On Monday’s Mark Levin show, Donald Trump has been whining against the “Art of the Deal” for the last month. He certainly has been dealt by Ted Cruz in states like Wyoming and Colorado. Now Trump is complaining about collusion by John Kasich and Ted Cruz teaming up to stop him. There is nothing illegitimate about trying to stop the other guy from getting the nomination. In 1952 Robert Taft and his supporters sought to stop Dwight Eisenhower from being nominated by forming a coalition against him. Despite Taft’s efforts, Eisenhower won the majority and never complained about having to get it. This is part of the process. Right now, it looks like Cruz has read the “Art of the Deal” and Trump has not. Later, former Admiral John Kirby has become a mouthpiece for the Obama Administration of the worst kind. We were told that there were not going to be boots on the ground, and Kirby is denying that this was a position of the Obama administration. Now , 250 more Special Ops are going to be sent to Syria. Finally, UFC fighter Frankie Edgar calls in to discuss his fight at UFC 200 in Vegas.
