Mark Levin: I CRINGED when Trump brought up 9/11 in response to Ted Cruz NY Valu

[IndiCon15]

This is a link to therightscoop talking about what Mark Levin said on his show the other night.  I'm still not sure why I like Trump and I'd vote for a shoe if it could beat HRC, but I agree with Levin in that Trump's response to Cruz and his mention of 911 was cringe worthy.  Maybe Levin has got me a little suspicious of Trump.  Anyway, I heard it on Levin's show live, and thought I share it here.

Cruz failed the Trump rejoinder to his remark about NY values.  Way late now, what he ought to have said at the debate was "Donald, you know dang well I was referring to NYC liberal values, which you claimed to have (not mentioning it was a 17-year ago debate).  So most non-political junkies are left with the image of Ted rather serviley applauding the first responders Trump praised.  Folks, this game is not one the politician won.

The war?  Who can say for sure, but so far Trump has the advantage.  The truly amazing thing to me is no matter from which he's attacked this man has his finger on the pulse of America that even Reagan and Clinton never did.  Hate him
or love him no other personon will seal the deal like Donald,  because America is sick of leaders they perceive as being ineffective.

Despite the claims of Trump detractors that we his supporters are.blind, crazy and stupid, most of us see a deeply flawed.man who shares our vision of a great America once more and presents a non pc plan for getting us there.

Lots of people like Levin prefer what they consider the conservative credentials of Cruz but just as people on the left perceive Bernie as authentic, so do we Trump supporters.  For me the only unflawed man to walk this Earth went to Heaven a long time ago!

Trump used 9/11 as a cheap prop...just like Libtards.  The only ones that seem to be offended by or didn't get what Cruz ment are the Trump supporters who will defend anything and everything he says and Libtards.

Gov. Pataki said on Sunday he knew exactly what Trump meant and agrees.

Cruz gave a measured and very accurate shot to the nose of Trump and he's gotten Donald to react like a tantrum thrown child.

It's Trump that's failed in his response.

Trump better than Reagan?  Now you're sounding like the Ronulans of years past.  Ronald Reagan not only got Republicans to vote for him...he got Democrats too.  The majority of Trumps base IS Democrat...not Conservative Republican.

Trump even as late as 2010 was writing HUGE checks to Democrats like Rahm Emmanuel.  Don't kind yourself into thinking Trump is anywhere even close to Reagan.

Despite the claims of Trump detractors that we his supporters are.blind, crazy and stupid, most of us see a deeply flawed.man who shares our vision of a great America once more and presents a non pc plan for getting us there.

You're supporting a man who right before our very eyes is turning into what some people thought he was form the start...a plant...someone who really isn't a Republican...certainly isn't Conservative...but will run as one to help the Dems get elected.

You're blind to that...because you have blind support for Trump.  Same way the Ron Paul supporters did.

Lots of people like Levin prefer what they consider the conservative credentials of Cruz but just as people on the left perceive Bernie as authentic, so do we Trump supporters.  For me the only unflawed man to walk this Earth went to Heaven a long time ago!

Trump isn't authentic.  He's a populist.  He'll say whatever he thinks will get the biggest applause lines or the most ink in a newspaper.  And he'll change his stance tomorrow if he needs to.  Just like a Liberal.

Cruz is a proven Conservative.  The fact that he's hated by the RINO's in DC that Trump keeps using as an example is NOT a bad thing.  Its the same people that detested Reagan going all the way back to 1976.

Cruz should wear it as a badge of honor that RINO's detest him.  He told us when he was running he was going there to shake things up and fight the establishment.

I googled "Trump on Education" because I couldn't remember who said they'd cut the department of Education, which I think is an excellent idea.  Turns out he did say it.  He says education should be local, which it should.  He says Common Core is a disaster, which it is.  He's said a lot of good things even going back to 2000.  This is the website I found where you can research what each candidate has said about certain issues......
http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm

It's interesting to compare his statements from 2000 all the way to current.  I'd hope he'd be a good president.  I thought he was a shill for the democrats in the beginning, but now I seem him as being genuine.  If anything, Levin got me to look deeper into Trump, for no other reason than to be informed.  And that doesn't mean that die hard Trump supporters are not informed.  I'm not informed....enough.

Personally, I woulda liked to have seen Carly Fiorina up there, or if Rand Paul wasn't such a pill, I'd like to see someone like that.  I liked Ben Carson too, but the media wrecked that guy.  I would just hope that die hard supporters of any of these candidates will get behind whoever becomes the nominee.

There is this perception that Trump will bring in voters who might not otherwise vote for a Republican, which scares me into thinking that he's the only one who can beat Hillary.   

[Boudicca]

First of all,Trump had every right to,bring up the aftermath of 9/11 one time to defend his city.  Giuliani invoked it,constantly and I d on't recall him being accused of using it as a cheap prop.  Maybe by dems.   

I am tired of the unproven attacks on Trump being a plant for the dems.  Just because he gets support from the so called blue dogs does not mean he plans to sink the the R candidate for the sake of advancing a dem
nominee.  In case you somehow missed it his ego would never allow himself to be used that way. 

None of the Cruz supporters on this board complained when he attacked the others, or did I miss it?  but now it matters?  Really I get this board,overwhelmingly supports Cruz but don't  tell me I am blind to Trump's flaws.  I will bid you adieu for now, ,may the best candidate for America win the primary.

BTW, I did not claim Trump was better than Reagan, only that he's a better judge of the average voter mood.

Bullshit. 100% barnyard quality bullshit.

I thought we as Conservatives were done with cult worshipping when Dr Nuts retired. But it seems the fawning defend at all cost hero worship has switched to Trump.

We've got Conservatives defending and cheering Leftist Libtard smear tactics and it's disgusting. It's right from Saul Alinsky's playbook.

I never thought I'd see the day...

Agree.  For example, I'll read alot that says Trump is not a conservative.  & I'll agree, he's not. I've always saw him, & still do, as a nationalist, & one who understand a nation cannot be a nation without borders.  Its really that simple.  Our open borders, in my opinion, will undo everything our Founders & patriots @ that time fought for. 

&, at the risk of sounding repetitive, the word itself, conservative, has been tainted with the likes of so many rinos identifying themselves as such.  The most recent kick in the teeth for me was Trey Gowdy, campaigning for Rubio:  "Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust."   The tea party supporters helped get him elected to the Senate.  & after a short while, he joined the Gang of 8, & the rest is history & reflective of his poll #'s.

And that's all Trump is doing...using it as a cheap prop.  Like I said the only ones that are upset over what Cruz said are the people the remark was aimed at.

1/2 Any suggestion @tedcruz was referring to 9/11 is absurd- he was obviously referring to the liberal values of NY politicians such as...

And yet every day Trump shows a little more ankle...gives us a little more insight into who he really is.  First it's the leftist attacks on Cruz over a dead issue (Trumps words).  Then we find out he wants to raise subsidies MORE than the current President on Ethanol...an establishment crony gift to the state of Iowa.  The son of the Iowa Governor lobbies for the Corn industry on Ethanol issues.  The Governor of Iowa is out campaigning with Trump.

Then we hear Trump saying if he's elected he can "cut deals" with Congress.  Like it's a board room or the set of The Apprentice.  How is that any different from Christie or Bush or the current Republican leadership in Congress who brag about being able to work with Democrats...which has over the last 8 years into giving Obama 99% of what he wants on his agenda. 

The very things we HATE about the current Establishment Republicans in D.C. Trump is saying he wants more of.

In fact he comes right out yesterday in Ioqa and is bragging about how he's got D.C. Establishment politicians and the like coming to him wanting to know how they can be a part of his campaign.

That doesn't sound like someone with Conservative credentials or who's been touted as "anti-establishment".

So despite your protestations to the contrary...Trump is very much...by his own actions and deeds is sounding like the plant others accuse him of being.

None of the Cruz supporters on this board complained when he attacked the others, or did I miss it?  but now it matters?  Really I get this board,overwhelmingly supports Cruz but don't  tell me I am blind to Trump's flaws.  I will bid you adieu for now, ,may the best candidate for America win the primary.

You are very blind to Trumps flaws.  Are any of the candidates perfect?  No.  They all have had votes in Congress or as a Governor that could and should get hammered.

But those are legitimate issues based complaints.  Not Libtard style attacks like Rubio and Trump and a couple of others have done.  We expect that from the left.  It's highly disappointing when someone that supposed to be a Republican does it.

BTW, I did not claim Trump was better than Reagan, only that he's a better judge of the average voter mood.

No matter how you put it...what I said stands.  Trump isn't even in Reagan's neighborhood.

What exactly about Cruz is not "authentic"?  Please share that with us.

I'm just not sure why Trump needed to defend NYC.  Cruz was spot on and he brought up some very specific things about liberal NYC.  Trump dodged all that and went into a very well spoken 9/11 speech.  With that said, I would guess that Trump would do a fine job, I like his nationalist tone, his confidence, and his desire to want to make this country exceptional again seems genuine....

He is learning how to play politics just like ALL politicians do.

Don't think it is a big deal one way or the other. Most people outside of NY know that it is a liberal state.

And yet you trash politicians in general.  Imagine that.

Hey look!  What that?  Is that a moving goalpost I see?

 

[libertybele]

I cringe now anytime Trump speaks.  I cringe at the thought of him being president as he will continue the pandering to the Washington cartel.  He continues to show his liberal stripes and he is nothing more than a siphon for the DEMS.

I got my inspiration for my question from your post, and mention of cult worshipping.
I would like to think conservatives are immune to that.
Cult worshipping is naturally and best left to libs.

[IndiCon15]

I was listening to Mark Levin last night, and I caught the segment when he had Ted Cruz on.....  Levin was saying that Trump's personal attacks on Cruz could alienate conservatives if Trump wins the nomination.  Trump wins and Cruz supports decide not to vote for him in the general election.  And all Trump needs to do to prevent this is to take the high road....enough with the birther stuff, enough with calling Cruz a criminal..... That seems to make sense to me.  Although I would hope people are smart enough to vote for whoever runs against Hillary..... If you're worried about the establishment, isn't Hillary the best bet for those guys?  If they can't get a Rubio or a Jeb Bush, wouldn't Hillary be the next best thing in terms of them keeping their power?  So among a million other reasons, keeping the democrats out should be top priority.....

What's interesting is that Trump seems to bring in people who can't have ambivalent feelings over "their guy."  People are getting swept up by "the man who is Trump."     I don't think any of these guys deserve that kind of loyalty....  It seems totally reasonable to be worried about Trump........

I don't think it's enough, at least not for libs...

A birther lawsuit challenging Ted Cruz's eligibility was filed today in federal court in Texas.  I had previously written that such a lawsuit challenging the eligibility would most certainly lack standing and would be frivolous.  The lawyer who filed the complaint, Newton B. Schwartz, Sr., had been suspended from the practice of law by two separate states for disciplinary infractions.

That was filed a couple of days ago so that's pretty recent.  I wonder if the lawyer was acting on his own, or being egged on by one of the candidates....... 

[txradioguy]

The lawsuit...by this moron and the other crazies won't go anywhere.  But Trump knew that when he put it out there that people should do this kind of crap.

There is no standing for this person to file the lawsuit....anymore than there was standing for any of the Dems that filed lawsuits on Obama for the same thing.
