There was no schooling involved. I respect Nathan’s opinion.

Either Levin has continued as a member of the Republican party several dozen ‘inches’ after his repeated threats to leave or he has not.

This is binary. Has he left or has he not left? Why does not matter one iota. Has he left or has he not?

My use of the word schooling was somewhat lazy. I should have said he made the case that Levin should not be dismissed as empty or lacking in substance when it comes to his bona fides. Years ago, I leared my wife was unfaithful. We had a discussion in which I told her if she ever did it again, I would leave. A few years later, I learned she was still up to her old ways. Did I immediately leave? No. I put together a plan to leave and then left a short time after.

I can't say what each individual's threshold is when enough is enough. I can say I believe Mark Levin knows the time is coming. He's probably like I was with the ex. You hate to admit someone or something you've sacrificed so much for can disregard everything so easily.

Many of us here, myself included, aren't wired the same as you. I wish I could so easily see what you see. I respect that about you and honestly have been persuaded by your arguments at times.

Having said that, if Mark Levin is not someone to regard as a serious conservative, who is?
