Glenn Beck admitted that he’s been wrong every step of the way about Donald Trump this presidential election cycle.
Beck went on CNN to discuss a possible jump aboard Trump’s candidacy, despite calling him a “pathological narcissistic sociopath.” He told host Alisyn Camerota that “Unlike some politicians I say what I mean and mean what I say.”
“I’m not suddenly in love with Donald Trump or a supporter of Donald Trump,” Beck said, while also saying that he’s not endorsing anyone in the race. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tx was the first politician he had ever endorsed.
“I will tell you this. The secret behind Donald Trump, because I have been wrong about Donald Trump every step of the way,” said Beck. “I just didn’t think that this would work. I just didn’t think people would take him seriously.
“I thought people would have a problem with some of the things that he said,” Beck continued. “But they haven’t. And when you see that the Bernie Sanders people are now saying a quarter of them, in some polls, are saying that they will come over to Donald Trump, it’s not about Marxism, it is not about capitalism, it is not about policy, it is about destroying the system that has been lying to us on both sides for as long as I’ve lived.”
Beck said the democrats and republicans are both out of touch with voters, hence the revolt and deep following of candidates like Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Meanwhile, Beck said Hillary Clinton is running her campaign like it’s 2008.
“Hillary Clinton doesn’t realize that the game has entirely changed,” Beck said. “She is playing the old main line politician that will say whatever they have to say to get elected. Donald Trump, I think also says whatever he has to say to get elected, but in a completely different way. It is not about what he is saying, as much as it is how he is saying it.”

The wild assortment of a seeming unending variety of eyeglasses alone gives me pause....
Sounds like Glenn is trying to regain relevancy...
Half a year late and half a billion short, ol’ buddy.
Bomb tonight’s BOR show with emails...
Has he seen the writing on the wall?
He can say or do anything he likes, but he made his bed.
Wow, this is a pleasant surprise.
Cheetos head is quick. Has he finally come around on the Earth not being the center of the universe !
Another reason not to watch BOR....
Okay, thanks. Somehow I missed that the first time I listened through the whole interview. However, it is REALLY not an admission on Beck’s part. It’s more of a Gee, how could so many people I didn’t agree with be so wrong.
Naw, I think Limbaugh has been in the Trmp camp for awhile, h e does have to appear unbiased.

I was talking about Beck. :)
You discount that any opposition to Trump may have nothing to do with Cruz? I supported Cruz and thought he’d drain the swamp and demolished DC admirably but honestly I could have supported Walker, Jindal, Rubio or Paul if they had made it.
If he wants to be an Ally, then fine. Welcome back.
Were I him, I’d request a private meeting with Trump, I’d apologize, and ask “What do you need from me, and how can I help?”
Really? I see Limbaugh mentioned with the other radio hosts.
Not just his career but everyone's associated with Blaze. I'm looking at you, Dana Loesch!
Beck’s back on the wagon doing his 12 steps...
I think pudge-boy is about to fall through the ice.
If this wacko wants to help he should close his mouth and go away, he was nothing but a cancer to the Cruz campaign.
LS this will ramble a bit.
I have grown up with Rush and as to be expected both of us have gotten older. I just don't find him that interesting funny or insightful anymore - perhaps its because he first helped us learn to spot the liberals patterns and now we can do it ourselves.
I don't find it that entertaining and its chuck full of commercials.
Rush has gone through a lot. The drug addiction is probably more painful then we will ever know. 3 or 4 wives I don't wish that on my worse enemy.
Bottom Line I don't really care anymore what he thinks or why he thinks it. I'd rather pop into FreeRepublic to get my new/politics fix.
I don't wish anything but the best for Rush he just seems - compromised in some way.
For those of us who were on the Trump train very early perhaps we have been counting everybody words the entire process and have gotten a bit paranoid. More than anything else the tone I get over and over from these media types is jealously and "yeesh I'm smarter than that".
Remember when Trump came in one of the things he repeated over and over is "I'm a really smart person" most thought he was being Trump Vain no he was pre-empting the common media attack against republican candidates that they are naive and stupid. He doesn't have to do that anymore with the mainstream media because they are easily hypnotized.
The so called conservative talk radio host all still think they are smarter than Trump.
Trump is wicked smart
Why is/was Rush better then all the other talk show hosts? Well one of the reason in my opinion was he wasn't in a hurry to get to the next caller and would really engage people and largely let them finish. This is not the case with most hosts. Medved is probably with worst at manipulating and twisting callers words/cutting them off or mischaracterizing them after hanging up.
I guess my point to all of this is - The Trump campaign has made us aware of many ways we are being manipulated and lied to. In the course of it I've gotten the sense that we don't have that same passionate Rush - its the perfect time to bring back the term femi-nazi and start doing caller abortions again. He admits NAFTA was a mistake (I supported it ) maybe I'll stop thinking he somehow not being honest.
Yeah Shapiro is pretty pathetic I know he has a very sick little girl so I imagine that stress is probably unimaginable. People need to stop drinking the purple kool-aid reflect upon the experience of recent history and do some of their own thinking. These talk show host seem to have been living in a disinformation echo chamber.
Thats' why I call them the pimps of punditry they tried to push a whored out Ted Cruz on us just like McCain and Romney.
I remember a time when Pat Buchanan was welcome on the Rush Limbaugh show
