By the way, having a civil debate requires both sides to be civil. When someone arrogantly calls people that they do not know "retarded" because of differing views. I will speak out. I don't care if it is the thread of your hero or not.

I will speak my mind on what a sham Mark Levin has become. If that bothers you, touch luck. I listened to his show for over 6 years and am very disappointed in his shift to constantly campaigning for a particular candidate. It has become beyond tiresome. I never have heard Rush give an endorsement during the primary season. In fact, he goes out of his way to be fair. That way, he can debate the candidates views/action with some credibility.

You can check my previous posts where I said that I would feel the same way if he were doing the same for Rubio or Trump. Boring radio and we don't need someone tearing down the leader of our party because his guy is not in the lead.

I said before that I like Cruz, but I like Trump better. If you want my reasons, here they are:

1. He solely brought the illegal immigration problem to the fore. Other "Johnny come latelys" decided to join the party after they determined that it was safe politically.

2. Trump is taking on the establishment and Media by avoiding the PC crap. He speaks his mind (at times, not the best choice, at times he hits the right nerve).

3. Trump has cross appeal Reagan democrats that will help him in the general. Not saying that Cruz doesn't, but like Palin, the media will paint him as an extermist (I don't agree with that assessment, but that is what I believe will happen).

4. Trump is a business man and has extensive private sector experience. Cruz has been in government his whole life. When the debate switched to Trade and the Economy, he took it over. To the point of educating Neil Cavuto. To the contrary, Cruz is a lawyer and has little to no business experience.

5, Trump is not a lawyer. Too many lawyers in DC have brought us this mess.

6. Ted is young and relatively inexperienced (like Rubio). The Rats will exploit this to their advantage.

I am not trying to convince you to back Trump. You chose not to accept my reasons for supporting Trump or not. Frankly I don't care.

I personally do not support Trump, and will put myself in the undecided column. So far I have only played the elimination game,Trump has been eliminated for me. But you are correct on Levin. Levin opened his show by criticizing those who are savaging our own side, and without taking a breath preceded to savage everyone under the sun, except for Cruz, on our side. I mean, in the same sentence. Levin seems to think everybody but him lives in a bubble, though he lives in a bubble where the calender stays at 1986. He keeps talking about Reagan Democrats, without ever contemplating that the majority of them are in the cemetery. I like to do a thought experiment where you change the numbers on the years, 19 to 18, 20 to 19. What would people have said in 1916, Wilson running for reelection, World War 1 in full swing, and a top commentator is calling for bringing the US Grant-Hayes-Garfield coalition back together again. He would have been considered nuts.

there is nothing admirable about not endorsing - cruz is conservative - trump is not - not endorsing when your country is crumbling is hardly noble

the gop is not my party - I will not vote gop if ted is not the nominee - I leave party worship to you and the rinoz

‘bringing to the fore’ solves nothing - good first step - all you have is the word of a liar and flip flopper that he will do what he says

‘taking on...’ by ‘speaking - ibid - liar and flip flopper - cruz has actually taken on the rinoz - trump panders to whoever will make him richer

Reagan democrapz were not Reagan democrapz because Reagan fired from the hip - Reagan spoke of principlez - trumpz only principle is getting richer - even at the expense of his country - yes, it takes a tard to support that

government is not a business - nor is an or table - success in one area of life does not mean success in all areas

true - he is not a lawyer - he is an unethical ‘businessman’ declaring bankruptcies to keep his money and stick it to others - tardz admire that - conservatives do not

the ‘rats’ have not been able to exploit cruz - he is the only one taking on the rinoz in the senate - and is hated for it by tardz and rinoz

you can't convince ANYONE to back trump because you have no valid reasons to - just reveling in his reactionary comments and equating that to being a good president

I am conservative - cruz is the most conservative

you can't refute that - because trump is not conservative

pro flipflop on life
donating to democrapz
eminent domain so he can get richer

trumptardz demand a candidate fight the rinoz - not the democrapz - yep - trump is your man
