Wasn’t Levin a Never Trumper until he realized he’d lose his audience?

And whenever Trump looks like he’s going to pull out of the Middle East, doesn’t Levin start ragging on him again?

I’m not a fan of Lee - who was also a Never Trump - but Rand Paul has been right on foreign policy more than most Republicans. along with Trump, Rand opposed George Bush’s Iraq War, which Trump correctly calls one of the the biggest foreign policy disasters in US History.

So i’ll cut Rand some slack - especially because he opposes continued “forever wars” in the Middle East. Unlike Levin.

Levin was like many people and had no idea what Trump was going to do as President and was rightly concerned. Once Trump established his ideology Levin came around to support him, however not blindly supporting him, which is good in my opinion.

Levin is a lot of things but he is not a liar and he is not motivated by keeping an audience at all costs. Listening to him for one show will make that apparent.

Levin is really sharp and informative especially when taking about procedural processes in the house and executive branch.

It would be a real benefit to some FReepers to listen to him explain how the three branches of government function in relation to each other and avoid some of the ridiculous posts they make.

There’s room for dissent. Rand Paul is an interesting character, sometimes he makes me crazy, but he’s consistent. Matt Gaetz voted with the Dems, and explained very well why he did so. Gaetz has been great in his support of President Trump, so this disagreement is simply that, a disagreement. Actually Gaetz makes a good case, and in more rational times, he’d be 100% correct.

Mark Levin is simply annoying. His schtick is to slowly ramp himself into a rage. Meh.

You're exactly right. Levin was anti-Trump and pro-Mike Lee (and Ted Cruz) during the campaign and slowly changed over to pro-Trump only after he won the election. (He also kind of pretends that never happened...) But since Mark Levin was so damn clueless during the campaign, I lost a whole lot of respect for him and really haven't gone back. (I used to be a daily listener.) I never forgot when he said that Donald Trump was a reincarnation of Richard Nixon, but Ted Cruz was Reagan. I think that was an insulting slam, and he was clearly wrong about that. Also, supported Mike Lee as he was actively trying to kill Trump's campaign.

Rand Paul will come around once he sees that Trump has been consistent about his doctrines and strategy and a war with Iran doesn't materialize (unless they continue to directly attack our people). I don't disagree with Rand that the pro-war Neocon types are trying to go to war in Iran.

You know who did get it right all along? Buck Sexton and Dan Bongino. My "go-to" political/news talk radio hosts now.
