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.”

Is OBAMA and CLINTON Presidential Material?

Was Gerald Ford?

Your comment is nonsensical.

You know what they say about a blind squirrel and a nut.

"Trump claims to be pro-Second Amendment while also wanting to ban guns. The man is a fraud."

Yes.

Then there's his avowed support for universal healthcare...his belief that upper income earners should have their taxes increased...his statement that the economy always does better under Democrats. Etc., etc.

Glenn Beck is still defending the crudely-forged “birth certificate.” The one that has the typefaces of at least six different typewriters on it.

Guess I jeeded the sarcasm tag.

This is tangent to the Donald discussion. FWIW, if you are tired of Glenn or other issues with his show at this time, and are looking for another station consider Jerry Kuhner out of WRKO out of Boston. He will be syndicated soon...

Go here for my post from yesterday: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3301188/posts

OK.

If a pompous ass self important jerk is what you want in a president, then vote for Trump.

[chris37]

I’m pretty sure the general didn’t j*rk himself off in everyone’s face with every other sentence.

[chris37]

I don’t need Donald Trump.

Maybe you do, but I don’t.

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

Yes Dennis, and I am acknowledging that. He said he was “a very strong person on the Second Amendment. He said he believes guns are necessary for self-defense and has written that he generally opposes gun control. That's all swell. But he ALSO said he supports a ban on assault weapons and a slightly longer waiting period to buy a gun.

The "assault weapons" ban is lunacy created by morons like Dianne Feinstein who want to ban guns based on cosmetic appearances. Trump agrees with that. Do you?

[South40]

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.

I couldn't agree more.

[South40]

That’s hard to believe, since he carries a gun. He was full bore for having guns last night.

Read the quote. He's fallen for the Dianne Feinstein anti-"assault weapon" hysteria where they want to ban certain guns based on cosmetic appearances. That really is a moronic position.

[South40]

Then there's his avowed support for universal healthcare...his belief that upper income earners should have their taxes increased...his statement that the economy always does better under Democrats. Etc., etc.

Yet sadly, many here still consider him a conservative and worthy of support.

"Yet sadly, many here still consider him a conservative and worthy of support."

Personally, I regret that some have fallen for his act of turning the presidential race into a circus sideshow. This country's situation is dire. We need to be paying attention to serious candidates.

Neither.

That is just what it has become. But somehow, that is supposed to be a good thing.
