My remarks are predicated on knowledge of Mark Levine rather than Hannity or Limbaugh on radio. My conclusion is that this wrangle is really only about timing.

No one has been more explicit or more effective in attacking the establishment of the Republican Party than Mark Levin. In hour after hour he has identified by name those in the party among those who are elected and those in the media who fought against the nomination and election of Ronald Reagan. Mark Levin's personal credentials as a foot soldier in the Reagan campaign and later in the Reagan administration are indisputable. Mark Levin more than any other public figure in my judgment has drawn the indictment against the GOPe.

When Donald Trump came along he seemed like short-term an answer to decades long frustrations. A dream come true. Let this bull in the china shop breaks some GOPe China, let him crash down the walls of political correctness, let him refocus the attention of the nation on the critical issue of immigration.

The talk radio hosts of Salem have been far too cozy with the GOPe and far too tame Republicans. Now their bedfellows criticize the likes of Mark Levine for not turning on Trump soon enough. I agree with the criticism but I do not agree with the idea that the timing is off because of greed or other nefarious motives.

Mark Levin has turned against Trump as Trump revealed himself for what he is, something other than a conservative, a narcissist, an opportunist who opposes conservatives from the left, a man who is too risky to put at the top of the ticket (the last conclusion is mine). Should Mark Levin have turned against Trump sooner? Yes but his sin is one of timing and the sins of those who cozied up to the GOPe are far worse. Those who cannot see through Donald Trump are not sinners, they are fools. Those who support Donald Trump and turn against every other conservative with a venom and meanness of spirit that substitutes invective for argument are sinners.

Today, Mark Levine is not our problem, Donald Trump is.

Disagree 100%.

The Revolution will not succeed if we switch out the captain’s chairs on the Titanic. We need to rebuild the boat.

But I don’t listen to Levin. Never have. For one thing, the analysis he SEEMS to offer in what I’ve read is relatively shallow “conservative/liberal.” We are way, way beyond those labels. All the “conservatives” in Washington, including Cruz have either gleefully advanced the leftist agenda or pretend-fought while advancing it (Cruz’s vote on TPP and Corker, for example).

Trump is threatening to take down BOTH establishment media structures at once, singlehandedly.

Yep! True FReepers, will come to regret throwing Ted Cruz under the bus in their fanatical support of Donald Trump. At least Mark Levin never threw Cruz and Carson under the bus at Trump's bidding like many here have done! It is so sad to see.
