(Vanity) - Mark Levin, Isn't It Time To Get Behind The Candidate Who Can Beat The Establishment?

For the past 4 years, we've heard Mark Levin tell his radio audience that this time around, conservatives need to rally behind one conservative who can actually beat the establishment. As near as I can tell, Levin seems to have gone silent on that point in recent months.

As we watch the GOPe ramp up their attacks on Trump, borrowing from the Mississippi playbook of dirty tricks, wouldn't now be the time to rally around the only candidate who can take out the GOPe - Trump? Any thoughts?

Their vote wasn’t needed at the time.

They voted later by funding it.

>> Willard didn’t win.

He wasn’t conservative.

Which of the so-called conservative commentators have suffered any financial loss because of their “unimpeachable conservative warrior” status? We (the peons) have made many of them wealthy by purchasing their books, patronizing their advertisers and being part of their audience (helping them to sell ads). At least for me - no more! (and that applies particularly to Levin).

According to Levin on his own show, his fiance's son is a Cruz staffer. I think that gives him too much of a conflict of interest. It would only be human to be saying to yourself “hey, my future stepson is an insider - maybe I'll get a chance to once again serve in the Administration”. I don't blame him for that, but it does make him less reliable as a commentator in an election year...

If the nomination is stolen from Trump, the Republican elite will realize that voters don't matter. They'll usurp even more rights and economic well being from the middle class.

If that did happen, we'd be better off voting Democrat.

That is part of the problem -- the GOP establishment does not care whether they win or lose the election, as long as an establish regular -- Dem or Pubbie -- gets elected. That maintains the status quo.

The big tent the Pubbies claimed they wanted was nothing more than political rhetoric. Trump is expanding the tent.

If the GOP establishment really wanted the bigger tent, they would be supporting Trump 100%. The GOP could own presidential elections for the next 20 years.

But, the GOP seems more afraid that they might win. That would mean they would have to lead. That would mean they would have to work. Their half-century of being fat & lazy back-benchers might come to an end.

Maybe you should consider it then Levin!

Levin is all in for Cruz. Who has zero chance in a general election.

[TomGuy]

Trump never attacked the other candidates, until they attacked him.

Example, Carson and Jindal questioned his religious-ness early in the campaign. Trump responded. The media was feigned outrage — at Trump.

Recall Graham and the cellphone number? The media basically ignored Graham and feigned outrage — at Trump — for revealing Graham’s cellphone number.

Notice the pattern?

I have noticed the s* word has made it to the big 4 network programming. It has been used frequently on cable/satellite channels for years.

Last week I was watching a program on SyFy and heard the f* word. Usually, even cable/satellite channels will bleep it. Not this time. Control room error or intention? I was watching via a TiVo recording. I stopped, backed up, and reran the segment a couple more times to be sure I heard what I thought I had.

Ironically, when Trump was under fire — repeating a word from an audience member — Levin was all over Trump. Feigned indigation. Levin is quite profuse with the of hells and damns and bastard on his radio program.

Cruz's mistake was in trying to back pedal his remark in the form of an apology. Of course New Yorkers rallied together after the singular event of 9/11, the entire country did. What Trump and the media did was degrade the efforts of people all over the country that are made after fires, tornadoes, floods and other disasters. And many people bought into it.

None of this changes the fact that we all know exactly what New York liberal values are all about.

“Cruz wasn’t strong in any of the states on Saturday, either, until he was.”

A candidate can outperform their polling in caucus states, where party regulars run the process. Much harder to do in primary ballot states where party regulars have little control over voters.

Texas is a straight primary ballot state, and Ted won here by the smallest margin that any Republican has ever won by, in their home state.

Ted was also expected to do far better across the southern states than he’s done.

Maybe a miracle will happen, and Ted will defy the law of gravity in the upcoming states. We’ll see.

[Windflier]

“Levin’s fiancée’s son is actually working for the Cruz campaign.”

I thought it was his daughter-in-law, but perhaps I’m thinking of some other talking head. Some of these guys have relationships with the candidates that are nearly incestuous.

Yeah, it would be nice if they were more up front about it.

[jstaff]

That thing about Texas is true, I guess, but I believe that was also the largest number of candidates on the ballot. Had it been a 2 or 3 person contest I think Cruz would have taken well over 50%. That is a not-so-important piece of trivia.

[Slyfox]

Sure you have, uh huh.

What does a stretched brain feel like?

Yesterday a Trump supporter posted that a donation to Schemer, Clinton, Reid, metal was no different that a donation to your garden variety Republican.

Using their logic, there is no difference between Hillary and Trump...

How about donating to Cruz? Was Trump a Hillary liberal when he did that? Does that make Cruz a liberal too?

Peanuts. Epic fail on your part.

Another blemish on our election system AND the media is that different delegate counts can be found from different sources.
