Glenn Beck predicted Friday that he believes conservative voters will look to Republican presidential candidate Texas Sen. Ted Cruz “when it comes down to it,†because he has the “gravitas†to win the election.
“I think it’s going to be Cruz when it comes down to it,†he said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program. “When you go in and you have to vote and you’re looking at today’s world, who do you think has the gravitas to really pull this off?â€
Beck went on to say he believes Cruz is “serious enough†to be president of the United States during what he describes as an “Abraham Lincoln-style time.â€(continued)

He’s a leaker, it’s true.
They keep a roll of paper towels near him.
Always.
He’s right on this.
Well THAT isn’t going to help Ted any !
Er....uh....thanks, Glenn.
So let me be the first to aggravate the Cruz supporters here. Actually, ‘gravitas’ is the last thing I think of when I think of Cruz. He plays incredibly poorly to the masses and would be a turnoff for many general election voters. Ted has a tendency to come across as the typical Ivy League lawyer who has the answer to everything and speaks with a courtroom demeanor which comes across as a mix of theatrics and insincerity.
Gravitas though is a meaningless word used by the elites to denigrate Bush during the 2000 election. I prefer leadership. When you look at all the candidates on either side of the ledger, the only one that projects leadership is Trump and it’s not close. Ted can debate an issue to death and probably win the argument, but he’d get few followers. Trump, for being a billionaire, talks like a regular guy and that will attract voters in droves during a general election. Ask yourself who the average guy will support more times than not and it will be Trump. Ted doesn’t have that ability. He might be the best pure conservative on the issues (and that’s a debateable point), but it’s meaningless if you can’t bring them to the polls.
Clarabelle chimes in again.
As much as you all HATE Glen Beck remember, he has a huge following. He has influence with millions of people. You cannot dismiss that fact.
Cruz get the bi-polar endorsement. LOL
Go Cruz!
I guess you really haven’t watched any of his many videos. He is honest, truthful, and can be very funny.
We do not need a warm and make-you-feel-good president. We need a leader.
Blind (drunk) pig finds apple.
Glen who?
He also said Christie would win NH and win the nomination. Beck is out of it.
Beck said on Wenesday Christie would win.
Run away, Ted, run away.
As much as you all HATE Glen Beck remember, he has a huge following. He has influence with millions of people. You cannot dismiss that fact.
Who?
Ted is definitely (and obviously) struggling to attract the masses.
Aside from that, I don’t give credence to anything Beck has to say.
Lost me at gravitas.
Actually he lost me years ago when he went insane.
Great post and oh, so true.
