According to Glenn Beck, the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump signals the demise of America.
Beck, discussing yesterdays 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. Its just a shame.

Reagan was not from New York or New Jersey. Trump fits in there. I was from NJ, and recognize the style.
Indeed they are. Just today I had what I thought was a long time friend choose Trump over me. Kind of surprised me, really. I guess we were more allies but we had always been friendly. That is no more, not when it comes to Trump. I am to be scorned. I must admit I don't see the attraction. I just can't see Donald Trump as presidential. I know all men can't be Ronald Reagan but I expect a bit more than the likes of Trump. Actually, a lot more. And no, that doesn't mean I want Hillary. :-P
I don’t think he can or would outspend the Koch brothers. What I heard him say is he has enough money HE can’t be bought, which is probably true.
I think if he thought he actually had a real chance to getting elected he’d spend all he had to to make it happen. But he’ll probably just spend enough to hurt Republicans and help Hillary.
For those who care, here is the initial FR reaction to the Trump announcement. Close to 500 comments already. There is a link to the complete speech at Comment #404.

Trump may find derogatory words on many lips. Usually these are people who are sore losers, crying like girly boys. Trump is what America needs to get back in the winner’s circle. We are quickly heading towards an economic basket-case ran by economic lightweights.
Whatever....Jimmy Swaggart wannabe....
I can’t believe what I’m reading from the posters here on Free republic. That we’re even considering “The Donald” as president.
He’s an entertainer. Not presidential material. How far we have fallen.
“Glenn Beck unloads on Donald Trump: The biggest flaming [ass] that you could possibly imagine”
Look in the mirror Glenn!
“I cant believe what Im reading from the posters here on Free republic. That were even considering The Donald as president.
Hes an entertainer. Not presidential material. How far we have fallen.”
It’s hard to believe we can fall any farther after the last 8 years.
“...his buddies and their stupid insipid yuck-fest which comprises their radio show have left me completely unimpressed . Give me Rush or Levin any day.”
If you want to listen to Beck, the first 15 minutes is all that is necessary. He comes up with some good ideas occasionally. After that, they are just having a party.
That’s hard to believe, since he carries a gun. He was full bore for having guns last night.
“who would want the Obama-loving lefty Oprah as his VP”
That was meant to be a joke.
“Trump behaves in an extremely braggadocious manner that is very off putting”

“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 hes wrong?”
That has been the sentiment of campaigners since our founding. Davy Crockett lost an election because his opponent bought votes.
There are homosexuals,communists, and Muslim terrorists out to destroy the USA, they are using American blacks and Illegal alien criminals as their shock troops.
Now is no time to be “humble”
Now is the time to tell the Mexicans,queers,commies,and their allies in DC to go help.
The party is over
AMERICA FIRST!
So many clowns,with Jeb the first one out of the clown car.
Depressing state of affairs, Trump if nothing else will light a fire and perhaps induce one of the others to grow a pair.
Donald Trumps announcement yesterday he went on about being a Second Amendment supporter. I doubt you will accept what he said but this is what he mentioned
