Senator Ted Cruz Has an Unstable Glenn Beck Problem – The Beck, Barton and Mercer Connections…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | Jan 21 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 01/24/2016 5:12:14 PM PST by euram

Mr. Glenn Beck will continue to circle the drain of irrelevance, make very consequential enemies, and promote an air of intense polarization for his candidate Senator Ted Cruz.

Which is odd. You would think he would have vetted Beck’s speech ahead of time not just turned him loose. Doesn’t anyone follow basic political protocol anymore? I get Cruz was desperate to ‘trump’ the Palin endorsement but this was badly done.

Did you or did you not see the rally in Waterloo?

That rally was just sad. Nearly an hour of that maniac, then poor Cruz finally comes out, then the freak jumps back on stage. Ted looked shell shocked the rest of the night.

That was a long, drawn out Howard Dean moment.

Cruz is toast. He won't recover from that.

If I were him, I'd get on the phone to Trump and see if that Supreme Court appointment is still in the cards.

Rush has been walking the fence, I am sad to say.

Rush has never endorsed anyone in the primaries. This so called “fence walking” is appropriate.

“If I were him, I’d get on the phone to Trump...”


He better do it soon. If Iowa goes the way it appears to, Trump won’t even take his calls. He’s not big on associating with losers.

Ted has had a momentary lapse of judgment with Beck.He needs to correct the mistake and quickly.

Read the article and you will see that Cruz cannot cut Beck loose because his money bag donors are partners with Beck.

However, the event itself is being organized by a pro-Cruz group 'Keep the Promise 1' (KtP1), a Super-pac originally funded by billionaire hedge-funder Robert Mercer., KtP is also directly attached to David Barton.

David Barton is Co-Chair for Glenn Beck"s Mercury One charity, and the assembly of interests provides an opportunity to explain how all of these entities connect.

Billionaire Robert Mercer originally funded KtP to promote candidate Ted Cruz.

According to recent reports, the extraordinarily wealthy influence agent, Robert Mercer, currently owes the IRS somewhere between $6 billion and $10 billion dollars. From a position of motive inquiry, if he can help purchase a White House victory for either candidate (Cruz or Fiorina), obviously the scales could be tipped in his favor.

Barton now appears to run "KtP1" in addition to being Co-Chair for Beck's Mercury One charity.

Even more intrigue and shysterism continues at the link.

Cruz is a fine man, but Beck has gone fruitloops.

Hope he's not drinking again.

I was wondering about that...

He seems so far off the rails lately that I'm wondering if it's time to stop poking fun at him and to begin sending up a few prayers for him? :-/

Just a thought... I have done my share of ridiculing the guy, perhaps it's time to forego that and ask for some divine help...

There but for the grace of God.....

This is not accurate.

Glenn has been a Mormon for a very long time: I believe since about 2001 or so.

San Antonio was one of his first affiliates back when he hosted out of Tampa. It’s sad he turned to LDS, but his leaving Fox was not the cause of that.

Cruz is a fine man

Deserves repeating.

I'm all in for Trump, not because he is the better man but because he can actually win the presidency and it's a must win situation this time out.

I'm praying for a Trump/Cruz ticket... I know it seems unlikely after the recent animosity betwixt the two good men but I keep reminding myself how much Americans love a good reconciliation.

After Trump starts running the table it will be time for kiss-and-make-up ... and then a Trump/Cruz barnstorm across the USA!

I'd love to see them on stage together giving the democrats hell...and I'd love to see the Freepers from both camps come back together again...I'm SICK of the bickering here :-(

This guy Barton was trying to say Jefferson did not father Sally Hemming"s children?!

I say Barton is a fool because I am certain it happened in my family. Years ago there was a black Federal Judge on the short list for the Supreme Court with the same last name as mine. When I saw a picture, I was shocked that he looked like he could have been my father's black brother. My father had a very distinctive look, so much so that it could not have been anything but shared DNA. In case you may wonder, yes, my relatives held slaves as documented in census records and wills.

Beck wants atheist communist immigrants who might come to Jesus to flood our immigration system. Maybe Chief justice Cruz can hear that case. That aside I thought you folks didn’t put anyone on the witness stand without knowing first what he’s going to say.

“Central American children are Marxist-Atheists?”

Depends on how old they are and how long they’ve been indoctrinated.

but more importantly, they ARE illegal aliens violating U.S. law, AND as uneducated 3rd world peasants, they’ll be wards of we U.S. taxpayers, perhaps for life and into future generations AND VERY likely to be Democrat voters, most likely the type to vote for future Bernie Sanders.

“There is a noticeable absence of dozens of RedState articles today. I thought maybe they were just being zotted, but now we see the ones posting all of those have started their own site to bash this one.”

if this is actually the case, then i’m breathing many sighs of relief. it was a very small number of people posting these hundreds of anti-trump articles every day, and if they are gone, I for one welcome it.

David Barton' s book has been republished with actual pictures of the documents that show what Jefferson wrote. Lame attack on Jefferson, Barton & Beck.

I can provide an MP3 of Barton's rebuttal to Mr. Throckmorton's (or whatever his name is) attacks on Barton, if anyone's interested. The lies about Jefferson's bibles definitely need to be silenced, and Barton has the answers...

No matter what anyone thinks of Beck, I trust Barton explicitly.

Ted Cruz, IIRC, was always an appellate lawyer and not a trial lawyer. Still, that was a terrible lapse in judgment. Trump kinda had the same problem when he unleashed Sarah Palin, but then Sarah Palin was a known quantity. Cruz should have known that Glenn Beck was a loose cannon. This was a self inflicted wound.
