Glenn Beck doesn’t see Sarah Palin running for president and said she has done some damage to her political brand.

Beck, a constant Palin cheerleader, said flatly on his radio show Monday, “Sarah Palin, I don’t think, wants to run for president.”
The outgoing Fox News personality has hosted Palin on his show several times – once for a full hour – and she has frequently lavished praise on him.
Still, even with all that good will, Beck was frank in assessing what Palin has done to hurt her own political stock – even though he credited her with surviving tough media coverage.
“There are some things about Sarah Palin,” he said, going on to suggest Palin made a mistake by selling her personal story in her first book after leaving the governor’s office, rather than demonstrating some policy credentials.
“She should have come out with that first book, and it should have been deep policy,” he said. “It should have shown that, yes, she knows where Russia is.”
“She didn’t help herself by doing some things to shore herself up,” Beck added.
Still, Beck predicted that Palin “wants to shape the debate,” though he sees her role as outside elective politics.
“I personally think she is on a smart path for the future to be able to hold people together,” Beck said. “It’s ideals that I think she is going for.”

I think beck knows Palin may not run. As for Beck comments against Trump. If Trump is arrogant enough to run third party and trash Real conservatives who are trying to fix the country like Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann in the primaries. Then Trump is not the man I thought he might have been. He is then trying to divide the vote to elected Obama.

Glenn Beck/Tina Fey 2012!
Beck has hurt his influence by becoming a “preacher” instead of a Conservative commentator. He needs to just go on and become a Mormon Bishop.
Beck is one of those guys you really like, or you think you really like, until you realize something wasn’t right all along.
It’s kind of like when you want to believe you’re enjoying your meal in a well-acclaimed, expensive restaurant even though deep down you kind of feel something isn’t right about the way the food tastes.
Sure enough, a few hours later you’re puking your guts out.
