There was a time when people like Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, and Erick Erickson were powerful voices within the Conservative movement. That was BT or Before Trump, when most American Conservatives were asleep at the wheel and operating on status quo neo-conservative autopilot, completely unaware that the maverick radio voices we hailed as rebels, were actually globalist shills-for-hire.
The silent majority was silent because we were napping, however, Trump has awakened the slumbering giant and were hip to the globalist trick played upon us by so-called radio conservatives, politicians, media, and pundits, who subtly pepper falsehoods like, amnesty is good, trade is fine, debt is just part of life, and nation building is patriotic throughout their schtick.
Yes, the slumber is over and the alt right is gleefully humming a tune commonly blasted at Trump rallies.
Were not gonna take it .Anymore.
One result of this awakening, is the downfall of several once powerful radio voices men whose egos are so immense and selfish that the very essence of their global schtick TRUMPED ethics, honesty, and common sense.
They all have one thing in common they each made the same mistake on the way to Irrelvence Island.
They joined NeverTrump.
Glenn Beck
Crazy Glenn Beck spent over half a million of his own dollars to try and get Ted Cruz elected. However, in the end all the money, fasting, and nazi-namecalling added up to a big fat zero. Cruz failed, NeverTrump never mattered, and Becks media empire crumbled (like a plate of crushed Cheetos).
Ben Shapiro
Once revered as the future voice of conservatism, Ben Shapiro was a beacon of hope within the conservative movement. However, everything changed for Ben when he decided to go NeverTrump and throw his career out the window to defend proven liar, Michelle Fields (see stories here, here, and here).
Erick Erickson
The moment Erick Erickson started bashing Trump two things happened. Firstly, he started resembling a thumb and secondly his career fell apart. Erickson went from being hailed as a powerful voice of conservatism to huffing and puffing all over Twitter, bitching about Trump with fellow NeverTrump dropkick Rick Wilson (another talentless hack who looks like a thumb).
Mark Levin
During the GOP primary we discovered that Mark Levin will support anyone as long as they promise to buy his dumb books. Levin went on a screaming-mimmy tirade for the last 3 months of Ted Cruzs race to loserville, bashing Trump and proudly stating he was NeverTrump. Since then, Levins ratings have tanked.
Hugh Hewitt
Hugh Hewit looks like a cross between Phil Donahue, George McFly, and Justin Bieber. His claim to fame was trying to trip Tump up with a gotcha question about some preposterously unknown faction of the Iraqi Army. Since then hes spent his time on the radio looking for ways to help Hillary and losing listeners.
Honorable mentions go to Rush Limbaugh and Dana Loesch. Rush has never gone full dumbo and declared himself NeverTrump, although his actions have us wondering. On the other hand, dopey Dana claims shes not a NeverTrumper (she is) however, she warns us that mean Trump supporters may push her there.
It’s all about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running.
The establishment is fully committed to giving away our country and they will not allow us to stop them.
Once you get started listening to Jeff Kuhner at noon, you’ll never go back to Limbaugh.
“Levin only cares about one thing.The Constitution. “
BS. That’s one of his biggest lies. Levin cares about LEVIN.
If he gave a rip about the Constitution he would never have backed a creep like Cruz and wouldn’t be trying to destroy Trump.
Shaking my head at Mark Levin and Ben Sharpiro, who I thought was a young-and-upcoming Breitbart. No more.
The term conservative meant ‘common sense’ along with small government with original purpose. Levin himself lectured on it stating wisely that conservative is not an ideology it’s a proven way of life
These guys have hijacked the term they are not conservative as Trump supporters. They are hanging on to their revenue ideals inflexibly hating Trump without reason
“Levin only cares about one thing.The Constitution.”
If he cared about the Constitution, he would have been anti-Cruz, since he’s not a Natural Born Citizen.
He also had his step-son working for Cruz. He did not tell us until it was leaked out. He’s a big phony.
Another great national radio show is Lars Larson. Pro Trump from the start.
Bill Kristol was on MSNBC the other day calling Trump a list of names, including a “blankety blankety blank narcissist”, etc., among other things.
As Dan Quayle’s chief of staff, I hold this fool partly responsible for the “potatoe” debacle.
You don’t listen to Rush but feel the need to argue?
“He might make some suggestions on Trumps comments however, he is full on Trumps bandwagon in the general campaign.”
No
Well, we need to be clear that what we need in America is FREEDOM - that’s freedom from unjust and unconstitutional governmental interference.
“Its all about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running.
The establishment is fully committed to giving away our country and they will not allow us to stop them.”
BINGO!~

“Yeah, Rush was jabbing under the radar for months.”
Good way to put it. At first, he thought Trump would never win, so he didn’t say much against him, but the closer he came to winning the primary, the worse the jabs got. Rush still prefers to go after Trump than go after Hillary.
Levin only cares about one thing.The Constitution. Thats why he supported Cruz.

Supporting a Cubanadian who is not eligible kind of undermines your first assertion.

Female what? Most of the wise pundits who promote Trump are women. Whatever that means to you
I disagree. I have been listening to Rush frequently in recent weeks, and I hear him being very supportive of Trump and very clear in his attacks on Hillary.
“With all his criticisms, I have heard Levin say he may very well vote for Trump.”
Disgusting that it’s even a Maybe” A Hillary vote should be out of the question for a true conservative. He’s a phony.
Interesting dynamic.
We have to assume the two have spoken by now and have a mutual respect and understanding of "professional/personal courtesy." Sean is laying off Levin, but in private I'm sure their friendship is strained.
“Thats not exactly a gotcha question.”
I think it is. “Nuclear triad?” What shiny-loafered, chair-warming paper-pusher invented that one yesterday?
