To state that he would work to unseat the most conservative Senator, just to get back at his father, speaks loudly that to Levin, this is, at least at some level, a mere game.
Yes, I could agree with that. I understood it as leverage deftly applied. If that’s a game, so be it. I don’t think it implies ML is anti Rand. On the contrary, I think it’s appealing to his Tea Party convictions which would preclude his father going third party. So I don’t agree with the dismissive sentiment toward Levin. Any way, that’s my take.
