Beck said he had never endorsed a presidential candidate in his 40 years of broadcasting, but he made an exception because of the urgency of the moment.
He said he even prefers Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" running in the Democratic presidential primary, to Trump.
"Honesty, faith and truth are basic requirements. And quite honestly, I have to tell you, this probably isn't going to go over very well, that's why I like Bernie Sanders," he said. "Bernie Sanders is like, 'Yep, I'm a socialist.'
"I can actually sit at a table with a man who says, 'Yes, I'm a socialist, and yes, I don't like what we are doing, we should be more like Denmark,' " he added.

Hereâs an intriguing question: Who would Cruz choose as his vice president? And who, specifically, would he nominate to the SCOTUS (keeping John Roberts in mind). We were pondering this over breakfast.

You know, I’m not sure who Cruz would choose as a VP. Probably wouldn’t be Trump. ;-)
As far as who Cruz would nominate for SCOTUS, I have no idea. He may know some legal wonks that he’s worked with as an attorney that he might put forth. I’d like to believe he would try and nominate a strict constructionist. Sadly, you cannot predict how Justices will change with time. Reagan appointed O’Connor and Kennedy...yikes!
Bash Beck all you want. Trash Cruz and Cruz supporters. You are doing nothing but alienating people that you may need when it comes down to the general election. And for goodness sake, stop acting like the Obamabots and nitpicking statements and quotes just to make your case. At least be honest.
Now flame away my friends........
FRiend, this is a two way street here.
Beck saying at a Cruz rally he prefers more invasion to Trump is not inflammatory to Trump supporters? Hardly. It is very much alienating to Trump supporters. Yet you seem ok with it. Interesting. What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander, IMO.
Cruz really needs to move on from Beck. He’s going to hurt him nationally as time moves on.
No question not Trump. He wouldn’t accept anyway.
We don’t know Cruz as well as we think we do. Or as much as some of his supporters would like for us to THINK we do.
Painfully true about past appointees. David Souter, too.
I just cannot believe Ted Cruz would cozy up to Beck. Not gonna do Cruz a lot of good.
“more invasion” - WTF are you talking about? Because he thinks Sanders is honest but Trump is not? But not to worry - Donald said that he is going to make great deals and work with the establishment. THAT is what is offensive to me.
Cruz supporters have done all they could to alienate those who might not support him in primaries. But it seems many Trump supporters have the maturity to overlook that and support Cruz if he is the nominee. Most on FR love our country too much to take a chance on a traitor like Hillary or a commie like Sanders.
I think Beck is over consumed with his hate against Trump. He has TDS. He sounds, with those conments, like a establishment politician in the GOP pledging to vote third-party, vote Hillary, or leave the party if Trump is the nominee.
How could Beck have forced Cruz to take the oath of office. He could have simply declined or made a joke. A Dukakis moment sadly.
once again - Beck did NOT SAY he would vote for Bernie. And puhleaze - ‘Trump supporters have maturity” to not alienate Cruz supporters. Methinks you project a bit much.

Yeah, I guess I was just so embarrassed for Cruz, I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Oh brother, I remember all to well Dukakis looking like Beetle Baily! :-D
He is playing a game, trying to win a prize.
If he wins the prize he will go back to doing what he usually does - watching cable TV and golfing with his friends, just like the president we have now.
Run and done — wow, what a train wreck.
Beck Pleads Cruz Rally To Accept Even ‘Marxist Atheists’ Because ‘They Renew Us’

Sir I said nothing about Beck and Sanders. I said Cruz supporters are often rude and alienating as are a few Trump supporters but not like Cruz folks. Reading before posting will help to stay on topic.
Cruz has destroyed himself....picking the madman, Glenn Beck to endorse him, was the dumbest move Ted Cruz could make!!! If there is one voter in Iowa that intends to caucus for Ted Cruz...you need to get on meds right away!!! This Glenn Beck led Ted Cruz rally was just like the “Jim Jones” rally where he handed out poisoned Kool-Aid to his church followers. The “Beck” performance was frightening!!! Cruz is finished!!!
“Cruz is not crazy like Beck.”
