Mark has been sounding a man possessed the last couple of months. I used to listen faithfully, now I can't change the channel fast enough.

Just for a little experiment, I checked in on him every 20 minutes or so last week. Sure enough, every time I did he was literally ranting and foaming at the mouth over the monster Trump.

I guess he has no staffer brave enough to tell him he's become a complete turn-off to a large portion of his listenership?

He's lost me for sure...

Mark Levin - as most who have heard of him know - served in the Reagan Administration. He believes - as I do - that Reagan was probably the best post WWII president we've had, and would probably rank among the top 5 in our history.

But as great as Reagan was, he was not perfect nor was his administration. Did the government grow during Reagan's watch? Yes.

Did Reagan nominate some clunkers to the Supreme Court? Yes - O'Connor and Kennedy.

Mark Levin does not - it seems - recognize just how much the Ruling Party Ds and Rs have changed the electorate of the country with its open borders policy and cradle to grave socialism. When Reagan was first nominated in 1980, the electorate was center-right. Think of a football gridiron, with the 50 yard line being the political center - we were likely somewhere between the 40 and 45 yard line of the RIGHT team.

In 36 short years, we've moved well past the 50 yard line and we're likely now center-left - somewhere between the 40 and 45 yard line of the LEFT team.

Like everyone else, Mark Levin has an agenda. He's backing Ted Cruz in this election, as the next Ronald Reagan. That's fine - that's his prerogative, and I have no problem with his doing that. But I don't find Levin convincing in explaining just how Ted Cruz will win the General election. What state(s) will he win that McClown or Romney didn't win?

How will a CONSERVATIVE (who even Levin admits does not have Reagan's charm and charisma) win over an electorate that is far more left than it was when Reagan ran?

Levin apparently still believes the political system and Constitution is salvageable - as a national talk-show host, I suppose he HAS to believe that. I on the other hand do not believe it. All the evidence I need is the fact that Zero was elected twice, and now a criminal stands a good chance of succeeding him.

So I opt for the figurative "bomb thrower" in Trump. Since the system is broken and corrupt anyway, we might as well roll the dice and see what happens.
