Radio host Glenn Beck said Tuesday that Donald Trump acts like the radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.
"He is Saul Alinsky," Beck insisted of the GOP presidential front-runner on his radio broadcast.
"[Trump] will isolate you and polarize you and he will take you out," Beck said. "He will destroy you. "He is spending money with Tea Party groups and churches and news websites to own them," the conservative pundit added.
Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" has inspired controversy over its principles on income inequality, politics and social justice.
Beck argued that the Republican establishment threatens Trump's lead in the polls at its own peril.
"[The GOP] is making themselves a horrible, horrible bed [if they] run campaigns against him," he said of Trump.
Beck said alienating Trump could prompt the businessman to run as a third party presidential candidate next year -- something that could benefit Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.
"What are the odds that he is a spoiler?" Beck asked of Trump. "What are the odds that he got into this because he's friends with the Clintons and he'll get a massive payback?
"Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton gets in because he ran third party?" he continued. "Do you know the favor they're going to owe him?"
Beck additionally suggested that Trump's policy stances "make no sense."
"He doesn't believe the things that he's saying," he said of the New York business mogul, citing his immigration rhetoric.
Trump has repeatedly warned the Republican National Committee he'll consider a third party run if it does not treat him fairly.
I was reading the excerpt and thinking what to say and you said it exactly, thank you.
Beck doesn’t deserve the ratings that Trump would bring upon him. Indifference may be the best treatment for this nobody.
:)
It’s not him. He just gets fed stuff from the right people.
Who’s Glenn Beck?
If trump ran third party, he’d likely take more votes from hitlery.
“Did I leave anything out?”
See that little slave squatting down in front of Washington crossing the Delaware? Did you know he was the one who really won the American Revolution. ~ Glenn Beck
Geesh.
The secret to success in ones life.
I do. I really enjoy his show.
Anyway, I have the same fear of Trump going third party. If it comes down to the best interest of the country and his personal ambition, I*m betting on the latter.
See, I wonder that too. It’s really odd. IMO, he couldn’t handle the heat.
So are his campaign speeches an act?
Bump, very nice post.
“Says the highly observant Glenn Beck about Dem Trump”.
Beck was all for queer “marriage” and started crying when the worthless Kennedy gave it to America. This SOB is crazy. He’s no more conservative than my St. Bernard when he’s hungry. And if Beck is so upset that Trump might be the next president he can run. After all he’s worth 100 million dollars. He can finance his own campaign. I live for the day when this fake and phony “conservative” goes into retirement. He nauseates me.
He was a sicko, druggie waaaaaay before he became *cough* a pundit, or whatever he thinks he is, and he's just reverted, on his own and long ago to boot, to being an idiot.
The dry drunk
Whatever
Thanks. I have class envy neighbors who possess small minds, hate Trump’s success, and call Trump a buffoon.
I used to respect him but quit listening to him years ago when he “jumped the shark.”
I don’t listen to anything he says and think he is some weird fruit today.
I think the problem is that he fell out of the tree of sacred conservatism into a pile of liberal cactus.
At one time I really respected him...today I can’t stand him.
Seems like there is a lot of class envy around here lately minus critical thinking.
