I doubt Levin is it either.

The problem is, contemporaneous Republican/Conservative positions and talking points don't lend themselves well to an intelligent argument.

I've debated a few folks who I had previously debated on conservative media in an independent fair forum and it was a bloodbath. I ran all over them. Outside of controlled circumstances, the vast majority of those folks either cant handle a debate or their positions are so ludicrous they can't defend them.

Buckley could handle himself in a fair debate and had positions that didn't sound like they should put him in the looney bin. I dont agree with his positions but that's where he was.

He's no where as stuffed with his own need to displace anything not resembling himself as Jones.

But he's also a far cry for Buckley. Maybe mid-way between these two poles.

He does has a pretended erudition, but Buckley's was based on actual learning and thinking.

Anyone with half a brain and willingness to be an observer of truth and facts is no longer welcome in the GOP.
