Wow I'm a bit surprised..... Levin has always seemed like a straight line GOP establishment type guy.... Surprised he's not endorsing the establishment choice..... But then again he detests McConnell and 'the turtle' backed Hyde Smith if memory serves.
Here the link to the article.

Levin is not an establishment Republican guy. He is a constitutional conservative. He regularly talks about How Ryan, McConneell and the other Republican leaders are not acting like Republicans. He would support a full Tea Party slate.

Well....seems to me every time I hear him he's talking about being a republican and the virtues of republicanism....That is usually an indicator of the blue blood republican types.... I do recall, for sure, he was a never Trumper....although he's modified that stance since the election... I suspect he lost a lot of listeners when he trashed Trump repeatedly. The never Trumpers have gone somewhat underground and while they don't outwardly oppose Trump as before the election they don't defend him either....
I will say that Levin seems to defend Trump now...just wonder if he isn't holding his nose when he does so.... As I recall he was pretty much revolted by the thought of Trump becoming president.... It's interesting to hear him defending Trump now....
His knowledge of the Constitution is strong and he does a good job educating people on the misapplication of those principles found therein that the left continually trots out and tries to bastardize to their ideology. The constitution is the big obstacle they would like to eliminate or neutralize more than any other thing..... Our founders were truly brilliant as they anticipated the future attempts to subvert this country. Levin understands that aspect very well...

McDaniel is pure trash, plain and simple. Only someone that votes along party lines could ever try to defend that loser.

Well...his opponent, from what I read, was a lifelong democrat turned republican, I suspect, out of expediency....I look for her to vote more like a democrat than a republican or conservative.....a lot of voters are likely confused by the choices....

McDaniel runs his mouth way to much. I grow tired of the pound your fist and wag the finger politician that has to breath fire on every outrage driven talking point.
However, the issue is the republican party has rolled over and taken it in the rear for the last 20+ years and a lot of people are simply tired of it. One thing I will say though, the republican party at least has people that are trying to hold itself in check. The jeff flakes, susan collins, john mccains, john kasik, etc. They are all progressive republicans, but are solid "party republicans". I am a hardcore conservative libertarian. I want individual freedom and a small federal government. I believe the leaders of the liberal left today are a threat to common sense and health of this country. I believe there are a lot of solid democrats out there, but they have let the fruitcakes run their party into the ground and the media is the PR arm of this movement. There are no democrats out there trying to reign in the crazy far left sprint to the fringe left and this is why I will continue to work hard to get republicans elected. Because again, even with people like McDaniel who is a little out there, there are more republicans to keep folks like him in check. I believe he will simmer down once elected. he got screwed in his first run by Thad imo.
If the dems win the house and senate, this nation will have a crazy 2 years of unprecedented turmoil. Heck, even if they win the house there will be a high level of apeshittery. However, if somehow the republicans hold onto the house and senate, the violent tendencies of the the left of the last few years will explode. Not saying the right has not be self destructive in many cases. but the left has been hateful and destructive and they have had zero accountability and they continue grow more brazen in their actions. It will get 10x worse if they lose in November and the media will be 10x worse in how they report reality
