I suspect a lot of this stems from differences over foreign policy. Levin says over and over again that deposing Saddam was a great move and that the world is far and away better off as a result of the invasion. Trump thinks that position is absurd and thinks it is obvious that toppling Saddam empowered Iran and led to the Sunni reaction in the form of ISIS. It is only one issue but for some reason anger over foreign policy seems to behind a lot of the Neocons’ anger towards Trump. I guess “conservatives” who favor spreading democracy at the point of a bayonet will back Hillary, whose foreign policy would differ very little from that of Obama, Slick Willie or the Bushes.
Pull the damn plug already. Levin has fallen off the deep end of crazy.
Who would have believed that Donald Trump of all people would expose all of these ersatz "constitutional conservatives" in the media, "conservative talk show hosts", politicians and political pundits for who and what they really are. It is unfathomable that these former stalwarts of the conservative right would be revealed as nothing but money grubing mouthpieces, pawns and willing participants and dupes of the GOPe, "uniparty" all for the sake of maintaining THEIR POWER, THEIR POSITIONS, THEIR PRIVILEGE and THEIR WEALTH/ONGOING STREAMS OF GRAFT AND MONEY OFF OF THE BACKS OF HONEST, LAW ABIDING AMERICAN, CITIZEN TAX PAYERS and former listeners and financial supporters;
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER, AMERICA AND AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE NOT "ANIMAL FARM" where "all animals are equal, but some animals are more 'equal than others'"!
Mark Levin (along with Ryan, etc...) are now "persona non gratis" in our home. The American citizenry is awake and fully engaged and aware of what is going on. These fools have (quoting Admiral Yamamoto) awoken the 'sleeping giant and filled him with terrible resolve'! And, "we won't be fooled again!"
We are witnessing first-hand America's version of the "Let them eat cake" moment; may they metaphorically suffer the same fate as those who first said this did in France!
A complete and total LIE. Trump said Apple would make phones in the U.S. again...because he would REMOVE the double taxation on forign corporate profits when repatriated, which Tim Cook and many other CEOs have complained about. NOT because he would force them to do so.
This is a CONSERVATIVE principle, which the "New Levin" (the bought and paid for one) wouldn't know if it hit him in the nose.
He’s right about the tariffs, and Trump is wrong... but Trump’s trying to get the union vote away from Hillary... so as usual, Trump says what people want to hear. If he actually did it, without doing what Levin and fiscal conservatives be they Republican or Libertarian know needs to done, the economy would tank further than it is now.
The problem is the regulations and minimum wage laws that drove companies overseas, and also the high taxes everyone pays that keep us from having much, if any, disposable income. Punishing the companies and US stockholders and small businesses reliant on inexpensive products to sell to overtaxed consumers with very limited disposable income... just to try to keep companies here by coercion... raises costs for everyone and hurts people who don’t have the option of magically increasing their earnings to match the skyrocketing prices needed to make products made by high-paid union labor profitable.
Levin has said Trump’s tax plan is good...so Trump is probably thinking of the real issues but not saying anything because as soon as you give details you just draw more fire. It’s just irritating to see a dumbed down message work so well because of what it says about the state of the country.
But Trump can’t talk about much or he’ll scare off the Democrats that are responding to him because they feel awkward with what their party has become.
That said, I don’t think Trump means most anything he says, but he still he has a few things going for him that Hillary can’t match:
He doesn’t have the “hate America” attitude that other libs have...[neither did any GOP candidate.]
His rules of engagement are going to be WAY better than hers or anyone else’s would be... let’s face it, if you have a soldier in the family the Trump ROE are likely to be the best thing since sliced bread. [True of all GOP candidates save maybe Lindsey Graham, or Huckabee, or Rand Paul.]
He can do that Bill Clinton wink and grin thing when he lies so long as he lies in a YUGE way, and people think it’s cute because he’s just a rascal, while Hillary just comes across as a grumpy witch.
And he’s impervious to political correctness darts.
[He’s pretty much the only guy impervious to those.]
But ideologically, and constitutionally, Levin is still right. If we’re really going to get the country turned around to small government, Trump’s not going to be the guy to do that. Problem is, you can’t explain ideas or the Constitution to world wrestling fans or people whose eyes glaze over while reading “long” tweets. So Trump’s hyperbolistic bullspit and popular conspiracy theories will have to do to break PC’s demoralizing and paralyzing grip .... and afterwards maybe we can get back to figuring out how to put more shackles on the federal government’s ability to bribe and coerce so we can restore power to the states and people, and sell that to formerly reluctant folks.
I listened to Levin for years from his early days on Saturday morning radio. He is finished. Time to get a real job.
Levin has been a major crybaby and quitter.
Instead of joining Trump and fighting for what he believes, his show has been a self-pity party with whiners calling in to say they will move aside for Hillary by not voting for Trump.
When does this useless pos just endorse Clinton or is he waiting for a 3rd party candidate to endorse?
These are such LIES. Trump is not “slapping a 45 percent tariff on all goods made in China, and massive tariffs on other countries like Japan and Mexico....”
The English language is hard for some people. It is the THREAT of tariffs that will accomplish his goals. He has actually said this.
Just like deporting millions of illegals. The THREAT of deportation will cause many to self deport.
Like Tommy Thompson’s welfare reforms back in Wisconsin, where all recipients had to re-register, YUGE numbers just quit the welfare roles.
It was a cool gig while it lasted, but when they thought they might get caught, they just QUIT.
When you are the opposite of a girly man, metro-sexual, pussified, weak, president like Barack Obama, people believe you will actually follow through.
When Trump draws a line in the sand, everyone knows he won’t be moving it backwards. If anything, he will move it TEN FEET forward.
You don’t tug on superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don’t mess around with The Donald
” So, now “NeverTrump” Levin is not only a lawyer, he’s a self appointed expert on Trade. This should be a clarion call to anyone who takes this twerp seriously. He is in all for Hillary.”
Face it, if Trump gets in and fixes this mess that Levin’s RINO’s got us into, what does he talk about?? How does he sell his faux conservative books? The big money in immigration and BAD trad deals owns Levin. He is a lobbyist owned shill.
I wish these talking pinheads would make up their mind. Is Trump a protectionists or a globalist? Jeez, pick one, Levin, and stick to it.
We already have over 12,000 tariffs on a wide variety of goods. Unilateral tariff increases never happen. The exporting country responds in kind.
Foreign trade is best left to the free market unless one side cheats. Then put the hammer on them.
