Mark Levin aka "The Great One" has always been a great constitutional conservative and great friend of Free Republic. Doesn't post much anymore but has had an account here (holdonnow) from nearly the beginning. He stood up for FR when his good friend Hannity was running us down. Also when O'Reilly accused us of not moderating our forum good enough against racism.
I hate to see our good friend getting trashed on FR. I understand why people are upset with him over his position against Trump, but best advice I can give is if you can't stand him, don't listen. I had to quit listening to Beck several years ago after he went nuts, and now rarely tune in Limbaugh. I click on the Mark Levin Show, maybe once per week, just to see if our old trusted ally is back. Sadly, he's still missing in action.
I pray that Rush and Mark come to their senses pretty soon and realize that the primaries are over and the great constitutional conservative Ted Cruz lost. Badly.
We can't go back and we cannot replace our candidate. It's Trump or Hillary. We have to do all we possibly can to make sure Hillary is defeated! And that starts with not bad-mouthing OUR candidate.
There are no do overs and no crying in politics.
Notice that I said "OUR" candidate. This is not like when the GOPe with their big donor bucks installed one of their own sure-losers as the Republican candidate (McCain, Romney, et al) and then told us to suck it up. Which most of us did, even Levin and Limbaugh, because we knew the damage that Obama would do to our country. And he did. And Hillary's damage will be even more severe because she'll be building on Obama's slide into godless socialism and she'll have an immediate shot at packing the courts with godless liberal activists. These judges will be with us for a lifetime. And their rulings for generations. She'll also grant amnesty and voting rights to millions of illegals and throw open our borders to millions more. And then fling the borders wide open for the Muslims. Yup. Sharia law would be coming to a country near you. And the failing Obamacare? No problem. HillaryCare's single payer system will straighten that right out. And she'll save our planet from "climate change" by killing off all our capitalist industries.
Trump was voted in by we the rebellious grassroots voters who are sick and tired and fed up and said NO MAS to the political ruling class and their open borders donors.
This is a voter rebellion and Trump is OUR champion.
We fully intend to crush Hillary and the uniparty in November and reclaim America for AMERICANS!!
Why did we choose Trump to be our champion:
Secure the borders. Build the wall. Enforce the law. End sanctuary cities. Do whatever is humanly possible in deporting as many illegals as we possibly can and or dry up their prospects by enforcing the law and many of them will leave on their own volition.
Slap a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration until we can find out what in the hell is going on! Meanwhile, bomb the shit out of ISIS. And take their oil. And find out what's going on in the mosques.
Rebuild the military!
Throw out Obama's illegal/unconstitutional executive orders and executive agreements. Repeal Obamacare!
Get a handle on trade deals and make sure Americans come first!
Cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the regulations, cut the government; return the powers and functions reserved to the states back to the states per the constitution and the 10th amendment.
And it's not just about the constitution and national security:
End the ridiculous war on coal, gas & oil, bring back manufacturing. Drill, baby, drill; mine, baby, mine; build, baby, build, farm, baby, farm, produce, baby, produce. The Business of America is business.
Strengthen our economy and create a business friendly environment!
Jobs, baby, jobs!!
Set our people free and let them produce and prosper!!
This is the voter rebellion we've all been longing for. Even bigger than the tea party. Pray Levin and Rush join us. We need their full-throated support to ensure the defeat of the corrupt, America-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating Hillary and the election of OUR candidate. Donald Trump!!
One of the slogans from the America revolution was:
Join or die!!
Another:
Don't tread on me.
And who can forget:
Give me Liberty or give me death!!
Gov. Pence will be next in line for President.
Trump has given us Gov. Pence as a gift we never could have gotten through the primary process ourselves.
the great constitutional conservative Ted Cruz lost.

Hard to be a real Constitutional conservative when you ignore that Article II Sec. 1. says Cubanadians can’t be President. He still had Canadian citizenship when he ran for Senate, for Pete’s sake.
Naturally, one is a US citizen when there are no alternatives, born here of citizen parents, natural born citizen.
I have no problem because of Mark Levin supporting Cruz. I have respect for all ardent Cruz supporters on FR. However Levin lost my respect when he spends lot of his time attacking Trump instead of Hillary. That shows lack of understanding strategic thinking.
Loyalty is a two way street.
I always find it strange Freepers rant and rave about Levin for not supporting Trump...
Nobody posting on this site is going to change his mind...
It’s like trying to teach your dog how to spell...
It’s a free country...
Don’t like it, don’t listen...
Jim, I agree wholeheartedly with what you’ve written. But at the same time, I think it is important not to loose sight of the actions of those people we heretofore looked up to for lo these many years, who when the light was shone on them, were revealed to be cockroaches who talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk. Personally, win or loose, I take my hat off to Donald Trump for what he has done in his “illumination” of all of these neocons (or whatever you choose to call them) whom we have trusted were on our side, who now spend their days trashing our chosen candidate because he doesn’t comport with the “economics” of those who have been paying them for what they say. And most importantly, what he has done to expose the Boosh “Famlly.” To think there was a time I stayed awake nights worrying the GWB would not be elected.
It’s weird how once a person gets the “true conservative” label how they have it for life. They can say or do anything down the road, but they will always keep that title. They can even take on a nevertrumper title but still can’t seem to shake the true friend and conservative title.
Levin is on the wrong side of history and deserves every bit of scorn he gets.
I agree. Mark is missing in action. I do not listen to him anymore. IMHO Rush is trying to do a balancing act and not doing a very good job of it.
Trump made a YUUUGE move by going to Mexico to meet with the Mexican president.
The rest of the world realizes he is going to be the next president even if Hillary and her friends do not.
I would actually love to see Mexican and American leaders have a “come to Jesus” movement over immigration. The real problem is Mexico is so screwed up. I don’t have a problem with our government saying they will assist the Mexican government in addressing their country’s problems if Mexico agrees to stop the illegals and repatriate the illegals in our country. That is really the solution.
Bump!
Go, Trump, Go!
And Trump did. And that's the bottom line.
I don't like Trump, and suspect that if I knew him personally I would like him even less.
BUT ...
He agrees with me far more often than not, on matters of policy and politics that actually matter. Hildebeeste is flat out evil on all counts.
Vote Trump.
Levin could have led his show with the revelation of 30 deleted Benghazi emails from Hillary Clinton’s illegal server, and talked for an hour about how she lied to Congress and the people about it. He could have talked about how deleting the emails and lying about it shows intent, and demand that Comey and the FBI reconsider charges. Then, in the second hour Levin could discuss the article on Trump's path to victory.
But, nooooo...
Levin led with his pathological bashing of Trump for an hour and didn't get to the Benghazi emails until 90 minutes later. By that time, I was getting home and turned off the radio to begin my evening chores at home.
Levin made the editorial decision to bury the Hillary Benghazi story on page B12, and run Trump's path to victory on Page 1 above the fold, just like a New York Times editor would do.
Levin is a problem now.
Furthermore, to use Levin's own words, it's the candidate, not the surrogates, not the media, not the pundits, who lose the elections. Levin speaks of this regarding Trump's position in the polls, but he disregards this when evaluating the truth of why Ted Cruz lost.
Levin constantly slips in remarks about attacking his wife or attacking his father - clear references to Trump's primary comments about Cruz. But let's have Levin explain why it was the candidate himself, and not others, who was responsible for his loss.
Ted Cruz's fortunes began to change when his "voting violation" mailer began to surface in Iowa. He should have known that people would be on the lookout for the dirty tricks the GOPe used against Chris McDaniel in Mississippi two years earlier, and this was of the kind.
Immediately following this was the caucus-night stories of the Cruz campaign spreading rumors that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race. This was the second strike against Cruz's "principled conservative" image that he was running on.
Cruz's third strike came in Chicago when he used the obvious Left-wing BLM attacks at Trump rallies to blame Trump for inciting violence. Everyone else understood what was happening, and saw Cruz's statements as crass opportunism and not a principled conservative position.
Doubts about Cruz now begin to go public.
Cruz's fourth strike was in Colorado, where he connived to win all the delegates with the smokey back room tactics. Fifth and sixth strikes piled up as subsequent primaries yielded Trump popular wins but Cruz delegate wins. NeverTrump was born, and "principled conservative" Cruz seemed to be behind it. Suddenly, the outsider appeared to be the consummate insider.
The last strike was the state-swapping "deal" with John Kasich, which it later seemed that Cruz double-crossed on even that.
Now people began to question if this was why nobody who worked with Cruz liked him. Nobody.
Put this in context with questions of Cruz's eligibility being the same as Vietnam war babies, and it's clear that Cruz defeated himself in the primary.
Now, we just have to get Levin to follow his own advice, resolve his issues and get his head straight, and get with the program of defeating Hillary Clinton.

Lot of eating our own anymore...
I’m going to take care of that when I get home. Work computer won’t let me right now.
Don't listen, don't claim to know what he says ...
Jim, you should listen to Rush more... That way you’d find out that he’s fully on board with Trump.
Levin is on the fence, still finds a way to trash him at every opportunity. Levin has become too much of a purist ideologue. The time for choosing is past due, and anyone who has trouble choosing between Trump and Hillary is a fool.
Hannity is 110% for Trump, as is Savage.
“Sadly, he’s still missing in action.”
Missing in action would be filling up three hours talking about his golf swing.
Levin is in action, actively giving aid and comfort to the enemy every day. If he posted here daily what he says on his show, he’d get the zot.
JR, your post was great. You are simply my hero.
Levin also attacks Trump’s supporters. He has not been exactly kind.
