Mark Levin spent three hours tonight trashing Trump over his remarks about Ted Cruz, among other things. Levin failed to mention Cruz's attack on Trump behind closed doors with his donors, which he first denied, until an audio popped up proving Cruz did in fact make the comments he denied.
Behind closed doors, that's where politicians function best - Ted Cruz is no different. It may be tiring the way Trump puts it all out there, and I feel sure he is outgrowing that, but after Obamacare and so many other things, I will never ever ever support another politician who says one thing when the door is closed and another when the little people are listening in. Slippery Cruz.
Cruz came into the Senate doing what the people of Texas wanted him to do.
Well, I would ask those who voted for him in Texas what they wanted him to do. They wanted him to stand on principle, not to get along. If you call that trying to run the Senate, then I know exactly where you are coming from. Status quo.
I remember when Levin loved Rubio. Remember this? “he’s a true conservative”. Mark Levin is right on sometimes and full of chit other times. You have to differentiate. I take Levin with a grain of salt on this. Its a tempest in a teapot and he and Rush have let themselves be sucked in.
ROTFL!
Personally, I don't trust people, especially politicians, who are one way behind closed doors and another way when they go public. It isn't conservative to backstab behind closed doors, and then lie about. At least not in my mind.
Remember when Levin was telling you Rubio was the real deal?
The quality of Levin's analysis must be considered and judged in the context that he is a polemicist. Even so, I think his analysis most of the time is reasonably fair and indisputably well grounded in the Constitution and recent history.
I do fault him for his churlish behavior with callers who disagree with him. In my judgment he loses credibility every time he demeans a caller. But even this fault demonstrates his conservative bona fides which is really the issue that was raised.
Just as Mark Levin must be made wrong for Trump to the right so must Mark Levin's conservatism be attacked to make Donald Trump acceptable.
“Is there any twist of reality that the supporters of ____ will not resort to?”
To paraphrase:
‘When a small pack of childish idiots was rabidly insulting Trump supporters I said nothing...’
And now febrile partisanship dominates Free Republic threads.
I guess it will be this way until one is defeated.
To those dillusional Trump supporters that called me a liar, just Google “donald trump illegals convinced”.
It is a fact. 2 years ago Donald Trump was convinced by a group of illegal alien activists.
JoSixChip- you owe me an apology.
[ For heaven’s sake, Ted Cruz’s stood up against the president of the United States, the Majority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, the whole Democrat party, the Republican establishment and the establishment media.
By any fair analysis Ted Cruz is “man enough.” ]
Indeed and he took a truckload of Crap dumped all over him by the RINOs for it.
Many of the “elected conservative tea party favorites” reps and senators have fallen prey to the “I gotta be popular in D.C.” so they can attend all the fancy dinner parties. Ted Cruz is not one of them and he is scorned by the “movers and shakers” in D.C. Ted Cruz may not be perfect but he is a hell of a lot better than 90% of the Tea Party Conservatives we sent to D.C. in the last 6 years who turned out to be minor or major disappointments.
I like both Cruz and Trump and don;t get all the Freeper whining about either Cruz and Trump being horrible. For the first time in Practically EVER, we have a solid conservative and a seemingly populist conservative running and they are #2 and #1 in the polls!
We need to stop looking this damned gift horse in the mouth!
What drives this campaign, I believe, for many patriots is what we are trying to prevent - a continuation. No, and HELL NO! Although Cruz says much that we applaud, his past support for McConnell, the Chamber, TPA, Iran deal, his wife with the Council on Foreign Relations and Goldman Sachs, advocating for 500,000 additional H1-B immigrant visas, giving $200,000 from his Leadership PAC to the NRSC & Carly, grandstanding at the border with Glenn Beck & a horde of teddy bears, and his huge funding from heavyweight Robert Mercer are all enough to make me sufficiently nervous that he isn't the guy to stop this freight train heading toward the cliff.
Oh, my, I love your post. Can I quote it - and I mean over and over? There are people I know - including me - who are thirsty for such info... THANKS!!
[ I stopped listening to him long back, just gives headache.
Levin promoted Rubio, hatch, Ryan as conservative in his programme, all turn out to be upside down. ]
When was the last time you listened? 2012?
Mark has expressed regret over endorsing Hatch back in 2013 and recently Paul Ryan will no longer go on his program.
That is what Ted Cruz accomplished while Donald Trump has accomplished nothing, according to your test, and threatens everything.
I tried reading one of his books and I didn’t get far because his abuse of CAPS was uncommonly annoying. Can’t stand to listen to him because of all of his SCREECHING!!!
He stood on principle and accomplished nothing. That’s Trumps point and he is right. Trumps attack is basically this... Cruz has good ideas but won’t get them implemented. Give us all examples when Cruz prooved Trump wrong
You would have to be smarter than every one here for you to know Levin is smarter than all of them. Are you? (just joking)
[ Well, he doesnât get along with others in the Senate. He came into the Senate, a very young junior Senator and tried to run the place. They resented it - as anyone would. He should have built some support before acting like God Almighty -he might have fared better. ]
He went to the senate and performed for his state and has done so by the rules of the senate.
He didn’t fall in line like Mitch McConnell’s butt boys and betray his state.
The senate would be more healthy if every senator was MORE like Ted Cruz.
The senate is NOT supposed to be the Majority Leader Appreciation society you know!
Think Trump will have the cameras and mic's rolling when he cajoles Harry Reid?
Trump is a bigtime NY schmoozer. You can cajole to get things accomplished, and he will. There's a difference between cajoling and selling out your principles ... Trump will go to the public if he can't get Reid on board... Unfortunately, I don't think Cruz can do that.
You know, I don’t have any animosity toward you. I feel sorry for you. Sincerely.
So the people of Texas wanted TPA and wanted the Iran deal? I know a few people in Texas and the only one that wanted these things is a gay obumber lover.
