Cruz does not have an inspiring personalit. Add his lawyer talk,smugness, Goldman Sachs wife and his preaching..it was a recipe for disaster. He convinced nobody except the hard right. He is no RR, not even close. He has no power of persuasion
Reagan was popular, but he was not a populist - he was a conservative.
Total B.S., of course. Populism is, by definition, popular with the people.
Yeah. Trump has a lot in common with “the common, working stiffs.” Right.
That is the definition of populist, being popular. And in 1980 Reagan didn’t run on a strict conservative platform.
More in common than a career pol has.
No, but you’re close. Populists appeal to the hopes and fears of the populace. That might make them popular and it might not.
Because amnesty and TPP was a-ok, but can't have people crawling into "Trump's gutter"! You're a clown.
Reagan fell short and we still suffer for it.
Well the bunker as I understand it is in Virginia, and Beck in TX. But point taken. I’m not especially a Trump supporter, just to clarify, but IMO Levin has gone total sneering schoolyard punk over his blind hatred for him. He’s adopted this style or arguing with himself as the dominant riff he does and it’s becoming seriously unentertaining as he repeats himself endlessly.
I’m frankly glad I didn’t subscribe to Levin TV. I would have to listen to him to feel like I got my money’s worth. There’s plenty of Levin for free on the radio and I’m less and less enamored with him over time.
Face it folks Ted is boring. He has know protestors. I mean how boring know protestor.
The term populism has a meaning, and had a meaning long before Trump ever thought about running for president. Levin is simply pretending the word means precisely what he wants it to mean. But it doesn't.
No, we suffer for it because after Reagan, we kept electing globalist goons that didn’t give a rats sh!t about America.
huh, a trumpster wants to deport mark Levin and Ted Cruz...yep populism is leftwing
TradeMark that now!
He is a smug elitist. When sundance exposed his relationship with Cruz(fiance son), thhe first thing he did was make fun of him working at publix. That was all I needed to see to show the kind of man he is. He spends half his shows promoting himself.
Which is Bravo Sierra.
Thank U. I am not responding to the crybabies anymore. The bigger threat is Hillary and the establishment

I thought that liberty was popular.
