DON LEMON, CNN: How many people predicted the demise of Donald Trump in the last six, seven months? He is still around as far as I can tell. And it is a phenomenon in politics not seen since Ross Perot. Amazing.
BOB BECKEL: You know, you are right. I always say if anybody is running for president, for office I always take them seriously. Always taken Donald Trump seriously. I think people have underestimated him.
LEMON: Did you watch the interview earlier, the fundraiser to night? What did you think?
BECKEL: I watched it. I was just stunned. Look the -- Trump is getting money. Forget this thing for a second... The fact of the matter its that Trump is getting money from blue-collar workers who send him checks for $250. Why? Who is Donald Trump. It's not who he is, it's who he isn't....

I sorta kinda miss Beckle on The Five. I rarely watch it, but when he was on, it was more entertaining.
LOL. Trump has only been running for three months. I know, it seems like a lot longer.
I was going to offer the plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face explanation of Trump’s appeal, but I don’t want to jar them out of their error. Trump has already told them plenty of times.
He is funding his own campaign, he's not taking money from ‘money bags’...and many on here have said they have donated to Cruz or Bush or to who ever...what's the difference? They are getting money from the sponsors to tell the candidates what to do, and Trump isn't, so what's the big problem here?
And it seems like an eternity until the next election. One thing: Trump isn’t like Perot - Perot ran as a 3rd party candidate and was a spoiler. Trump is in it to win it.
Perot ran for one reason and one reason only: visceral hatred of GHW Bush.
He was a lib, yet he despised the muzzie invasion.
Geraldo or Juano as replacements? No thanks.
Except at one point Perot was in first place. That’s when he panicked that he might win and quit — before he reentered and never recovered.
CNN now on cable predicting his demise because he did not protect Barry from his muzzie roots. I thought that was a badge of honor with libs and the MSM - but I repeat myself.
I totally agree!
He was clearly a lib, but not brainless.
I was specially impressed by his grasp of islam and its stranglehold on funding terrorism.
I was amazed at first but he was relentless, in spite of goody-two-shoes at the other end on the table. She is embarrassing. Knowledgeable, but terminal PC totally has cancelled out her grasp of reality.
Beckel's exit and the arrival the loudmouth jerry rivers made watching The Five pretty much a waste of my time.
When Beckel is not sniffing glue he’s fairly smart.
I’m not a fan of Perino, Guilfoyle or Tanteros, so the 5 was almost unbearable. I didn’t think it could be worse, then, surprise, surprise....Geraldo! I couldn’t turn it off fast enough.
The two are interchangeable so let's just call them both.....Guano, after all I think they are both batshit crazy!
I just watched a discussion between three extremely low-IQ “experts” on Fox News about how Trump is losing media coverage. All the while not ONE of them noticed the IRONY of their own media coverage of Trump!
The fact is, the media lies. All the media lies all the time.
A vote for Trump is a vote against the lying scumbags in the media.
Beckel must be out of rehab again.
Hard to to believe, but Beckel is less obnoxious than what replaced him on The Five.
Beckel is like Trump. He thinks it, he says it. Bring Beckel Back Mr Ailes, or have you been bought or blackmailed?
I used to watch him, too. The girl that sat to his right I can not stand. He didn’t say he liked Trump but he did like the campaign. Like all of us. I like Cruz.
