With all due respect Mark Levin is not trying to win the GOP nomination in the face of the GOPe and the MSM trying to destroy him.

Trump and Cruz are competitors. One has to win and one has to lose. Its a political race.

Levin actually thinks a real conservative can win the nomination. I don’t.

Levin’s picks for President have been Fred Thompson, Michelle Bachman and Rick Santorum. His style of candiate have all been disasters and cannot win. Time for a change.

You say “one has to win and one has to lose”. I hope you realize that there exists the possibility that Cruz and Trump would fall into the trap into which the mainstream media and GOPe RINOs are trying to trick them into. If they DO fall into this trap (which a number of their less discerning supporters want) there’s a good chance that NEITHER of them will win and BOTH of them will lose.

The REAL competition in this primary is the one between the Trump and Cruz wing of the Republican Party and the GOPe/’RAT/mainstream-media UNIPARTY. Right now, it’s heading in a direction in which Trump & Cruz will prevail over the UNIPARTY (with Trump the likely Presidential nominee I have to say if I’m honest). That result will allow conservatives to take over the Party and REMOVE the RINO apparatchiks from their power positions in the RNC and the national committees and replace them with constitutional conservatives.

Simply put, a Trump nomination ends the conservative movement in America.

I agree with that.

But, if there’s anything that I wish people could see, imho, is Trump is merely a guy who tells whatever crowd he’s speaking to what they want to hear.

To an extent... I mean I’ll catch myself here and say that obviously the man says some things, a lot of things that he gets attacked for.

But he’s going to tailor his message as best as he can to get the people he’s speaking to to try to support him.

That’s smart, sure. It also makes trusting him a little bit, or maybe a lot dangerous.

I’m not even focused on the attacks on Cruz. Although yes, calling Cruz a maniac for standing for conservative principles against McConnell and for standing for the people who sent him to Washington, is well, maniacal in and of itself. Or at least bewildering and, well, the argument that an establishment guy could and does make.

Being for ethanol and subsidies like it- yes, that’s not conservative. But more to the point, he’s “for them” because he believes most people in Iowa are for them.

Sure the guy might be able to attract Democrats to vote for him. After all, he’ll probably at least slightly turn and speak their language if and when he’s the nominee.

So with that in mind, how exactly would he govern the country if he gets the opportunity? Obviously we don’t know. Although I don’t have high hopes.

So I’m in the camp that those getting behind him will probably be some of the most disappointed people in the country- either because something will happen and he won’t be the nominee or he in fact will be going all the way to the White House- but let a lot of people down once there.

Just my opinion of course- but with some of the things he’s said and done recently, if that doesn’t set off alarm bells for some people here, probably nothing will.
