Many Republican entertainers are clearly smitten with former reality TV star Donald Trump, but for conservative commentator Glenn beck, this makes no sense.
Trump, a longtime crony capitalist, supports many liberal positions, including increased gun control and single-payer healthcare. ...
"I get it if you are tired of politicians, A Republican progressive, or you are only about winning," Beck wrote in a message posted at Facebook [link at URL]. "Perhaps you are angry and you just want to make someone pay or just want something done and you don't carte how it gets done, but what PRINCIPLES does he have that they are attracted to?"
"I really want to understand," he added.
Beck listed off a handful of reasons why conservatives should cringe at the thought of Trump's candidacy.
"[Trump] said he identifies his 'policies more as a Democrat'; he makes Obama look truly humble' he was very pro abortion until very recently;; he still says 'don't defund Planned Parenthood'; he is pro 'assault weapons ban'; he is in favor of a wealth tax that would just 'take money out of people's bank accounts'; he is for boots on the ground in Iraq and 'taking the oil' from the Iraqi people; he is a progressive 'Republican'; he says single payer health care works; he said he would give people more than just Obama care," Beck wrote.
"[T]he first Lady would be the first to have posed nude in lesbian porno shots; he said that he keeps all the bibles he is given in a 'special place' outside the city - and he only goes to church on Christmas and Easter; he is generally not a likable guy; he has around 16% favorability with Hispanics and he has gone bankrupt 4 times," he added. ...

I am just sick & tired of everything in Washington and the media and want something COMPLETELY different to shake-up the establishment in Washington.
He may not have positions the exact same as mine, but then, no-one does.
I've been taken for granted too long!
I don’t like belligerent, loudmouth cowards and Trump’s comments about Geller and Garland, Texas prove him to be just that. Character does count and Donald Trump’s is sorely deficient.
No he doesn't. He supported the existing "assault weapon ban" 16 years ago. So did the Bush administration. He doesn't support any new gun control.

Ad Hominem attacks against Glenn Beck and thereby trying to deflect ALL attention away from Trump in 3...2...1...
“Trump was very pro abortion until very recently.”
Um, fifteen years ago is very recently?
Beck is the modern day equivalency of a snake oil salesman. A man who is a high school graduate yet thinks he’s one of the Right’s deep thinkers.
He needs to stick to selling some doomsday insurance and bomb shelters.
Go, Trump, GO!! Diss the girly boys and make them cry.
Hey Beck why dont you invite Trump on your show and ask him some tough questions? He seems to accept almost every invitation. C’mon its a no brainer for a ‘smart guy’ with a radio/TV show. Put up or shut up about DT then.
Check this out.
Beck has been pretty much constantly befuddled on all topics for the past four or five years now.
Glenn Beck said he really wants to understand. Then he listed all of the stuff he doesn’t like about Trump. That tells me he’ll never understand.
This month he’s pretending to be MLK. Last year it was Walt Disney. Guess he’ll be Mother Teresa next.
Sexton is not his sidekick. Pat and Stu are his sidekicks.
Sexton has a separate show.
I think Ann Coulter has diagnosed it right: Trump is the ONLY candidate talking against immigration, and the American People are SICK OF IMMIGRATION. They are so sick of immigration they do not care that Trump donated to Hillary! or Pelosi, that he has been pro-abortion, that he is a crony capitalist, that he has been pro-immigration in the past, etc.
All the RINO, GOPe commentators professing to be baffled about Trump’s place in the polls are people who have sold their souls to be acceptable to the ruling elite. They CANNOT speak of the real reason for Trump. They will babble on endlessly, and say ANYTHING, no matter how preposterous or irrelevant, before they will utter the word “immigration.”
Cruz had better come out soon for SEALING the borders, and AGAINST “legal” immigration.
I had another thought to add to yours. We’ve endured decades of political correctness. Trump is imperfect and doesn’t hide it. Trump gives us permission to be politically incorrect and imperfect and proud of it.
Yes, the border needs to be secured, but you appear to be a single issue voter.
I know what Limbaugh has said in the past about those single issue voters...
Campaigns based on personality never end well but some people just have to learn the hard way over and over and over again meaning they never learn.
The future does not belong to those who slander the prophet Pamela.
He lost me ages ago with Bundy vs BLM.
So I guess there is no such thing as a RINO or a CINO? Please...
I heard the opposite at FR of what you are saying here when Romney was running.
And please ease up with the Ad Homs against Beck.
If that you were true you wouldn’t have posted a reply on this thread.
So you put the lie to your own post. LOL. :)
