According to Glenn Beck, the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump signals the demise of America.
Beck, discussing yesterday’s presidential announcement, called Trump “the opposite of every great leader,” and slammed him as “the most arrogant man” the right-wing radio host had ever seen.
Beck recalled the story of a Silicon Valley executive who swore off ever voting for a Republican candidate, citing the infamous Todd Akin “legitimate rape” comments, to complain that the media seized on such rare occurrences to unfairly paint the GOP as stupid and argue that a Trump candidacy would only serve as more harmful fodder.
Displaying a flagrant lack of self-awareness, Beck warned that “Donald Trump coming in and doing this to the Republicans is going to make all of us look ridiculous. Anybody who is a conservative, we are going to look absolutely like clowns. It’s just a shame.”

No thanks.
Post 34.
Its possible that a flaming ass can undo the damage done by obama/boehner/mcconnell
Better vote for Jeb than...
Sometimes assholes swerve into the truth
So he’s become more pro gun in the last 15 years. Good. So has the rest of the country.
Trump loves America as much as Beck does. He will shake things up, that’s for sure. I’m not at all certain I want him as president, and I’m also not at all certain that he wants to be. I think he wants to shake up the Republican party, because, let’s be honest - they sure NEED to be shaken and define their issues clearly for the American people. Trump tells it like it is - no holds barred, and I like that. However, I don’t think he seriously wants to give up his private citizen status.
I wasn't aware that my only choices were liberal Donald Trump or liberal Jeb Bush. But thanks for your less than valued advice.
btw...that's got to be one of the most moronic defenses of Trump I have seen. Incredibly dumb. Really.
Not one person has bitch slapped Communist China and Mexico like this.....
well actually one has. Trump. AND HE DID IT IN ONE SENTENCE.
Do we think Cruz from Texas or Rubio from Florida will lift a finger against Illegal Immigration? Heck, when the GOP had the Presidency the House and the Senate, they couldn’t even build a wall.
Says who? I have yet to hear him say he has changed his position on either "assault weapons" or waiting periods. Have you?
I tend to think that Trump is just the comedy relief for this time around the nomination bush.
Ummm...you do realize that neither Cruz or or Rubio were in the senate when the GOP held the presidency, don't you? Apparently not.
Yeah, we need a New Yorker to take control of our southern border. Good one!
“Better vote for Jeb than...”
At least this one didn’t call you a Hillary voter.
It would have been appropriate had he announced his candidacy from the Improv.
No, but I think the same sentiment was there. :-)
What is more than a little troubling is that Trump is blandly certain that he can buy the election, despite his history and character. And who, here, can say he’s wrong?
Truth? What’s truth?
I would say the Trump supporters are a fairly passionate sort. Trump must pay them well. (kidding I hope)
I heard a report about results of comparing likely Republican voters for Trump versus other declared candidates. They listed 3 names (I forget whom) and Rick Perry, and said since he ranked higher than any of them he might get into the “elite” 10 who actually get to debate.
