Glenn Beck may have hitched his wagon to the wrong train, specifically a Texas Senator who broke down on the corn fields of Wisconsin.
With Ted Cruz’s poll numbers slipping to third place, Glenn has a lot of egg on his face. After claiming Justice Scalia was killed by God to show the US people how important Cruz was, and comparing Trump supporters to Nazis, Beck’s program audience shrunk to a paltry size: essentially those who like Ted Cruz.
Now that Ted is going under in the polls, with a recent FOX poll showing him tied for 3rd, Beck’s empire is collapsing like a house of cards. Beck’s “Flagship” and income source, “THE BLAZE” website is dropping readership rapidly.
Malware concerns:
It turns out Glenn Beck has been spreading around something vile other than his horrible opinions. No, it’s not herpes (probably). Security firm Invinceareports that on July 1, Beck’s site The Blaze unintentionally transmitted malware through embedded advertising to many of his subscribers.
Invincea says that on July 1 and possibly on other dates, one of The Blaze’sadvertisers deliberately redirected users to a “Polish recipe website” that provided a lot more than pierogi ingredients. Unwary readers were affected with a drive-by exploit called Kazy or Kryptik, trojans that open holes in security software to give hackers access to unsuspecting users’ personal information.
Top execs leave the Blaze, Beck stuck with boring yes men:
Kerry was also responsible for leading vendor negotiations, regarding media related services. He even interfaced with CNN Headline News & Fox News teams in collaboration of The Glenn Beck TV show.
Now, Joseph Kerry is no longer associated with TheBlaze, and is instead a partner with Littlecloud Ventures, which is a marketing consulting firm.
Earlier, Chris Balfe, who was Beck’s CEO, and Joel Cheatwood, who was president and chief content officer, also left TheBlaze. Both were responsible for assisting Beck with launching TheBlaze TV.
According CNN, the two men are building a digital media company, in which they will serve are partners.
Now the ratings are dropping like a stone.
Indeed
Never met a nicer bunch than Never Trumpees have you?
Beck was just enriching himself. Con artist.
Ironic your post considering the GOP establishment would rather lose to Hillary than win with Trump
THE FACT SO MANY HERE THINK GLENN BECK KNOWS HIS HISTORY MEANS THE HUFF PO SORTS ARE RIGHT
THIS FORUM IS FULL OF DUMBASSES....TOO DAMN MANY
GEEZ....BECKS HISTORICAL BLOVIATING IS THE KOOK KOOLAID PEOPLE
WAKE UP
I used to like Dana myself for four years until she joined The Blaze. Not the same since. She is following orders to attack Trump when she used to like him before joining The Blaze. Now I read KFTK dumped her show a week ago,
Glenn was good once. But now he is wrapped up in trashing Trump and covering up for Cruz. He changed from the guy who had the red phone on his desk and was calling out Obama. The guy said the either Katie Couric or to CNN that he was sorry for being divisive at Fox News. I sensed he was now regretting his entire career.He slowly became too off the wall. He hitched his wagon to Cruz when he needed to have been more neutral. I miss the old guy I used to watch at Fox. He changed. He used to inform and teach conservative principles. Now he preaches division and attacks anyone who likes Trump.
“He has really gone off deep end.”
He proved that by supporting Cruz.....lion Teddy. lolololol
What an odd fantasy you have.
Next time you might want to add the disclaimer; in my opinion
Attack attack attack, that’s all I ever see from you and your posts
ROFL...
you just cannot help pushing that “stabby” button now can you?
I honestly think Glenn Beck is mentally ill.
> There is a strong nihilistic edge to the Trumpist crowd. Some are actually more committed to demolishing the Republican party than to Trump winning. in fact, they want Trump to fail — so they can vote Democrat and see the GOP destroyed.
That’s rich coming from a Lyin’ Ted supporter who can’t stop Lyin’.
There's so much foolishness in the above projection that it's almost not worth responding to.
The GOP, as it exists right now in its entrenched, corrupt, Unipaty incarnation, indeed does need to be destroyed, because nothing will change for the better in Washington DC until the status quo of the Uniparty is shaken to its core.
What will truly destroy the GOP is if Donald Trump is robbed of the nomination by the GOPe. The GOPe has suicidally been trying to sabotage their own frontrunner for months at this point, and Ted Cruz has jumped in bed with them. He has become part of the problem, not part of the solution, and the more that GOP voters have realized this, the more Ted Cruz's popularity has waned.
Cruz's naked opportunism, in relying on the GOPe to help destroy Donald Trump, flies in the face of all of his supposed anti-Establishment leanings.
Ted Cruz chose the wrong year to "play it safe". He should have battled Donald Trump fairly, in Revolutionary territory, to be the anti-Establishment standard bearer, but instead he has joined the Establishment to curry favor with them and get the benefit of the delegate thefts which had originally been slated for the likes of an insider Jeb Bush.
But after Jeb Bush was squashed like an insect by Donald Trump, the GOPe had to find someone else to sabotage the nomination. And that's exactly what the effort has been for months now: sabotage. So they settled on Ted Cruz (whom they despise) as the new designated insider, since they had no other options. That is why Ted Cruz has no chance of getting the GOP nomination.
After winning Wisconsin, Ted Cruz has paradoxically tanked in both national and state polls. Why? Because he appears to be no different than the GOPe. Indeed, he has been the beneficiary of their crooked schemes, such as the overt theft of the 34 Colorado delegates. If the CO incident is not the cause of Cruz's slide in the polls, then what is, pray tell?
Ted Cruz, having lost almost the entire South, and about to lose almost the entire Northeast, is simply not a viable national candidate. He is behind Donald Trump by about 2 million votes in the popular vote count.
Any political analyst who is intellectually honest knows that bypassing Donald Trump for the GOP nomination would be absolutely suicidal for the GOP, and spell the splintering and ultimate destruction of the party.
So it appears to me that the nihilism you decry is actually coming from the GOPe itself. They have overplayed their hand extremely, adn it will be their undoing.
If the GOPe thinks they can somehow "thread the needle" and avoid splintering the party by stealing the nomination from Donald Trump, they are headed for a rude awakening.
As for Ted Cruz, who is now a distant third, trailing even John Kasich in many Northeastern states, any delusions of grandeur he might have of getting the nomination are exactly that: pure fantasy.
All of this will become apparent over the coming weeks, even to the most obtuse and naive Cruz fanboys.
Vote Trump
Beck’s gone over the edge...
Ironic that the only one who has gone bankrupt four times is Trump.
You keep ignoring it. We hope some day you will wake up a smell what Trump is shoveling.
Post 52.
Exactly what do you think Trump will REALLY do as President, as opposed to his campaign platform. And how is that so much more foolish than trusting someone wired into the Republican establishment with thirty years of only being "conservative" during the campaign?
The shovel is in the hands of the GOPe. St. Ted is helping them.
Anybody paying attention even a little could see this coming a mile away....
He has been off the rails for a couple of years now, way before he started to support Cruz, or maybe more accurately go off the deep end anti Trump...
I haven’t listened to him for years and in the Tampa market he has the second best time slot in the morning on the largest station...
I’d rather listen to the wind blow though my windows than hear the nonsense he puts out...
How can you not feel ashamed by trying to use such comments to sway people who don't know enough to understand how duplicitous it is?
Don't you have kids or grandkids?
