Glenn Beck admitted that he’s been wrong every step of the way about Donald Trump this presidential election cycle.
Beck went on CNN to discuss a possible jump aboard Trump’s candidacy, despite calling him a “pathological narcissistic sociopath.” He told host Alisyn Camerota that “Unlike some politicians I say what I mean and mean what I say.”
“I’m not suddenly in love with Donald Trump or a supporter of Donald Trump,” Beck said, while also saying that he’s not endorsing anyone in the race. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tx was the first politician he had ever endorsed.
“I will tell you this. The secret behind Donald Trump, because I have been wrong about Donald Trump every step of the way,” said Beck. “I just didn’t think that this would work. I just didn’t think people would take him seriously.
“I thought people would have a problem with some of the things that he said,” Beck continued. “But they haven’t. And when you see that the Bernie Sanders people are now saying a quarter of them, in some polls, are saying that they will come over to Donald Trump, it’s not about Marxism, it is not about capitalism, it is not about policy, it is about destroying the system that has been lying to us on both sides for as long as I’ve lived.”
Beck said the democrats and republicans are both out of touch with voters, hence the revolt and deep following of candidates like Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Meanwhile, Beck said Hillary Clinton is running her campaign like it’s 2008.
“Hillary Clinton doesn’t realize that the game has entirely changed,” Beck said. “She is playing the old main line politician that will say whatever they have to say to get elected. Donald Trump, I think also says whatever he has to say to get elected, but in a completely different way. It is not about what he is saying, as much as it is how he is saying it.”

First of all, Trump never alleged that, he merely pointed out that the theory existed and was being reported, and noted that there wasn’t much discussion about it. Second, it hasn’t necessarily been disproven, so how do you know for certain that it’s a lie? I don’t happen to believe the theory, btw, just saying.
Cheetos face is crying over TEDdy bears again, his true brother from another mother.

Interesting that Beck didn’t mention his Canadian bud.
This link to the 6 minute interview does not fit the Headline. Glenn in NO WAY admits he’s been wrong about Trump and continues to bash and mock him for six minutes. I wish we would have headlines that match the content, but I guess there would be no way to get folks to check out the articles (if even they do). It’s rather deceptive, really.
Meh
I wish beck would just shut up
For all my criticism of Beck, he fairly well nailed it here.
I will say one thing in addition, Beck misses it when he dismisses what it's all about. This is also about values that we all desire to see return to the nation.
Trump is more of a "Conservative" package than folks give him credit for.
I do think that last sentence of Beck's pretty much nails why folks are backing Trump though. They see their nation slipping away "BIG-TIME" and they want it stopped right now!
Oh, got a new prescription I see, Glenn. Good for you!
How much encouragement has Beck given to the #NeverTrump people out there? Sometimes I think he was so caught up in his "I'm a prophet!" routine that he forgot to look outside of his little "sphere of influence". I truly believe that Trump knows the evil that is going on in this country and is giving people the courage to be vocal about it too.
Go!TRiUMP
TO THE WHITE HOUSE! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
I agree. It’s really sad to watch it all take place.
People say all sorts of stuff-— “I’m not going to listen to Rush anymore.” But I know that it used to be that if I wasn’t working, I listened to all three hours religiously. Now, I catch the first 20 minute monologue. If it seems he is in one of his St. Ted of Calgary moods, I don’t listen to much more.
Also, when you look at his sponsors, at one time he had Florida Orange Juice (big) and now is doing Mahindra Tractors and some steel fabrication company. Really? These will appeal to Rush listeners?
As for Shapiro, I met him at a dinner given for me by Andrew Breitbart about five years ago to introduce me to the “Friends of Abe.” Adam Baldwin, the “Gosnell” producers, and Shapiro were among those there. He has become an absolutely pathetic figure, Trumptrolling Twitter at every opportunity. Very sad little man.
I got the impression that Beck was merely admitting that he did not think Trump would get this far, not that he was coming round to Trump's way of thinking. Beck is a whack job.
It’s a direct quote from Beck, at 4:05 in the linked interview. Play it. The headline does match the content. The content qualifies the headline quote, and quotes Beck further to clarify.
Nice having you on this thread, Larry!
Glenn Beck = G.B.= Good Bye
Looking like Beck has given up hope of Zuckerberg coming through with a few million bucks.
Since I know Glenn a little, I’m just astounded at how incredibly whacky he has gotten.
