Looks like Levin is converting true original meaning and definition of Natural Born Citizen (born to two married citizen parents on American soil) to Citizen (you pick what suits you). What’s next, test tube artificially inseminated born in the ambulance born “natural citizen”?
Yeah! Constitution and laws need to be modified to suit current screw-ups.
Obama isn’t enough proof of disaster of not sticking to wisdom of Founding Fathers?

Yours and my political history is on a firmer ground than that of a Billionaire international businessman. You and me go by what agenda we desire and stick to it. A large business operates to make a profit, in a fiercely competitive real world main street economy. Therefore the business decisions are made purely from a business point of view. That includes contributing to whichever politician with the power to throw obstacles in your business. Those decisions may not have any connection to what the business owner really favors as his agenda. That would put him/her out of business very fast.

You Cruzbots accuse Trump of stealing Cruz’s platforms, and then call Trump a liberal. Doesn’t that also make Cruz a liberal, since you are so sure that Trump has plagarized St. Ted’s issues. Deal with it!

Mark Levin’s fingerprints are all over this. I listened to Mark for over 9 years and have recently tuned him out as well as Rush. They have gone to the dark side with their mommying of Little Teddy. If he isn’t man enough to get in front of this citizenship issue, then he isn’t man enough to be President. He doesn’t need their skirts to hide behind, but, then again, maybe he just isn’t man enough to handle it without their kissing his wittle boo boos.

I know liberal Trump has flip-flopped on nearly every issue to try to convince the gullible into supporting him. Obviously that has worked with some but it hasn't worked with me.

So you're smarter than Sarah Palin, Jeff Sessions, Virgil Goode, Phyllis Schafly and Chuck Yeager combined?

We had no idea you were smarter than anyone else in the room.

It seems that Trump was just accusing Cruz of copying him - on an issue that Cruz was running on in 2012!

Yep. I figured out the connection a while back. (CR, RS, Madison Project, Hertitage’s Michael Needham, etc.).

VERY disappointed in Mark. He’s lost his way....like you said dark side. Rush has backed off...probably caught a lot of he## from listeners. He’s not as invested in the other websites. (I cancelled my 10 year Rush 24/7 membership, after that.)

When Rush and Levin came out as CRuz’s bouncers, when Trump commented on CRuz’s comments at the ‘super secret donor meeting’, it was not appealing. Made CRuz look small....and Rush and Mark look paid for.

Well, Ted is known as M2T - so, if Trump is a liberal and Ted is copying him, then it just makes sense that Ted is also a liberal.

Oh, and by the way - Ted never made building a wall part of his presidential campaign -not once until recently. He might have mentioned it when running for the Senate, but, not once did he bring it up until he got the memo from the RNC to mimic Trump. So he did. Cruz won’t build a wall, and has no intention of deporting anyone - he can’t - he’s owned by the COC and Goldman Sachs people. Trump was the first candidate to come out in favor of building a wall - not Cruz -

And, neither Rush or Levin smacked Cruz down for that - in fact, I don’t think either one of them even commented on it - other than to talk about what Trump said in retaliation. They are bought and paid for - and I’m done with both of them.

CR Editors = Mark Levin. No sale, Mark. You picked Michelle Bachman and Santorum over New Gingrich the last go around. You were wrong then and you are wrong now with your non-endorsement endorsement of Cruz. Mark says just vote Republican-Conservative. And look what that got us.

-— Mark says just vote Republican-Conservative -—

No. He understands that elections are of little consequence, which is why he almost single handedly began the Article V movement.

He was the first to rail against Boehner and McConnell’s failure to use the power of the purse.

Mark doesn’t just rehash headlines. He looks far down the road.

You don’t know what you are talking about.

He is not my hero nor my first choice for president.

I hate when blow yards with no facts or proof only yammering make statements that are fundamentally incorrect.

You have a nice night too. Good luck finding proof

CR Editors (aka Mark Levin) writes:

Syrian Refugees

On September 8, 2015, Trump said the following about the Syrian refugees: “I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis of what’s happening, you have to.” Just a day later he partially reversed course:

I think we should help, but I think we should be very careful because frankly, we have very big problems. We’re not gonna have a country if we don’t start getting smart.

Then he went on to promote a ban on Muslim immigration. This proposal set off an imbroglio within the political world that completely washed away the fact that Trump’s first thoughts were to follow the groupthink.

Conservatives need to know if Donald Trump is really the man who will put Americans first and demolish the “dummies” in Washington or if his lack of a coherent philosophy will lead him to reflexively parrot the very politically correct talking points he so vehemently assails and yet has so often adopted. Is Trump who we think he is on immigration or is he pragmatically trying to tap into a frustration to win the primary with a plan to revert to his original talking points after winning?


Trump didn’t actually reverse himself, he was trying to talk around Bill O’Reilly and was cut off. We didn’t even get to what “we have to” do. He didn’t say he would bring them here. That is the usual thing with the Bill O’Reilly show. The next day follow up if you read Trump’s full statement he qualified it with we should “possibly” help, “possibly”, but we have so many problems we need to fix.” I never heard Trump say we should bring them here. Mark is a special pleader for Ted Cruz and uses bad information against Trump. It is very clear there was no change in Trump’s immigration stance. If it was not for Trump, we wouldn’t even be talking about immigration.

I know Trump is a liberal, something you deny. But he's not your man. OK.
