LEVIN: I'M VOTING FOR TRUMP ... HERE'S WHY

[sinkspur]

@beandog

Same.  It's difficult for these talk hosts to make it through November without supporting the nominee.

Cruz could endorse Trump and it wouldn't change this house's mind.

Conservative talk show hosts, by definition, are dependent on ratings and listeners.  So it's no surprise they're all caving.  They have NO real principles that aren't wallet-related.

Glad Levin finally came to his senses. There is a practical decision to be made, and that is not allowing Hillary the presidency.

In a battle of unelectable candidates, Trump is looking more palatable everyday especially in comparison with Hillary. Never is a very, very, long time. A lot can happen between now and never.

[musiclady]

It was ugly as much because he knew he would disappoint people as for Levin's own principles.  I have listened to Levin long enough to know he will increase in this position.  I've seen it coming for some time.  I love Levin, but he is wrong about this.  Doesn't matter.  What will be will be.  For me, voting for Trump or Hillary would be a massive violation of everything I believe in.  I don't care who tells me they are voting for Trump.  I will not budge.

That's where I am @RAT Patrol.   I respect everyone's right to make his or her own decision......... even one I disagree with, like this....... but no one else will convince me to do what I believe for me is morally wrong.

I know a lot of people will reluctantly end up voting for this reprobate, Trump, but I can't in good conscience do that.

I want to be able to live with myself, and sleep at night after election day.

Anyone surprised?   Levin owes his celebrity to scammity.   Birds of a feather.

No, all of these talk show guys are looking out for the bottom line. They know Trump in going down in November and they want to be able to tell their audience  for the next for years how they supported their guy and look how bad Hilliary is.....

[musiclady]

Not this one.

I do not care if I am the only person on the planet who isn't voting for Trump.  I will not be going along with the seig-heiling masses.

The split second Levin pumps or pushes Trump when a caller tells him they will not vote for Trump - I'm canceling my Levin TV subscription and that will be the end of listening to talk radio.

You're not even close to being alone, @INVAR .

There are a lot of us who aren't malleable.  The idea that my convictions would disappear because a talk show guy decides to do something I consider unthinkable, is ridiculous.

They're called convictions because they don't change with the wind.

[Applewood]

No.  Trump said he doesn't want it and endorsing Trump does Cruz absolutely no good.

Actually, Ted Cruz would alienate many of his supporters and he needs them for his upcoming Senate re-election bid.  He would be foolish to endorsevTrump..

"Caving".   You might want to go listen to what he said before you leap to that conclusion.

I'm going with Trump unless he doesn't behave himself.

I'm going with Trump unless he doesn't behave himself.

He already hasn't.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

He already hasn't.

He's been ok since the convention.

[Ghost Bear]

He's been ok since the convention.

I guess you'll just have to hope he doesn't shoot someone on 5th Avenue between now and the election.

Trump will likely do or say something stupid that blows his recent momentum. That being said, he's preferable to Hillary as is.

Trump may or may not be "unreliable".
We don't know that.
Perhaps he will swing towards our favor once in office.
Perhaps not.

But one thing is for certain.
hillary is VERY RELIABLE.
We KNOW what we're going to get from her.

So... as far as I can see... better to "take the chance" with Trump, than eschew him and get what you KNOW you're going to get from hillary...

I haven't listened to the screamer Levin in four years.  Ain't about to start.  I don't really care what he says or does.

[roamer_1]

Levin's been saying all along that he might or might not vote for Trump.  I expected he might.

Yep. Expected.
Doesn't make a difference to me.

[roamer_1]

That is the very definition of 'unreliable'.

"Trump is still better than Hillary"………

I marvel at the fact that among self-identifying Conservatives, the presidency has become a monarchy or a dictatorship, the same way the Left views it. 

The Republic is already lost and few to none dare notice it.

The only way that is not happening is if Obama decides to stay, or you orchestrate a military coup to undo the velvet coup that took place under your nose the last election cycle.

I noticed!  In fact I noticed quite a long time ago but couldn't bring myself to admit it.

[bolobaby]

Great - with all these converts, you certainly won't need my vote.

(BTW, I just can't stand it when people say, "Yeah, but did you vote for Mitt? Did you vote for McCain?" as if to throw guilt upon me. At least this time when they ask, "Yeah, but did you vote for TRUMP?" I'll be able to say, "Nope. That's on you.")

I differ. My reading of Donald Trump told me all along he'll make an excellent president and that the man's remarkable abilities will eventually win over the electorate.

In fact, I can just feel the love welling up inside y'all...

Well you'll not be the only person not voting for Trump.

I'm going to remain optimistic about Trump's chance of beating her. His odds of beating her have been trending upwards, and her campaign is on its heels. A poor debate performance could easily tilt the race in Trump's favor.

We all need to get out there and vote Republican, and that includes Trump!

Well la-di-fricking-da! I for one don't care who you vote for.  And I certainly don't care what random internet forumers think about me voting for Trump.

Your opinion, and that of the rest of the Never Trumpers, or for that matter that of the pro-Trumpsters, ain't worth a bucket of warm piss in my opinion.

[INVAR]

Not gonna happen.

In fact, thanks to the Trump Militant - I'm making sure to work extra hard to persuade as many as possible to vote for anyone else but the two NYC liberals running.
