The thought did occur to me, to give Hillary cover, but I assume Levin is more familiar with him. He certainly is a RINO, and if he gets in, the whole thing (Boehner’s resignation) is part of a larger scam on the part of the Republicans.
“...but I assume Levin is more familiar with him...”
It might be that Levin was being cautious or kind and keeping his true misgivings to himself.
IMHO
