As a once strong enthusiastic supporter of both he and Levin, only reason I have XM radio in my car, neither are any longer interesting or entertaining to listen to. They are dogmatic in their support of Cruz.
This is more about the disappointment one feels when they no longer can stand to be around what they considered to be very good friends. On top of that they have absolutely no trouble ridiculing those who do support Trump.
So not only are we upset that we lost good friends, we are upset that they chose to blatantly disrespect us, and for what. Ted Cruz becoming our President? Like I said, I was a very commited Cruz supporter in the beginning. However, the more I listened to him the more I started to realize that he is a phony. The kind that panders to an audience saying what he knows they want to hear, but the honest conviction is just not there.
So I started listening to what Trump had to say, because even though I still thought he was a joke candidate and not really serious, his messages were resonating with both my wife and myself. Then I started to notice something else, he was a fighter, and he always won the argument when all was said and done. I never watched his TV show, and I never had really paid much attention to him at all. I knew he was rich, and I knew he was one who always talked himself up. His love life was also known, but not really a concern of mine, because I have not always been perfect either.
Then I started listening to his history of talking up America, which has been one of his most ardent consistencies. Then I started reading about the acts of kindness he would bestow upon people who were in need and deserving, and without fanfare to make sure people saw his generosity. I started learning that he treats everyone pretty much the same, and that he is not above communicating with those who are lower on the economic scale.
So it wasn't just an overnight transition, nor was it one that was done without investigation or thought.
Then came the attacks from Cruz supporters who constantly belittled people who were against Cruz, calling them vile and pernicious names. In addition they would state Trump supporters were low information voters and were not really conservatives at all.
That was when I personally said enough is enough. Took off the gloves and began attacking back. Usually with logic, or at least my best attempts at such, unless the person started getting personal with me. Then I would lower the boom and let them have it with both barrels.
So there you have it as to why Beck bashing now occurs, he started it, but we will finish it. He will rue the day he started this and he will come out the big loser, GUANANTEED, along with his perceived savior Ted. The same holds true for Mark Levin as well.
Ted's instance upon continuing to be nothing more than an obstructionist, in the extremely remote chance that he can win in a contested convention, shows me even more that he cares nothing about this country or the people that inhabit it. Instead it is all about Ted and his lust to obtain power. He is no better than Hillary and in more ways than I ever thought possible at the beginning of this election cycle. They are both phonies, and Trump will destroy both of these phonies.
You are completely wrong about Trump. Trump is a totalitarian. Trump is a man that can’t tolerate the most benign criticism without trying to utterly destroy the critic. Give him the power of the Presidency and he will use the power of the Presidency to destroy any criticism of his administration. I think he will be worse than Hillary only because he has the blind support of so many that are willing to forgo the rule of law in favor of revenge.
Just my opinion and I realize that you aren’t going to agree or change yours. However, the vitriol towards Beck, Rush and Levin is juvenile if not contemptible. Michael Savage is an enthusiastic supporter of Trump yet you don’t see threads from Cruz supporters with 100 plus posts bashing Savage. As a Cruz supporter I don’t agree with Savage a lot of times, however I listen to his show and support him because he is a patriot and a power for good in the conservative cause just like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin.
