Glenn Beck's bad bet on Ted Cruz
Politico ^ | September 15, 2016 | Kenneth P. Vogel and Hadas Gold

Posted on 09/15/2016 7:54:53 AM PDT by C19fan

Glenn Beck’s dreams of building a dominant conservative media empire are faltering amid a tangle of lawsuits, financial challenges, plunging on-line readership, firings and political feuds. Beck, who in his days as Fox News host was among the leading voices of the anti-establishment right, invested heavily to parlay that influence into a wide-ranging media enterprise including not just a syndicated radio show, but also his own television network, news website, movie studio, book publishing imprint and clothing line.

Glenn Beck has NEVER EVER been a conservative.

He fully supports homosexual marriage.

He fully supports open borders and illegal immigration.

He fully supports marijuana use.

How can anybody think he is a conservative?

What most people don`t know is Beck`s empire was in trouble BEFORE he hitched his wagon to Cruz..I have always thought he went with Cruz to save his empire...That`s why he fought so hard for Cruz to win.He has tried numerous times over the years yo broaden his tv empire and has failed..He doesn’t have the subscribers that he needs yo keep the entire afloat

“Conservatives” losing it. Blaze cancelled.

I have been regular, listening to Glenn Beck and Mark Levin in the past and enjoyed their musings, analysis, postings. Then they got behind Cruz they made me wonder.

After Trump fought for and won the nomination, they went nuts. Successful businessman, family man, one seeing the derailment of Regan’s GOP into RATs ditch became the enemy of these “big mouths”. They disregarded the support of majority of disenchanted population, they “know better” - he is not “good enough conservative”. I gather he is supposed to be as conservative as establishment republicans, who shafted recent Tea Party elected reps into the garbage bin of GOP - the branch of Uniparty, who let Obama get away with dismantling US and building Caliphate.

They are getting behind who? Lying Ted Cruz who proved himself to be weird proselytizing “Christian” of Seven Mountain Dominionist Church and with all the baggage and twists during the primaries. They still stick to him and can’t get over that Cruz did not succeeded in continuing the line of ineligible Presidents.

They, media and establishment seem to overlook the “small” problem that Obama and Cruz are not NATURAL BORN CITIZENS as defined by founding fathers. Do we need another, even more complicated Cuban, Canadian destroyer of US? Wasn’t Obama enough to demonstrate how wise were the Founding Fathers in defining that important requirement not to have foreigner at the ruder? The silence of media and covering up ineligibility is deafening. But attacks on “birthers” are plenty, so shut up and enjoy the “politics”. Vote for another phony. If not we, Becks, Levins, et al will help to elect crooked Hillary, RAT Supreme Court and finish the conversion of US into paradise like Cuba, N. Korea, Venezuela....

Is Trump perfect, conservative, angel, savior of all? Can’t guarantee, but we are at the choice now Hillary or Trump. Compare past of both and we have the choice of really crooked politician vs. patriotic businessman who sees the present path to destruction and is offering some solutions to prevent that and to shake up the media/politician’s cabal. To stop the march to socialist hell, the choice is clear - Donald J. Trump.

Beck and Levin do not seem to get that we are at the threshold of irreversible path to destruction if enabling and electing another, more crooked Clinton. Frankly, I and many others had enough of their screeching and proselytizing and stopped to tune into their programs. It is just amazing to see how some “conservatives” are turning against people’s choice and trying to subvert candidate that people and reluctant party elected to represent in the next Presidential election.

Here is the chance to “fix” the rotten establishment and get the US back on track to greatness again, but we have unprecedented efforts of “Republicans” to destroy own frontrunner and our final surrender to Uniparty establishment to keep march of destruction into New World Order.

Looks like BeckLevins are losing big with their audiences. Cable network (Optimum in NE) just dropped Blaze from their channel lineup - The Blaze is no longer available.

I hope that Trump will replace bunch of Not4Trumps with millions of people who see what has happened under ineligible command and shake the establishment and bring the Freedom and Great America back.

Bye, bye, Becks, Levins, National Review and wake up before is too late!

When I think of why Beck is goofy, it has little if anything to do with Cruz. Seems like whenever I (rarely) turn his show on, he and his cohorts are giggling about something. It is unalienable.

Coun’t watch him when he was on fox, so now I’m simply suffering from an incurable case of Schadenfreude at his demise.

The guy appears to be lapsing into paranoia. Shades of David Brock.

Maybe imitating Rush’s successful lines of t-shirts, etc? Don’t tell me he’s pushing genuine fashion!

I always though Beck was a nut and I’m not surprised he’s failing like this. Cruz was so mistaken to get mixed up with him.

I couldn’t be happier for him.

I cannot believe people stayed with him for this long. I sure hope we’ve heard the last of this nutcase.

I gave up on Beck way back during his last few months with Fox, (when Roger Ailes even realized he was a major nutjob and got rid of him). Beck had started going off on rants about how he had obtained "secret" evidence that the Muslim "Grand Imam" (apparently their version of the anti-Christ or something) was alive and was going to seize control of the world with the help of Obama who would stage an economic collapse in the United States and use that as an opportunity to turn the country over to the Grand Imam. The conspiracy got kookier by the day with the Federal Reserve and George Soros supposedly involved and Beck saying he "feared for his life" because of the secret knowledge he possessed. Obviously nothing ever came of this nonsense, that's why I can't understand why anybody would still pay attention to anything the loon says. If you enjoy that type of radio go listen to some re-runs of Art Bell, at least he made kooky theories fun....

This article is devastating to Beck. Good riddance Glenn Beck, you SUCK!

When I think of Beck, it always reminds me of the look on his face when Trump stopped by an event where Glenn was stumping for Cruz. The small crowd, after realizing Trump was there, all RAN to the other side of the room to see Trump, leaving little boy Glenn mostly all by himself.

I wouldn’t put Beck and Levin in the same basket.

Beck is still in full on crybaby pout mode about Cruz’s loss.

But Levin has stated he will vote for Trump, and outline why fairly clearly. I listened for fifteen minutes yesterday, and Levin was doing a very good job of explaining why the release of Hillary’s medical records did not address her prior head injuries at all...and shouting that Trump wasn’t collapsing...IOW supportive of Trump.

Then he switched back to opposition to Trump’s new family leave proposal for new mothers. I happen to oppose it too...but I’m not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. And this is Levin’s biggest problem - he sees Trump do something that is not conservative, and he wants to ‘fix’ it. Well, we’re in the middle of an election, and now isn’t the time. So Levin is certainly not perfect, but nowhere near as butt hurt crazy as Beck, IMHO.

Beck happened after I’d already departed from Cruz, but he didn’t help so far as getting back in the fold would have been concerned.

It’s hard to sell a champion of the Constitution who doesn’t think Art. II applies to him; who uses self-serving legal sophistry akin to the left’s 2A militia spin to argue that the straight-forward language of the Constitution doesn’t mean what it plainly does.

For a long time Beck called himself a Libertarian...These are all positions that many Libertarians hold.

I flirted with Libertarianism for a while. Ultimately I decided the movement was just social liberalism trying to subvert the conservative movement by pretending to value the Constitution. I also say how Libertarian free traders where rapidity destroying the fabric of American communities all while lying about the benefits of it.
