Radio host Glenn Beck is urging GOP presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to team up to oppose Donald Trump.
Beck called for a ticket of “Ted Cruz for president, Marco Rubio as vice president,” on his radio show Wednesday, according to The Blaze. Beck has already endorsed Cruz for president.
“They should announce this and run with this. This should go all over the Internet. I think this is doable, and this is absolutely unstoppable.”
Beck said the candidates would have to commit to joining forces before Florida's primary May 15 to have a chance to stop Trump.
“Florida, they would win,” he said. "But if they don’t do it before the Florida election, then we lose it to Donald Trump. And all those delegates go to Trump.”
The radio host laid out a plan for other prominent GOP figures to align themselves with a Cruz-Rubio team.
“Say our Supreme Court nominee is Mike Lee,” Beck said, suggesting the Utah senator as a replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
“Rand Paul is going to be Treasury secretary. Ben Carson, we’re going to back you with everything we have to take Rubio’s Senate seat. How is that not a win for absolutely everybody?”

The GOPe would love to take down Cruz.
Please Ted Cruz- Do not tie yourself to Rubio!
If the GOPe pushes Rubio over Cruz- THEY ARE FINISHED. And it will be their own fault.
The GOPe has been a force of destruction. They are the ones who ignore the American people to push the democrat agenda.
Donald Trump IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. But, he's not establishment either.
The problem is that he is an unknown-left leaning, as far as issues- promised to make deals with the left, and potentially self destructive candidate. ( I don't know why, with the latest problem, has Trump messed up on the KKK question. He is surely not approving of the KKK- but, it should be pointed out that a mistake like that in October, could give the country to Hillary.)
I don't think Trump is the best way to restore all the damage, but is he worse than the establishment? If nothing else they can't control him.
But I still say Ted Cruz is the main target- Neither of them- Trump, GOPe wants to emphasize anything about our Constitution, individual rights, or anything Judeo-Christian.
Cruz should run his own race as THE ONLY CONSERVATIVE- And stay far away from the GOPe.
restore = repair
Not a Rubio fan, but Cruz winning the nomination over Trump is vital. Rubio does have his supporters and really, the VP does not set the agenda.
Beck may have gone nuts, but any strategy to get Cruz the victory in November is worth considering.
As much as I dislike Rubio, a Trump Presidency would be a disaterfor conservatives.
Nice of Glenn to figure this all out for us...Geez
THe man has no compass—moral or otherwise.
Great! We just need one more Cuban-origin person to take charge of SSOTUS.
