On Tuesday’s radio program, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin chastised Donald Trump for insisting that the Republican “primary system is rigged.” The system is not rigged, Levin said, and yet Mr. Trump sounds like an entitled liberal demanding delegates from Colorado without having put in the work to win them. It sounds like Mr. Trump is demanding “delegate welfare,” said Levin.
The delegate appointment rules in most of these primaries have been established for nearly a century. In Colorado, for example, the rules for this primary process have been in place since 1912. “Has the system been corrupt for 100 years?” asked Levin. No. This “has never been a pure democracy” explained Levin. “We have a federalist system,” and the states determine the rules for their primaries. It’s the candidate’s job to navigate those rules.

It’s an interesting point. But whether the rules changed or the rules are what they always were, they are the rules of the communist party of a soviet satellite.
It has gone over the edge. I believe there are democrat shenanigans playing out on this site and other places. The anger of the Trumpets is based upon the belief that their candidate is being cheated. One can understand the angst due to the truly endless series of betrayals the pubbies in congress have given us over the years. And because this is the case no countervailing argument that does not originate in the Trump Campaign is given any credibility whatsoever. This is called paranoia and I think the dim’s are taking full advantage of it. I have no axe to grind with Trumpets however many of the things they buy into are simply silly. Has been known to happen during election campaigns.
Trump is whining and so are 90% of your Trumperettes
I used to love Levin, but I’m done. He doesn’t disclose that his future stepson is working for Cruz. Next he has the GOPe buying a million dollars in books from him! WTF?? fricking GOP tool is what he is. Rush too.
F#ck everyone here who supports Cruz, I’m done with all you assholes. Cruz has the entire GOP machine helping him, what do you not understand?? Your boy is not going to be president, he is a tool and he’s too dumb to realize it because he wanted to be president since he was ten years old. Once he prevents Trump from getting 1237, they are going to turn the guns on Cruz, GET IT?
The day after Trump fails to get 1237, the media will have a 24x7 video loop of Cruz eating a booger, soliciting prostitutes, and best of all, they will be playing the video of the minister introducing Cruz right after explaining that gays should get the death penalty.
Have you seen that video? I have, and it is quite shocking. Why isn’t the media playing that video and asking Cruz about it? NC is getting raked over the coals for simply making a law that if you have a package, you are supposed to use the mens room. The media wants to show you but they work for a higher cause. It’s not the right time to attack Cruz, so these things will stay on the shelf until they finish destroyng Trump.
You are all delusional if you think Cruz will win. Don’t sacrifice our country on the alter of a ‘perfect conservative’. Cruz isn’t.
There were no parties when our representative republic was created, and the founders did not want a party system. Only an idiot Cruz supporter would not know that.
You think there are a gazillion news stories and videos that will sink Trump?
And when has Trump ever stated he wants to reduce the size of the federal government? Does he know what the 10th amendment states? Has he even read the Constitution?
Ok, Mr. Levin, fine. Stop any future voting and dismiss all votes already cast. Choose via the “process”.
Pathetic
He started to lose me when he still had Rubio on his shows after Rubio two faced lied about the gang of 8 crap. Now I understand, and Rush is 100% included in this rant. Rush: “Rubio is a full throated conservative” . Rush actually said that on the radio just a few weeks ago. That’s when I turned off all talk radio.
He is very smart, so is Obama and many others in power. They are very gifted and they know how to manipulate people. That is why they are able to make money on us. They also protect each other just like the GOPe. We are their proles.
What is the American Form of Government
I learned this in elementary school
The anger came first. Railroading conservatives as was done in Mississippi, being told to sit down and shut up, the time for Reagan is over, pissing down conservatives’ backs and saying it’s raining, that anger came way before Trump. Remember something called the TEA party? That is the anger. The GOPe decided to capitalize on it in some cases, usurped the movement in other cases and downright trashed us in other cases. They have hated us from the start. To this day they hate the base — the little people they don’t need to win. You can see it in their approach to the delegates in Colorado. We are the enemy to them. The democrats have never been their enemy. Just look at the national presidential elections in 2008 and 2012 as proof. Have they ever fought against Obama or Clinton as hard as they are fighting Trump? Where was the hashtag “we did it, never Obama” against any of Obama’s lawless governance?
Yes conservatives have reason to be angry and ungrateful Cruz people should be counting their lucky stars that Trump ran because Cruz would have been just another conservative flavor of the week without Trump. Just a grease spot under JEB!’s loafers if Trump had decided not to run.
My anger and mistrust of the GOPe has caused me to examine their every action and notice a pattern. That has obviously escaped you. They (the Uniparty) own candidates. Even the ones they hate, they own. They have taken a man who seemed to side with conservatives, understand conservative principles and honored God with his mouth and turned him into an unrecognizable thing.
Maybe he was always a chameleon, maybe the advisors he’s taken on or the political landscape have twisted him into this unprincipled, unconstitutional, immoral thing. Whatever the case, Ted Cruz is not the conservative I thought he was at first. It started with him changing his opinion on what the founders required to run for president. His sitting on his hands as VP of a republican organization that trashed a winning conservative candidate using the worse of liberal tactics in Mississippi. Voting for Obama’s trade deal when it counted and against it when it didn’t. Either Ted Cruz is an idiot or he thinks he’s fooling someone.
That screamer with no guiding principle was the only one who spoke up against the foreign invasion of our country. The only one who remembered illegals were out there murdering US citizens. Ted Cruz or any of the other candidates could have stopped Trump in his tracks if any of them had decided to stand with US citizens against the invasion. Ted didn’t have the guts to go against his masters. Neither did any of the other candidates.
Don’t “go down that path...yet.” You keep sitting in your seat Tory. The redcoats have already passed you by and found you to be their friend.
I wonder how you'd take to self funding your radio shows instead of relying on advertisers for support?
LOL!!
Someone needs to photoshop Levin’s face onto that Baghdad Bob dude’s face.
Exactly! We are cattle, only good for buying books and listening to lifelock ads.
We haven’t even had a semi conservative elected to president or vice president in 30 years! According to Rush and Levin, We are supposed to hold out for some unicorn conservative. Instead of banding together behind a successful patriot who is conservative on the main issues that will decide if America exists 5 years from now.
Following a wild grenade thrower is a good way to get blown up. Trump doesn’t know which way to throw since he has been on every side of every issue. I have yet to see him propose anything that will fix the real problem of this country, the idea that the federal government is there to fix everything for everybody. Trump believes that too.

Video at the site sums it all up.
You might want to google Ted Cruz and sanctuary cities, and also Senate candidate Ted cruz supports building a wall,
How has anyone by supporting Donald Trump said eff the constitution?
What has Trump done that is against the constitution?
That’s right NOTHING.
Funny thing about elementary school, we learned that selecting our own representatives rather than having the Crown or the Nobility selecting them for us was called freedom. Did you perchance ride the little short bus ?
