Mark Levin wants to once and for all put the difficult election behind the American patriots, be they Republican or of other persuasions, avid Trump supporters or reluctant, whole-hearted or less so. He says, “It is time. It is time that we stand our ground in defending Donald Trump’s legitimacy and the fact that he is the President-elect and to become the president.”
Levin, who it’s better to have arriving late to the party than out driving around lost in the wrong neighborhood, says, “Because I’m telling you right now and I’ve told you before, the media, the Praetorian Guard media, the Democrat Party, which puts party before country, academia and Hollywood, are seeking a coup of sorts. That’s exactly what they’re doing.”
He continues, “Standing up for Donald Trump in this regard. Not for every issue, not for every nominee, but standing up for Donald Trump is standing up for our Constitution, for the legitimacy of the election. We cannot allow the left and by the left I include the media, we cannot allow the left to decide who’s legitimate and who is not. And keep something in mind – they hate us too.”
Levin points out, “There would be no Jeff Sessions nomination if Hillary Clinton were the President-elect. There’d be no repeal of Obamacare, even an attempted repeal of Obamacare if Hillary Clinton had been elected. And I can go on down the line.”
“What they seek to do,” says Levin, “and they’ve done it even before the man is inaugurated, is to drive issues of controversy. I don’t mean controversy about specific matters, but the fact that he’s president, they want it to be controversial.

Trump made a speech which you say put the nation in peril. In making speech Ted Cruz is blameworthy.
Donald Trump had the power to stop the speech which would have saved the nation being put in peril but he is not blameworthy for failing to do so.
Is it the peril that changed or your standard which changed with the individual?
No, acts of Congress cannot change the Constitution. That is why the first act was repealed and its replacement removed the natural born citizen language. They realized their mistake.
Children of foreign nationals are not natural born citizens even if born here.
Children of foreign nationals born abroad are not even citizens unless the US citizen parent applies for recognition.
When did Cruz or his parents file for a CRBA?
Yep, I definitely agree!
Back in the day that Sarah was very popular here, there were always the PDsers that would Compliment Sarah to show their conservative bona fides then proceed with the insults, thus.
I Like Sarah but........
I did not address it earlier because it was such an obviously flawed way to address the issue of voting or not.
Curz had the opportunity to explain why a Conservative’s only vote of conscience would be Trump, because that was the truth.
Instead he uttered a line tha in essence could be seen as, vote for this seriously flawed man, or remain loyal to me. Vote your conscience.
What a selfish vindictive little person, willing to sell the nation down the river rather than be the bigger man God would have him to be.
Trump’s choice was to put the petulant child on the podium and hope for saner heads to rule, or deny Curz a spot on the podium and see an even larger portion of Tead’s twisted sisters screw the nation over by staying home in November.
You honestly can’t see that?
Tead pushed his ‘me me me’ routine to the bitter end.
Not buying what you’re peddling on this.
Levin's right ... swamp gators are trying to take Trump down.
I’m more worried about dem’s DOJ scam... swamp gators are getting desperate.
As I recall, the argument on Ted Cruz' side is that a natural born citizen is one who is a citizen by virtue of the fact of birth rather than by virtue of adjudication. That principle, the argument goes, applies even though one fills out forms in a foreign country which simply automatically gain the baby citizenship.
This means that Congress has the power or the authority to define natural born citizen because the Constitution vested that authority in Congress, the phrase not being otherwise defined in the document and thus Congress is not superseding the Constitution. The first Congress seems to have assumed that was the case.
You believe that the next Congress disagreed and they well might have, even Scalia, however, would not presume to tell us which. On the other hand, the next Congress might simply have been redefining its notion of what qualified or should qualify for natural born citizenship.
I think there are strong arguments to the contrary, but as I say, the Cruz side is not without its arguments and has a procedural history indicating that it might never get litigated.
“I would have preferred that Ted Cruz had given a full throated endorsement to Trump at the time but I understand why he did not and I believe Donald Trump could have cured the problem.”
Okay.
Ted Cruz gets 99% of the blame for acting like a back-stabbing douche-bag.
Donald Trump gets 1% of the blame for allowing it.
Are you suggesting the Trump lacked the capacity, the moral fiber, to save the nation from peril simply by withdrawing the invitation to speak? If so, we are in for a real rough four years.
Exactly. I could not understand him fighting Trump after the primaries. Glad to hear this. I like Levin, but could no longer listen to him tearing into Trump every day...and his immature stupid digs at Savage. Let it go already. He seems to really love holding grudges. Used to be my favorite host.
You know, I’ve kept quiet since I’ve long enjoyed your replies here, I’ve just been waiting for you to return to your senses. But, you’ve become very tedious with the barely concealed cheerleading for any poor perception of Trump, as well as the tendentious apologetics for any bad behavior of Ted Cruz.
Just wanted you to know that. Continue on as you wish.
Sorry to see you squirm rather than to admit Tead’s terrible decision last fall.
Switching the topic to disparaging remarks about me or Trump should be beneath you, when truth is on the table and you should admit to it.
Chief Justice Waite, Minor vs Happersett
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.”

I honestly have no idea what are you talking about?
I know.

and that’s just between mid-October and today
we have years and years and years of this stuff
you have ZERO EXCUSE to be so breathtakingly gullible as to take Mark Levin at face value
ZERO
If you’re not getting paid to say nice things about Levin, you are beyond naive to the point of being a reckless endangerment risk to others.
That does not imply an attack on Trump except when the facts of Trump's actions, as for example respecting the Ted Cruz speech, are pertinent. Even then I am very careful in choosing my words so as not to demean the character of the next president of the United States, although it has been necessary to characterize his actions.
You might note that poster after poster has assailed Ted Cruz, Levin and me in the most demeaning terms. I have tried not to do that or reply in kind for fear that the reader might think it "tedious."
Difficult election?
The choice wasn’t that difficult. You could see early on that Trump would fight and Cruz didn’t have what it takes to win a general election.
Self-impressed Pure Conservatives© voted for Egg McMuffin or otherwise did little if anything to prevent Hillary from becoming the most corrupt President in American history. Their lack of help is duly noted.
On a related note I see that Ben Shapiro is leaving his drive time gig on Salem radio’s flagship station KRLA. I wonder if Michael Medved can be far behind.
