..Levin first singled out Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer for criticizing Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump for switching his positions. Levin pointed out that Krauthammer was a speechwriter for former Vice President Walter Mondale, who ran against Ronald Reagan as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1980 and as the Democratic presidential nominee in 1984.
"I'l tell you something else, I'm sick and tired of his intelligence being questioned by the stupidos on cable TV," Levin said. "He's an incredibly brilliant man, as are many of the people on that stage, incredibly. We got to sit here and listen to former Mondale staffers, a Mondale staffer says, "Well, he changes his view "
"Here's a guy, our friend Charles, who worked for Walter Mondale when Ronald Reagan was president, who supported Carter and Mondale against Reagan and Reagan," he continued. "And he changed his view but apparently only he can change his view. And now he's Mr. Conservative. OK, fine, fine, but you are a bit of a hypocrite."
Later in the segment Levin took aim at Fox News Channel senior political analyst Brit Hume, who he argued had an "obsessive hate" for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97%, also a candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
"By the way, I have to say this and I don't want to say this because I like the man, but he is exposing himself, so be it," Levin said. âI donât know of anybody that has more obsessive hate for Ted Cruz than Brit Hume at Fox. Itâs not personal. Iâm just telling you what I observe. Go ahead and read his â look, itâs open. Go ahead and read his Twitter comments. Itâs incredible.â
Levin then returned to Krauthammer....

LOL!

Mark calls them as he sees them. I listen to him daily, and he is one of, if not the most, clear-eyed, thoughtful, and principled conservative commentator.
He had Trump on about a month ago and was very was on him. But Levin was furious when Trump smeared Scalia and Cruz.
“George Willâs whole body gets tense with hate when he starts talking about Trump. It is hard for him to vocalize the venom he wants to spit. Watch him next time.”
Probably because Trump pointed out that Will dressing up like a pointy-headed intellectual doesn’t make him one.
SLAM.
End the argument———
“Jeff Sessions vigorously defended the Texan. âIt was a very decisive, historic vote, and Cruz was a valuable and articulate opponent, and Marco was an articulate proponent,â the Alabama senator said.”
Enough said.
