Beck went off the rails long ago. Back in 2012 he was denouncing anyone who opposed Romeny as a Nazi. In 2015 and 2016, he denounced Trump and all his supporters as brownshirts and Nazis. During the SC primary campaign Beck announced that Scalia’s death was an effort by God to get us to vote for Cruz. There followed a long list of religiously inspired nuttiness. It was at that point that I stopped even paying attention to him.

Passing out stuffed animals to border jumpers was too much. Some of the "kids" with teddy bears had five o'clock shadows.

Beck is certifiable.

He lost me around the time he left FOX. A little before he left.

The last good image I have of Glenn is of all the yuge blackboards and Glenn predicting the Arab Spring disaster.

Something happened, (I have no idea what), and Glenn went off the deep end, forever after.

Every one who valued our constitutional republic last fall had a stark choice. Either vote for Hillary Clinton who would nominate a hard left activist to replace Scalia or to vote for Trump, who at least promised to nominate a conservative. Beck either didn’t get this or, worse, didn’t care because Trump didn’t meet his ‘standards’.

Learned a great deal from Glenn Beck. The show on FNC had some of the best info on the founders, and where to get more. The books both fiction and non, taught a great deal clarifying and demonstrating terminology, giving examples ‘en scenario,’ and providing entertainment to boot. The non-fiction being favorite. Sad to see the track away from solid research, grounding in facts, and clear perception of reality.

Best paraphrase ‘...don’t take my word for it, research it so you learn it yourself...’

The website became a click-bait hellhole that slowed my browser down to a crawl.

I abandoned the site long before Beck became a NeverTrump loon bag.

I listened to Beck when he was broadcasting from Philly, before he went on TV at CNN. He was hilarious and was a semi-conservative.

Every Friday during football season he did a phone skit named "more-on {moron} football", where they called 7-11, gas stations, fast-food joints etc. in the two selected cities between the game that they had selected.

He axed very simple questions and if answered correctly, points were awarded with team of the city with the most points being declared the winner of the up coming game.

It was fall down on your face funny, but as he became more rich and successful, moron football became 'politically incorrect' and he dropped it. It was the beginning of the end, and TV success went to his already addled brain.

Beck is off the rails, and I doubt that he can turn it around.

I can no longer listen to him, and that is a shame, so much talent, so little common sense {remaining}.

Sorry Ray, Code has your number. I would not call you an idiot myself since there is an IQ requirement. I would call you an ignoramus.

Not to mention, he bawled a lot.

For me, that was a real turn-off. Crying is for babies.

During his peak, the man was amazing. His show was as popular at 5pm as some were during prime-time. All of his books were instant best-sellers, and his radio show was even besting Limbaugh in some places.

Then he just snapped. It must have been some leftover issues from his drug addiction + not knowing how to keep his religion and his media properties + wealth/fame in balance.

Don Imus even gave him advice to knock off the waterworks because it was off-putting.

Beck built his career on conservative principles of self-reliance and complaining about “the swamp” in D.C. And, he always talked about Republicans making the mistake of seeking that “perfect” Republican. Beck became the very person he always complained about on his show...he whined, moaned, screamed, and denigrated Trump by saying that he isn’t “conservative enough”.

But, what I think did Beck in, is the fact that he is like MOST of the GOPe: they are great at pointing at the mistakes of Democrats, but don’t know how to actually lead and unfortunately, most Republicans (especially the moderates...which seems to be MOST Republicans) don’t know how to be in charge!! With Trump, I think Beck (and the GOPe) became the dog chasing cars...he didn’t know what to do with the car, once he caught it.

That’s what made Reagan an outstanding President! He didn’t do what the MEDIA and the swamp wanted and expected him to do; he did what he felt needed to be done! Trump is no Reagan, but his leadership is demonstrated in this same manner.

To me Beck and Hannity are one in the same: they are great agitators when Democrats are in charge, but they are TERRIBLE leaders once Republicans are in charge. That’s my two-cents, for what it’s worth.

Yup, #NeverTRUMP did The Blaze in

His readership dropped a ton from where they had been

Beck should've self corrected immediately but he was too arrogant to
