Trump calls out Beck for not being a Republican
The Washington Examiner ^ | 1/23/2016 | CURT MILLS

Posted on 01/23/2016 7:53:46 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Donald Trump argued that radio host Glenn Beck -- who has endorsed Ted Cruz -- can't vote for Cruz in his state's primary Saturday because he is no longer a registered Republican. For Trump, this provides proof that Beck is "dumb as rock."

"Word is that crying @GlennBeck left the GOP and doesn't have the right to vote in the Republican primary. Dumb as a rock," Trump tweeted Saturday.

If true, this would serve as rich irony for many observers. Trump has been hit for his fleeting party affiliation history, but is, by all accounts, currently a registered Republican in his home state of New York.

The deeply conservative Beck, however, actually left the Republican Party in March 2015, citing frustration that the establishment was blocking the efforts of lawmakers like Cruz. It is unclear whether Beck ever formally registered as an independent, or other party, thus deregistering as a Republican. Beck principally resides in the suburbs of Fort Worth, Texas, and is presumably registered to vote there. Texas Republicans hold a "closed primary" where only registered Republicans can vote. If Beck is no longer one, Trump is correct in that though Beck may endorse Cruz, he cannot actually vote for him himself for the primary.

"I've made my decision -- I'm out. I'm out of the Republican Party," Beck said in March 2015. "I am not a Republican."

Right-—and irrelevant. The real irony here is that Beck was in the National Review hate Trump edition that purports to tell REPUBLICANS what is “good for them” and since he ain’t one . . . We have lots of Dems and libs telling us how Trump would “hurt” the GOP. Their criticism alone is a reason to support Trump.

My understanding is that Beck fought the execution of Terri Schiavo: what am I missing?

I think too many years of alchohol and cocaine use has led to mental and physical problems in later years with Beck. He needs help or I will not be surprised if they find him hanging in his closet some day.

It’s very sad to watch. I used to watch him on FOX but something terribly has happened to him.

Yes he did when he became conservative. I met him in the courthouse in Clearwater when this was all going on with Judge Greer . Before that, in his early programs he made fun of her and made jokes about her and Steven Hawkins . I can’t remember what he said was the trigger that made him change.
