Mark Levin: Trump 'Nixonesque' in Attacks on Cruz

Mark Levin: Trump 'Nixonesque' in Attacks on Cruz

 Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said Wednesday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is acting more like Richard Nixon than Ronald Reagan with his attacks on his main rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Levin on Saturday told Trump
to "cut the crap" in attacking Cruz over his citizenship and donations or risk losing conservative voters.

On Wednesday's show, Levin said Trump is acting "Nixonian" telling untruths about Cruz.

"If he becomes the nominee, a lot of people who otherwise would unite under that tent may not, because when you run a campaign of personal attacks, an Alinskyite campaign, wittingly or unwittingly, you turn people off," Levin said.

Levin said he isn't impressed at Trump's constant claims he will be better at making deals in Washington than his opponents, since the problem on Capitol Hill isn't the inability to make deals, but "the kind of deals they make."

He accused Trump of "dirty, low-down politics," and asked, " Is that Reaganesque or more Nixonesque?"

Finally, he played clips of Trump attacking Cruz over loans he received during his campaign for Senate.

"Stop lying about it!" he yelled at Trump. "But he won't."
