Although Mark Levin said yesterday he would happily vote for Trump if Trump is the nominee, the respected and intelligent Mark Levin -- a man who clearly loves America and is committed to traditional American values -- joins a significant group of conservative talkshow hosts (such as Dennis Prager who is also well-respected and who also defends traditional American Judeo-Christian values and the Constitution) and conservative commentators who are clearly uncomfortable with a non-professional politician running for national office. And these people always have thoughtful reasons for thinking so.

But a non-politician such as Donald Trump running for president is precisely what the Founders had in mind as they debated Article II of the Constitution. That is, a citizen -- a farmer like Washington; a lawyer like Adams; and architect like Jefferson; and many of the earliest presidentis -- would be elected, hold office for a few years, then go back to being a citizen ... just like what Donald Trump plans to do.

Levin lost all credibility with me when I discovered he’s the genius who vetted Supreme Court Justice Kennedy who was the deciding vote in favor for gay marriage. You shall know them by their deeds.

Levin has spent the last 4 years really preaching constitutional conservatism. He’s wriiten Ameritopia, the Liberty Amendments, Plunder and Deceipt and Liberty and Tyrrany. He thinks in 2016, he’s finally going to get his guy in there. Ted Cruz, the embodiment of everything Mark believes. But then along comes Trump, who is strong, decisive, not PC, doesnt back down and speaks to all the issues we’ve wanted for a long time. Essentially, Trump has made Cruz irrelevant and at the same time exposed him for being just another politician. I’ve long said that in a normal year, Cruz looks great. Next to Trump he is just the best of the establishment politicians.

So Mark plays along on his show. He’s nice to Trump, but probably thinks he will burn out and eventually all of us Trumpkins are going to come around to Cruz. But that’s not going to happen because Trump is known to 99% of the population. We’ve analyzed his plusses and minuses and have made the conclusion that what we have now is not working, let’s try Trump. So this is nothing more than Levin throwimg a tantrum because people are not following what the “Great One” says.

The issue I have with Levin is his intellectual dishonesty with his audience. He wants to endorse Ted, then fine. It’s his show. But Levin sits there and insists that he hasn’t chosen sides when in fact he has. Levin has had no trouble using his audience for years to sell his books and his father’s books (which are overpriced for the value and content), yet now maligns the same people with his over the top attacks on Trump. Go read Levin’s Facebook page. You will periodically see a comment with a poster calling him out for banning posters who do not agree with him. I’ve been banned as well for calling him out last time he attacked Trump over the Carson flap. So much for Mr. free Speech. I guess if Levin wants to conduct a show for only Cruz partisans, that’s his business, but he’s not going to have much of an audience left after this election.

The number one way to know that you are a fool:

When you must trash all of the conservative voices you have long held in high regard for the benefit of one politician.

The cult of personality is a dangerous thing. We should be electing a representative, not a God-King. If you can’t handle criticism of the mortal man that you are electing to represent your interests, then you are exactly the kind of person who the founding fathers repudiated during the revolution...

I knew Levin would eventually turn on Trump. Principals matter too much for him. He has been more than kind with Trump, but Trump went full, unhinged lefty this morning with his idiotic tweet-fest.

Cut the carp?

Carp is a nasty-tasting, bottom-feeding trash fish of no redeeming value. Why in the world would you want to cut the carp ...

Oh ... not carp? ...

I thought Levin was leaving the Republican party. He said he was going to.

Yeah Levin, cut the crap.

Anybody who is a citizen... a natural... a natural, ...naturalized born citizen is eligible (he confused a caller with his deliberate stammering confounding jumble on Tuesday night)

Levin wrapped himself in the flag and said that “birthers” claim foreign-born service members are not citizens. This is not only a lie, it is despicable and divisive.

Levin has made of fool of himself. All he has is smears and invective. If anyone needs to cut the crap it’s Levin.

I was proud of Trump for having raised the illegal alien issue, but so far that's the only thing he's shown that I'd respect.
Therefore, if he DOES get nominated or elected, I'll have the same thing to say to his rabid followers (in full glory on this thread) that I said to Obama's fellow travelers: If you get what you want you have to live with what you got.
It might be wise to do your gloating early.
