Mark Levin has been trying to stay out of the conflict between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. He says he likes both men and has both on his show. But as Trump has escalated his birther attacks on Cruz, Levin has spent hours of airtime defending Cruz against these arguments...while studiously not mentioning who is making these arguments.
Well, it looks as though Levin has finally had enough, because ConservativeReview.com, of which he is editor in chief, has published a piece (that Levin has tweeted a link to) that exposes Donald Trump's political inconsistencies, point by point.
Entitled Trump's Questionable Political History, the article talks about how Trump met with illegal alien activists in 2013 and said he was "convinced" to support amnesty. The article also quotes Trump saying he wanted to "expedite" the return of illegal aliens into the country and notes a quote that Trump simply had no opinion either way on the "Gang of 8" amnesty bill that Marco Rubio is being so criticized for.
The article also cites how on September 8 of last year, Trump was for bringing in Syrian refugees, but he changed his mind on the 9th.
Here's what author Daniel Horowitz also wrote:
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

“The article also cites how on September 8 of last year, Trump was for bringing in Syrian refugees, but he changed his mind on the 9th.”
I am very familiar with that one, and it is probably on a video somewhere. That was a case of Bill O’Reilly not giving Trump the time to finish a thought.
The next day’s supposed change was to finish what O’Reilly would not allow him to do the day before.
Has anyone ever witnessed Bill O’Reilly ever allow someone the time to complete a sentence or develop a thought by not interrupting. People usually explain various points about a subject in order to explain how they arrive at a conclusion about the subject, and then give their conclusion based on those aforementioned points. O’Reilly will nine times out of ten cut them off just as they arrive at the conclusion part. Hannity does that, but not nearly as bad. Limbaugh is the only one who allows people to make a point.
This example makes me pass on reading the article.
Levin was mulling out loud yesterday about when he would endorse a candidate, or in other words, when he should endorse Cruz.
Under Ted Cruz's own logic, he's ineligible for the White House
“Anyone who criticizes or attacks Trump is not a friend...”
Can you be serious? Have you been reading the posts of people who respond to Cruz being attacked?
They've made up their minds, don't bother them with facts. Don't bother to try, they only poke you in the eye and claim it was your fault!
A more rabid bunch I've never met (well, maybe Obama supporters in '08).
Only question I have is, are they up-to-date in their shots!
So. We’re going to have a bloodbath- destroy as many people as possible and let God Sort it out?
All for the sake of a manmade ideology that is a heresy to the Word of God and the very Teachings of Jesus Christ?
For the sake of blind ambition and ego and temper and spite?
It wasn’t so obvious last election, but this time it is more obvious that there are those who ARE NOT aiming to heal and restore America, but to break her. To bring her to the bitter end- and all of her citizens; guilty or blameless, with her.
Praise God. He Is Just! Have at it. This is not the work of upright and righteous men, but of the devil.
If you’ve heard one Levin show you’ve heard them all.
Trumpettes, like Peroistas, court no discussion.
Funny, I don’t see any “Trumpettes” spamming the board today about Ted Cruz’s “mental illness”.
“I remember when Levin and Beck were arch enemies. Levin even had mocking names for Beck Hannity also was on the outs with Beck.”
Yes, indeed...they made up about the time Beck got bought off by Levin’s favorite...Freedom Works, who is anything but conservative.
FOLLOW THE $$$.. “ Dick Armey said FreedomWorks paid Beck $1 million to say nice things about the group to raise more cash” http://www.thewire.com/politics/2013/01/dick-armey-sticks-his-freedomworks-payback-glenn-beck/60624/
So now Mark has TDS?
He was pushing Rubio last week because Rubio supports the Convention of the States.
Never mind that Rubio also supports amnesty.
RE: Under Ted Cruz’s own logic, he’s ineligible for the White House
Well, let’s put it this way.... the argument can go one way or another since the term “natural born” was not defined by the framers at all. All we can do today is discern the meaning of the term as originally understood.
Therefore, a person is entitled to change his mind.
Trump is a natural born leader and and a winner. The others blather. Trump will get it done.
Now I know why these guys never mention or pursue Obama’s birth issue. That said and according to them, even ‘IF’ Barack Obama was born in Kenya with his US citizen mother and non-US citizen father, he’s just as American as Ted Cruz.
I guess apologies to Barack Obama are in order...
Also explains why Jenny Beth came out against Trump so hard, soon after he announced and had such a YUGE positive response.
We also know that he is a full throated American patriot who will not be silenced by the media. He's not afraid to go after the false idols built up by the media and the political establishment in DC. He's the polar opposite of the PC, spineless, unprincipled shmucks currently running this country...into the ground.
What’s most interesting to me is that CR hit on Trump yesterday dovetailed exactly with the Cruz campaign talking points of the day. That timing couldn’t happen without some coordination between CR & the Cruz campaign. Will Levin be reporting this like & kind donation to the Cruz campaign?
The establishment want Cruz. They see him now, with his hidden campaign loans, as one of them. They are happy to wedge issue the requirement of birth on US soil. But when they had the chance to use it on the communist President from Kenya,they coward in the corner because he was black like they did on funding this $19 TRILLION debt in total capitulation. Now, Go TRUMP!!
Levin will lose half his audience like Beck. I already stopped listening. This is politics and Trump is only doing what the Dems will do if he wins..it’s clear Cruz can’t handle it so bring in Levin to try and save the day.
No country no conservatism. Cruz would never have brought up immigration himself and that’s what’s killing america
RE: Can you be serious? Have you been reading the posts of people who respond to Cruz being attacked?
Well, I can also write the same thing about Cruz supporters ( and I am one of them ).
The disappointment I have with this site is many folks refuse to argue the issue, preferring instead to attack the poster’s character, or write clever one-liners attacking a candidate’s sanity.
So, arguing that the other side does it too does not really help.
“Therefore, a person is entitled to change his mind.”
Unless it’s Donald Trump.....
Cruz is not ‘’being attacked’’. The truth that he’s concealed from people from the beginning is coming out. He brought that on himself by being a devious, sneaking, liar.
There is nothing hidden that won’t be revealed.
