No matter how much anyone would like to see him win, IMO - Trump can’t win in a general election. (unless Hillary is indicted by Oct)

I’m not sure what Levin’s problem is, but if he’s referring to Trump pointing out a potential problem with Cruz-z-z’s citizenship as an “attack from the left,” then he’s already gone full court TDS.

He (Levin) is driven by conservative principles and a deep knowledge of and respect for our Constitution and laws.

Oh really?

Where was Levin when questions about Obama's qualifications for the office of the Presidency were brought up? Conveniently hiding under his bed!

He would not allow any discussion of Obama's qualifications to be discussed on his show and when people complained on his website about his censorship he repeatedly wiped all criticisms off the site as well as from his social media accounts.

...a deep knowledge of and respect for our Constitution and laws?

My azz!

I dont do crowds for anybody in fact the larger the crowd the more I avoid getting emotional sucked in. The country elected a svengali in 2008 and may well elect another one in 2016 replacing one king with another.

Landing at the bottom of a cliff still hurts no matter what screaming crowd your in.
If you can explain what you candidate will do or not do then the choice is based on reason. I see lots of drama and emotion around Trump not much reason. Just my 2 words. I dont dis anyone that supports him I get it. Just no clue how he would restore our constitutional liberty, but I hear it will be YYYUUUUGGGEE

I’m done with Levin. Listened to him for years, bought his books, gave credence to his opinions, but no more. Levin is an out and out flak for Cruz but won’t say he is. If Levin wants to endorse Ted, fine. That’s his choice. But to sit there day after day and claim you are neutral when you are not is being intellectually dishonest with your audience. But of course Levin needs ratings, so if he endorsed anyone outright, he’d lose part of his audience. And CR is all but an extension of the Cruz campaign, which Levin happens to be the editor of and plugs relentlessly. Levin is stuck in 1982, and if he’s not hawking books or his father’s books he’s screaming at the top of his lungs at anyone and everyone. He’s grown to be a tiresome act.

“There’s some sort of consensus that Cruz is the best man at this point.”

Among whom? People who rate their chosen candidate based on some kind of check-list of someone’s idea of conservative do’s-and-don’ts?

Personality, leadership ability and - yes, the ability to draw voters from the left and center is VERY important - and I don’t see that in Ted Cruz-z-z. I’ve tried to watch several of his speeches and they’re about as engaging as... well, seeing a lawyer prattle on. Even if, somehow, he ends up being our nominee, I CANNOT see him drawing enough voters to win the election away from the RATS - which is the whole point.

You replied to the wrong person. But I agree with your point. My eyes glazed over.

another trumpeter adding another staunch conservative to their list of “he’s not conservative because he doesn’t love trump”

Here’s a hint...when you’re part of a group, but you start screaming that “everyone else” has lost their minds and are traitors to the group...it might not be the “everyone else” that’s lost their way.

Just sayin’

Conservatives do not support liberals who all of sudden start saying one or two conservative things (I argue he never says anything conservative because conservatism is dependent on rule of law and Trump has never cared anything about that). Conservatives do not support oligarchs who buy politicians. Conservatives do not support opportunists who praise rapists and give money to their enablers. Conservatives don’t support grifters who care nothing about the constitution. Conservatives don’t think Reagan was an empty suite. Conservatives knew in 2009 that Obama wasn’t doing a great job. I could go on.

Try “radio sure”. It has about 35,000 radio stations you can listen to. Just an easy download at radiosure.com. You can listen live to Levin on many stations.

I heard Levin say he was on the verge of maybe endorsing a candidate already last night.
From what I heard he is going to come out for Cruz.

Talk radio uses a blend of information and entertainment to create a platform for advertising. If people don’t listen to a particular host, he/she will soon be gone, so they must find a style and message that holds enough attention to be commercially viable. If you see them as sages or gurus, fineb- just don’t lose track of the true reality.

Everyone is subject to ad-based persuasion, we just prefer one type over another.

Conservative commentators rallying around conservative leaders used to be pretty standard. This site used to discourage leftist smears and it was often not tolerated at all. There are a lot of websites on which liberals can smear conservatives, troll conservative’s supporters, and promote their liberal idols. This didn’t used to be one.

"I heard Levin say he was on the verge of maybe endorsing a candidate already last night. From what I heard he is going to come out for Cruz."

I heard that, too. He said he wanted to be careful to choose a solid conservative, with a record that shows he can be relied on to not change his mind or his views all the time. Also, he wants someone who will not engage in attacks from the left or trash the base.

So it sounds like Trump to me, lol. /S

The first politically oriented topic I thought about this morning is Trump and the executive order. While a thread I am reading with this one makes me sick to my stomach the fact that Levin thinks Trump is dangerous is akin to my gut feeling.

What kind of "deals" is he going to make? What will he do with all that power after witnessing the uncontrolled Obama administration? Will the White House become the Gold House (I was imagining the East wing being desecrated to look like Versailles)?

Will he be bound by the Constitution in his heart and mind? We know what happens when a communist is in the White House. Go to the thread and consider if Trump can reverse executive ACTIONS, not orders.
