They’re only dead if we stop letting people like Cruz, Levin, and others give them a lifeline by effectively supporting Democrats, such as Hillary, at least during the Convention and for some time after.
Sure would be nice if people like them, who do have conservative credentials, actually learned to control their petty grievances and think about the country’s future a bit more often.
Levin is a Free Traitor™ and is not a Conservative in my opinion. He is a liberation and a globalist. The opposite of a Conservative. Cruz is a tiny bit better, but not much.
liberation = Libertarean
