Radio host Glenn Beck said Tuesday that Donald Trump acts like the radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.
"He is Saul Alinsky," Beck insisted of the GOP presidential front-runner on his radio broadcast.
"[Trump] will isolate you and polarize you and he will take you out," Beck said. "He will destroy you. "He is spending money with Tea Party groups and churches and news websites to own them," the conservative pundit added.
Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" has inspired controversy over its principles on income inequality, politics and social justice.
Beck argued that the Republican establishment threatens Trump's lead in the polls at its own peril.
"[The GOP] is making themselves a horrible, horrible bed [if they] run campaigns against him," he said of Trump.
Beck said alienating Trump could prompt the businessman to run as a third party presidential candidate next year -- something that could benefit Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.
"What are the odds that he is a spoiler?" Beck asked of Trump. "What are the odds that he got into this because he's friends with the Clintons and he'll get a massive payback?
"Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton gets in because he ran third party?" he continued. "Do you know the favor they're going to owe him?"
Beck additionally suggested that Trump's policy stances "make no sense."
"He doesn't believe the things that he's saying," he said of the New York business mogul, citing his immigration rhetoric.
Trump has repeatedly warned the Republican National Committee he'll consider a third party run if it does not treat him fairly.
Me on Glenn Beck: He’s Howdy Doody on psychotropic drugs.
That may all be true, but he's not the only person to wonder if Trump is really in it for the long haul or if he's not going to be distracted or derailed along the way.
His comments about Trump are superficial and just plain wrong! How can someone like Beck be so far off base?
I was just thinking the same thing. It’s time Beck’s Doctor upped his Lithium.
:D
“I’ve seen numerous people here saying that Trump is secretly supporting Hillary”
That has always mystified me. I guess next they will say he has the hots for her.
IT IS ABOUT TIME!!! Even Beck sees it in him.
Bingo....Cow Bells....We have a winnnaaar
OK, but "who" is "him"? Or is it both of "them"?
BTW: You are not the only poster on this thread who is not properly identifying the target of their remarks.
After watching his Fox show a couple of times, I dropped Beck altogether. He is as manipulative as a Southern Baptist preacher’s sermon on Mother’s Day.
It’s Trump “jujitsu”...he’s using the weight and cunning of the left against them. And they “re squealing!
Fighting fire with fireworks is obviously no in Beck”s handbook of snappy ideas
Sad.
Is Glenn off the wagon?
Glenn Pat and Stu were crying today like 7year old girls. All three of them plus every radio jock for the last 8 years have been ragging on Washington. They created The Donald and now Glenn”Sarah’s Friend” doesn’t like this creature. It’s like Marty Feldman brought the wrong brain. To bad Glenn. Rule #1 anything can happen.
Becks train left the track a long time ago. Never listen to this nut.
That has always mystified me. I guess next they will say he has the hots for her.
Why the mystery? Outspoken, cranky billionaire running for president. Now he's running, now he's not. Sound familiar.
We could toss in Wendell Willkie for good measure. Some would even add Mitt Romney.
Maybe all that's nonsense and Trump is going to go all the way, but after Perot can you really blame people for being suspicious?
Yes, he does not.
Mister Trump, if nothing else is a super salesman.
Trump knows what to say to make you want to like him and believe him.
Trump is a self-aggrandizing, GOP-torpedoing, Hillary pal; and he has every intention of using our good Conservative objectives to waste votes in order to elect Hillary.

Not sure about you, but Beck is definitely an idiot. ;-)
Only other insane people.
Drama Queens? Conspiratorial Nut-Jobs? RINOs?
Beck has a disturbing infatuation with Trump.
Agreed. It'd be interesting to see demshateGod's accomplishments compared to Trump's.
