An Actuarial Look At The Closing Pace of GOP Presidential Politics - Glenn Beck Endorses Ted Cruz, and Prefers Bernie Sanders?

by sundance

Most of you knew this was going to be a wild ride. Heck, many knew back in June 2015 when candidate Donald Trump entered the race this was going to be unlike anything we’d ever seen. Boy howdy, was that ever an understatement

Going all the way back to the spring of 2014 those who didn’t fall into the emotional chasm, which surrounds candidate advocacy, saw the makings of a really strange situation possible. Today many of those possibilities are now front and center.

In Iowa…. candidate Ted Cruz takes to the stage next to Glenn Beck to accept a quickly structured endorsement to stem the electoral collapse. If pictures are worth a thousand words, the look on Senator Cruz’s face is, well, priceless:

And really, who can blame him….. poor Ted eh’?

After all, the endorsement comes from a man who uses a radio and media platform to continually decry “identity politics” yet uses the event to proclaim his anointed candidate based on what else, ethnic identity:

glenn beck sketchy 1“The first Hispanic president”?

You just can’t make this stuff up.

And following Mr. Beck’s recent ‘gang-of-22-conservatives’ proclamation as published in the National Review, Beck goes on to say “if not Ted – then he supports Bernie Sanders”, an avowed communist.

Wait, wha… huh?

Yes, this is what happens when a compass-spinning candidate attaches his wagon to the squirrly Cheshire Cat, Glenn Beck, who relishes life inside a swirling Political rabbit hole.

By golly Ted Cruz is the reincarnation of George Washington that Glenn Beck has prayed for, swear!…. and if that doesn’t work for you, why there’s always Karl Marx’s second-coming, Bernie, as a contingency vote.

Beck just blew his credability.

If not Cruz, then Sanders - because he would rather the USA be Socialist, than have Trump? And if not Sanders, then who?

I really like what Ann Coulter said on the matter.

Who is next to jump on the Cruz bandwagon? Is Alfred E. Newman too sane?

So Trump isn’t a Conservative, but Sander is better than Trump

You can’t rationalize CRAZY, which Glenn Beck clearly is.

How many years has Beck been off his meds?

I’m a Trump supporter, but I don’t blame Cruz here. There’s the rational Beck, and then there’s the irrational Beck. Cruz took a chance here, and, IMHO, lost.

Trump/Cruz
Trump/West

Either works for me.

Looks like Cruz might be Beck’s second choice? Did ole Bern turn Beck down?

Trump/Cruz was my dream ticket. However, I can possibly handle Trump/A. West. West is well spoken, but I need to see more of him. Haven’t seen much of him since he got robbed of his seat.

How do we know that’s not yet another fake tweet from Beck?

Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse is the person(s) that Mark Levin was fuming about for having exposed his connection to the Cruz campaign.

Conservative pundits keep assuring clueless viewers that Trump is not a "real Republican." They seem not to grasp that most viewers are saying, That's fantastic! Thanks for reminding me! - Ann Coulter

Good point, Beck is nothing if not devious and self-consumed.

Mark has no one but himself to blame. Dissing sundance diminishes Mark IMO.
