Today Rush also expressed concerns if Trump may be another McCain after mentioning his desire to reach across the aisle.
The Socialist/Democrat/Marxist/Communist/Globalists have been undermining the US Constitution for many years. If Levin thinks that the great unwashed and relatively uninformed will vote for Cruz; who has been actively advocating against abortion and gay marriage, the issues that make conservatives pariahs, will vote for Cruz then he’s out of touch. The social conservative issues are not popular issues with the majority of Americans. I am not saying Cruz is wrong, but in this time, these are not the issues that would enable him to win.
We must win incrementally.
There is NOTHING more conservative than stopping a permanent democrat/marxist voting majority and doing whats best for the people and the country. By virtue of Mr.Trump’s position on illegal immigration he Trumps all others conservatism.
Trump is a deal maker. He has made a deal with the American people. He won’t squelch on the deal.
Campaign rhetoric doesn't mean he has changed. It could mean he is pretending to change so he can garner conservative support.
Tactics can be used by anyone.
“Levin really screwed the goat tonight. He is finished!!”
*******************************************************************************
I think that the great patriot and defender of the Constitution, Mark Levin will be just fine...he is most definitely NOT “finished”.
Your tag line is: “Trump is not bought. He is no puppet.” The funny thing is, Trump just adopted the green leftist Ethanol lobby as his own cronies as they feed and grow fat on taxpayers’ money from the federal government trough. And THAT is not a good sign.
First Rush and now Levin? The GOPe must have something on them both! Ofr maybe thtas where all Yeb’s money is going to?
The majority of Trumps support are liberals or the Ron Paul wing...and many Obama voters.
I agree with Mark.
Trump swung and missed on Scalia.
He swung and missed on Ethonal.
And he struck out on attacking Cruz’ heroic defiance of the scumbags in the Senate.
However, I am not inspired by Ted’s actions. He is alleged to have questioned Trump’s judgment without detailed specifics. If the allegation is untrue, he made no attempt to issue a press release that the allegation was false. A day later, Trump challenged Cruz to say to his face what was questionable about his judgment. Ted did not respond.
And a day later yet, Ted backed the GOPe in stating that a brokered convention was not cheating. While that is true, that was not the context. The context was whether a brokered convention was FAIR, not whether it was cheating.
Because Ted possesses a brilliant intellect, and because he is articulate, he had a chance to shine in his response. He did not shine.
Therefore, the flap is not a dealbreaker for Trump supporters.
The Scalia and Ethanol issues are of concern but are not substantial.
Regarding affirmative action, any president will not have the power to shut down court challenges to AA. In this day and age, AA can only be supported on grounds that discrimination is allowed by colleges and employers which today is truly part of a bygone era. Most of the lawsuits are in state courts and federal law bars discrimunation, so it’s dead all around. A president can’t do much in this area, if anything. He can appoint judges, but they don’t have a law to use, so any misrulings will in time be overturned. That’s what’s happened in the last 20 years and there’s nothing in society that would change that trajectory.
As for Ethanol, it was as mentioned above, a swing and miss. The game and series are still in play, and this one issue is not costing the whole season. Therefore, it will be forgotten soon enough.
But it’s good that Donald is put on the hot seat to persuade conservatives of his genuineness.
I look at Donald as a bear who saw Ted Cruz getting a little too close to the honey pot. The reaction was predictable. Ted is damaged broadly, whereas Donald has to face conservatives now and keep their vote.
All in all, these two fine candidates shot each other in the foot. I hope next week they can recover.
I’ve always said Donald has broader appeal than Ted, and it’s true. And we can’t gamble on a lower margin candidate like Ted, We have to trust in Donald.
Donald is rock solid on defense, borders, trade, immigration, terrorism, jobs, taxes, debt. He’s tough, very very tough. And we need this kind of toughness, a no prisoners type of approach.
Scalia, Ethanol, Cruz are all minor concerns next to Donald’s bedrock issues.
Mark can have his rant and he’s justified in it, but I predict this is forgotten soon enough.
People should know by now that Donald says the most outrageous things and gets people talking. Then he comes back with a more reasonable settlement offer. That’s what he does, that’s who he is.
Reminds me of this: 1 Samuel 8
"We want a king. Give us a king." They got Saul.
Why must humans keep repeating the same mistakes? We are soon just going to be saying, "Remember when..."
Common Sense by Thomas Paine: "But where says some is the king of America? I'll tell you Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal of Britain. Yet that we may not appear to be defective even in earthly honors, let a day be solemnly set apart for proclaiming the charter; let it be brought forth placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America the law is king. For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other. But lest any ill use should afterwards arise, let the crown at the conclusion of the ceremony be demolished, and scattered among the people whose right it is. "
What do we have now, Mr. Levin? Would we move the marker closer to our union with Mr. Trump or farther away?
Wendle, Is it too late to say, “Welcome to Free Republic?”
I just went back and reviewed your posting history. I don’t think your conservative creds add up. You don’t seem to be a fact based arbiter. Platitudes and whimsical denigration are tools of the left. FReepers are meat and potatoes, facts and history kind of folks that have differing levels of conservative opinions. I don’t believe you know anything about Levin or have ever listened to him.
Are you a troll?
So how do they know what he really means? How do they know what they are going to get if they vote for him? Seems to me they all have a Magic Trump Decoder Ring that turns everything he says into exactly what they want to hear.
Apparently you are not going to vote for him.
Those that support him, trust him because of his record and sincerity. You don’t see any of that, so you’re not included.
Ok? Run along now.
Actually, you should read "The Art of the Deal." Misdirection is the theme. What you said and what you meant, what you want and what you'll settle for is his game. Collecting the right cards and playing them is Trump's game. He is good at getting on the right side of all deals, including the American Presidency. Be careful about assuming he won't "squelch on the deal." I don't know what you expect. But he has no intention of deporting illegals. That's the motivator. What comes next is the fight. What he settles on is the "best he can get."
Wisdom from eons past:

You all need to actually listen to what Cruz said as apposed to regurgitating and excuse. Listen for yourself and let me know what HORRRIBLE thing Cruz said about Trump. TRUMP was the one that said Cruz was attacking him. FReeper up!
He has no record. He only has bombastic talk. As for sincerity, ask the people who have had dealings with him and say that he stopped paying for a project at 80% of the promised bid. Or ask the lady who had to go to court because he wanted to take her property via eminent domain. He sincerely likes himself and his own wealth. All other claims of sincerity are mere wishful thinking.
Ok? Now run along yourself.
Ridiculous irrational cynicism makes your ass look big and your mind look small.
Trump is only what a five month old politician? Cut him some slack. Cruz and those other cuckservatives have been talking the talk for a long time now. Smooth, sometimes words that, oh, yes, take a politico to the proverbial woodshed, but results oriented? Not a snowflakes chance in heck! I think if you talk with Trump you will find that he is results oriented. Cruz fought in the Senate but accomplished nothing really.
Ya all have trusted the politicos before, even Cruz has screwed up. Don’t lose the prize over words!
Results! Action oriented, proof of what I say will get me the result I want - not more words that do nothing but sell more political pundits books.
I want a big wall on the southern border! We want to end illegal immigration! Is that what you want?
GOPe establishment, leftists, media and pundits are going to cause you to all forget why we want Trump. Cause he said he would fix it.
Don’t get caught up in the purist conservative spoof, that will only allow the globalists in both parties to kill our resolve to end illegal immigration and get the wall built with a Trump Presidency!
We want the wall!
I’m not voting for Trump because I think he’s conservative. I’m voting for him because he is a patriot who loves America. He is conservative on the issues that count RIGHT NOW. And one more thing, Cruz is turning into an establishment candidate. I hate to say it, but my trust in him is diminishing.
