Talk radio and TV host Mark Levin on Wednesday endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for president.
"If you're a conservative, if you're a constitutionalist, if you've been a tea party activist, if you're a Reaganite or a Reagan Democrat, it really is in the end a simple decision," Levin said on his newly launched
Levin TV.
Levin said his endorsement was not an attack on the three other remaining candidates, businessman Donald Trump, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Ohio Gov. John Kasich, but rather an acknowledgement that Cruz "understands where this country has been and where it needs to go."
No candidate is perfect, he said, including his hero Ronald Reagan, but when looking at the whole picture, Cruz is the natural choice for conservatives.
He also said Cruz would "wipe the floor" with Democrat Hillary Clinton on the debate stage.
"We have said so many times, this is the kind of nominee we need to have," Levin said. "And it doesn't just happen. You have to vote for him."
