Listened to a bit of Levin on the radio tonight. He was railing about DT alienating all Mexicans which he said the Republicans will need in order to win the election. Never mentioned that the judge was associated with LaRaza or his affiliation with the Clintons. Levin missed a golden opportunity to inform his listeners about why Trump is so upset.

Having listened to Levin for years, I can not resist initially leaving him on at the beginning of his show to get a whiff of his opening monologue. For weeks now, I find myself pulling the plug almost immediately when his blatant anti-Trump bias and ridicule spews forth. Levin, a supposedly great lawyer, aught to know a lot about legal ethics. After all, it is certain he has been schooled on conflicts of interest since it is a course of study taught to every lawyer and judge. After all it forms the core of a code of professional ethics that all lawyers and judges must adhere to under penalty of disbarment. Yet, Levin has lost his way over his hatred for Trump and now it overshadows everything he says. A common citizen may be entitled to some slack for not understanding legal conflicts of interest rules, but there is unforgiving for an honest lawyer or judge to do so.

Is it really Marks hatred of Trump or the fact that Trump is in many ways a running on Borders, Language and Culture and it might as well be the Savage Administration and given how Mark reviles Savage how much of this is just projection of his hatred of Savage. I will now give up playing armchair shrink ;-).

Ask yourself, who makes Levin more money in the next 8 years? Railing dementedly against Cankles, or having to pick & choose battles (not a war) against Trump?

It's the almighty dollar - NOT CONSERVATISM - that drives Beck, Levin, Savage, Rush, even all those small-ball talkers upchannel on Sirius. It's that simple.

After the election, there will be talk radio meetings and ad focus groups and sales sub-meetings - but I guarantee you that at least Rushbo knows this without having to see a single memo: Trump gets a honeymoon year (ratings go down), Cankles gets the brimstone (ratings go up).

We are talking about people who literally make tens of millions of dollars by talking out of the other side of the mouth, all of them. A down year in an ad-shrinking market is not what any of them want; how are they going to buy that island in the Bahamas?!
