Has it occurred to you that Levin has good reason to doubt Trumps policy views? It may end up that you are correct, Trump will win and govern as a moderate conservative. But it is also possible that Trump loses or wins and governs from left of center. We will see who is correct in short order I think.

Surely you aren’t suggesting that Trump was conservative and now is Liberal?

The correct line is “Trump has always been a Liberal”

Wouldn't have this problem if all the damn "conservative" republicans we sent to office just did what they promised. Ryan, McConnell, Boehner and yes, even Cruz....

That once crossed my mind, actually. But Cruz’ embracing Beck (and that ridiculous fake swearing in ceremony onstage with Beck) cured me of that.

Levin is a cantankerous fidget who is set in his ways and looks on the Cruz of earlier days and can’t quite seem to see the glaring transformation of Cruz in his quest for the one-true power.

Fake swearing in ceremonies, Cheeto Faced Beck, premature highly dubious VP selection, et al.....I won’t even get into the chosen one religious aspect. It’s nuts. Cruz is nuts. And Levin is too stubborn to admit he’s wrong.

But what about this interview - he said he’s very conservative. We now know Levin’s a liar. THe only question is, was he lying then or is he lying now?

I was still a nightly listener to Levin when he was interviewing the presidential candidates - Jindal, Trump, Cruz and one glaring difference was in the way they responded to Levin's questions. If you ever noticed, Levin frames his questions as if he already knows the answer. When he questioned Trump that way, Trump would say "no, it is such and such", not the way Levin phrased the question. On almost every question.

Jindal and Cruz had the same response to Mark "Exactly Mark". Made me think this is the new catch-phrase of the election cycle.

It wasn't much after that that Mark became Cruz all the time and I have not listened to Levin since he left on his Christmas break.

Funny, the best possible outcome I see is that Trump somehow manages to win, DOESN’T lost the house or senate to the democrats, and manages to end up being a somewhat moderate republican president, rather than the reactionary technocrat he appears to be.

ON the other hand, the likely outcome is that we get 24/7 news coverage of every idiotic, ridiculous thing Trump has ever said, like accusing Ted Cruz’s father of meeting with Lee Harvey Oswald. By the time the media is through, nobody will be willing to admit they would ever vote for a crazy man to be President.

And of course, billionaire. And then they will cut off his base by running clips of him saying exactly opposite of what they want to hear.

Who wanted Cruz? Well, the conservatives couldn’t manage to jump on board with one of the decent governors, and they threw a hissy fit about Rubio, and too many decided a doctor would make a better president than someone who actually had governed something.

It saddens me how gullible now so many conservatives have become, to actually believe a word Donald Trump, the performer, says.

Mark was perfectly happy with him until Stone pointed out his finance’s son’s connections to Cruz.

Since when does a married man have a finance?

I don’t think anyone knows how Trump will govern. His concerns are immigration and bringing jobs and money back to America. If anyone is looking for Trump to deal with social policy, you can be sure that’s what Hillary will hammer him on.

Hopefully he won’t take the bait, because the minute he says something that shows any sign of liberalism, his campaign is over.
