Never trust anyone who voted for McMuffin.

Vance is running on his almost constant appearances on Tucker. I record Tucker so I can FF past commercials and Vance appearances.

Yesterday FNC described Ryan as a “moderate Democrat.” Maybe they have him confused with Paul Ryan....

I has severe reservations about Trump in 2016. For one thing he favored the Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London. I did not see him as a small government conservative, like Rand Paul, and I had doubts about his electability. But compared to Hilary. A total no-brainer.

But once he was elected, he delivered, big time. Absent the Covid hysteria, I am pretty sure he would have been reelected handily. I am in the “don’t know” category as to whether or not vote fraud defeated him, but I do NOT accept Biden as having been legitimately elected.

Sounds a lot like Graham and Hannity. Buyer beware here, IMO.

>> The dude endorsed McMullin. That’s more of an indictment.......he should be rerquired to explain that <<

I agree 100%. I was vehemently anti-Trump myself during the 2016 primaries (incorrectly assuming he'd lose in a landslide in the general), so I can't bash this guy for that. However, I never PRO-McMullin. I don't know anyone else who switched from Cruz to McMullin, either. I took one look at Egg McMuffin as the "conservative alternative" and said "yikes, this guy is to the LEFT of Trump", and that was the end of that. Not as bad as the pro-Hillary "Republicans" in 2016, but bad enough.

On a side note, I've never read this guy's book, but I DID see the movie adaptation earlier this year since I'm a judge of the Razzie Awards and it was up for some nominations. It's one of those "unintentionally funny", so-bad-its-good movies that tries to end stereotypes of "poor Appalachian Mountain folk" by PERPETUATING stereotypes of poor Appalachian Mountain folk. It must be seen to be believed.

Mark Levin didn’t support Trump either.

Fun trivia fact: Glenn Close is only the third person in history to be nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie for the SAME role, in this case portraying J.D. Vance's hillbilly grandma "MawMaw" in Hillbilly Elergy. After seeing the film, I can understand why. It's shameless Oscar bait, and her performance is up there with Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Both actresses really cranked it up to 11.

“It takes some people longer to see what others see, immediately.”

I am jaw-dropped looking at all of tgese responses.

This guy is running for office. A different office

Let’s see these guys make such statements when they are not running for office.

Let’s see how they behave after they’re elected.

Until proven otherwise, I see him as nothing more than an opportunist.

What this really reveals is that these politicians know they have to try and win the Trump base to win a state-wide election - most especially in states that Trump won.

Trump has left a lasting mark on the political landscape.

I'll watch and see who Trump endorses in this race, because he/she will automatically move into the top in the polls.

“Mark Levin didn’t support Trump either.”

Mark levin came upon his turn around honestly. I listened to the whole thing over months live on radio

Levin was not changing jobs nor running for office as this guy is

Stop

I’ll trust him if I can have three members of his immediate family to be held as hostages in an undisclosed location.

A feature of medieval feudalism that should be revived, IMHO.

Indeed. I was for Cruz until after the Texas primary. Once Trump was the nominee, there was no excuse for supporting a would-be spoiler like McMuffin.

"Mark Levin didn’t support Trump either."

I supported Cruz back then, but made the switch to the Trump train, and contributed to Trump, prior to the nomination.

My thoughts, exactly.

In politics the opinions change with the blowing wind.

I heard him speak on Tucker and to me he seemed to have a handle on the destructive nature of free trade and globalism.

So in other words you possess zero political savvy.
