you sabotage him. That’s not what we’re talking about. We want him to succeed.”

“It doesn’t 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 doesn’t have to be brick-and-mortar every step of the way. We got that. We’re not stupid. We understand he can’t put a wall on a river. But it’s supposed to be physical barriers.”

“He also said a couple of weeks ago that he would shut down the government if there’s not wall funding, and I said that he’s figured it out. Reagan shut down the government six times, and he didn’t 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.

“Since 1974, the government has been shut down 20 times. It was shut down once in recent years when Cruz did his filibuster on Obamacare. It was never shut down under George W. Bush. For some reason, now we’re all supposed to be scared of a government shutdown. The Republicans talk about a debt crisis, the government will implode – no it won’t! It never has. The Republicans don’t even lose seats after the government shuts down,” he said.

“The only way the President of the United States can get that wall funding is if he’s 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 that’s what we’re going to do,’” Levin declared.

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.

Cruz was right to filibuster the passage of Obamacare on the grounds that once it passed, it would be extremely difficult to remove. The entire GOP senators should have joined him in filibustering instead of condemning him like they did.

Let's not wait to see what shakes out - we can't afford to be complacent. I'm doing my best to make my views known to the president and members of Congress right now, as should everyone else. They all need to know that there will be hell to pay if they think they can swindle their voters.

From the comments:

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.


Piano Lady • a day ago

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.


7PATTY_HENRY7 • a day ago

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 !!!!

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.

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.
