Talk Radio Host Mark Levin Has a Theory on the Real Reason Carly Fiorina Surged After the Debate
Independent Journal Review ^ | September 22, 2015 | Joe Perticone

Posted on 09/23/2015 1:12:37 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said on his show Tuesday that he believes the fix is in to oust real estate mogul Donald Trump as the highest-polling GOP candidate for President.

Speaking on his program, which works as a staple for Tea Party conservatives, Levin said there is a “national media love fest” for Carly Fiorina, which he believes was devised prior to the second primary debate last week:

“I believe establishment media were poised to declare Carly Fiorina a victor. A victor over Trump. They wanna take down Trump. If Bush can’t do it then they hope last week Kasich could do it. If Kasich can’t do it, they want Fiorina to do it. But they wanna take down Trump.”

Levin continued:

“They figure that ‘we’ll take down Trump and we’ll deal with what’s left. We’ll deal with Cruz or whomever else but right now Trump is their front leader. He’s the frontrunner. He’s gotta go.”

After his proclamation of media conspiracy, Levin recalled that “before Trump got in they were smearing and trashing Ted Cruz.”

But a media conspiracy to take down Trump is not properly reflected in the polling. According to a Google Consumer Surveys poll conducted for Independent Journal, Fiorina was the winner of the debate last week.

You can listen to the full audio segment from Levin’s show, below:

A large percentage of voters are stuck on Trump no matter what. The more the left tries to manage the outcome they desire, the more people plant their feet with Trump. This is, as he said “A MOVEMENT” and it takes a lot to stop a movement.

Carly was a bit TOO WELL PREPARED FOR ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS BECAUSE CNN GAVE HER THE FORMAT AND THE QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE DEBATE!

Either she was fed the questions or, deciding that she was their best bet to hurt Trump, they tailored their questions to her well rehearsed stump speech that she repeats every single time she's on a stage.

As a person he cannot stand Snarly Failorino, I don’t believe that she was given any questions in advance.

She has extremely well practiced canned response and things that she says.

She can plug and fit these practiced and canned responses very well to just about any question or scenario.

If you have listened to her for a length of time, you will see that she repeats these responses almost verbatim and to the inflection of each word.

She has done her homework and practiced her speeches, thus she appears sharp.

Now, does that mean i want her as president? NOPE!

After the FoxNews debate, they tried to push Kasich to the forefront. It just didn’t work. He just doesn’t have much charisma.

In the interim they tried Carter, but he couldn’t keep his feet out of his mouth.

When CNN added a podium so Fiorina could participate in the main debate, it was obvious she was the new ‘golden haired’. Her responses did seem very precise and very rehearsed. Did someone at CNN slip her an advanced copy of the questions?

All of these early leaders have one purpose — take down Trump. Five minutes after they accomplish that, they will be hit with everything the media has been saving.

If Fiorina or Carson or Rubio think they will be the media darling all the way to the nomination are deluding themselves. The media wouldn’t give them a water bottle if they were dying of thirst. They are just useful tools. The media will be pushing the Democrat next fall — whether it is Clinton or Biden or Rumpelstiltskin.

I think it was the latter and very easy to accomplish.

The GOPe is gonna fail with Carly, so my guess is Rubio will get the next chance to shine.

Absotively and posolutely Rubio is next up for the "....is surging in the polls" mantra that will be crowed by the media, analyzed by "the panel" on Fox, and repeated by every media mouth you can find.

I believe Rubio is their last hope.

A good many of them happen to be conservatives who are plain fed up with being sold a bill of goods by their own party and Trump is their protest vote. Frankly, I think Trump’s ranks are growing all over the country and cutting across all party lines and races. Hardworking Americans are fed up with political double talk and inaction.

I agree. That was what Trump's (somewhat inartful) description of her as “robotic” was meant to convey. She's like the type of job applicant who can give a great interview but once on the job cannot perform up to expectations.

I appreciated her savaging of PP during the most recent “debate”. Though she is only a conservative when it suits her ambition.

I would not vote for her.

Agreed. They know Bush is toast and Kasich is too much of a flake to connect with the voters. I would of put Christie on that GOPe wish list but he’s so tainted by his political problems in NJ that they know he’s done too.

Scott Walker told Glenn Beck on his radio show that it seemed Carly Fiorina was determined in advance of the debate to be someone the establishment wanted to elevate. This was told to Trump afterwards and he said “Walker said that?”

The MSM wants Fiorina as the GOP candidate because she is easily defeated.

The Dems only have to run a series of ads of the people that were laid off by Fiorina. This attack is very effective and cannot effectively be countered.

According to a Google Consumer Surveys poll

Pretty pathetic when a "Journalist" has got to bend them self this far to find a poll that says what they want to hear.

The article starts out: "Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said on his show Tuesday..."

1) I know that the article is from the 22nd.

2) I know that Mark Levin is Jewish and would not be broadcasting a show on the Jewish holiday.

3) Tom Marr was guest host last night, Tuesday the 22nd

Therefore, it's unlikely that 'Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said on his show Tuesday...', if he wasn't on the air Tuesday...

I'm thinking it might have been Monday night that he said it. It sounds familiar to me.

Yes, I'm anal like that. I like it when people get even the small details right. Words do have meaning.

It was my impression while watching the debate, that three of the candidates were allowed to see the questions.

Especially the one about the face on the currency and the one about the S.S. Nickname.
