Glenn Beck on Ted Cruz: 'I'm not sure that he could govern'
The Washington Examiner ^ | May 4, 2015 | Eddie Scarry

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck said on his show Monday that he's "not sure" Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is able to "govern."

Beck made the comment while discussing each of the potential GOP presidential nominees and what he saw as their ability to lead.

"We are looking at unbelievable times ahead of us," Beck said. "And I would say on this, I'm not sure [Cruz] could get the coalition together. He'll be a bulldog and he'll stand for principles but I'm not sure that he could govern. I'm not sure yet."

One of Beck's co-hosts asked how Cruz compared to former president Ronald Reagan.

"Reagan had charm," Beck said. "He had charm."

By contrast, Beck said of former Hewlett-Packard CEO Cary Fiorina, "She could govern."(continued)

Beck would rather see a RINO elected who would do absolutely nothing to reverse Obama’s policies and would instead continue to “manage the decline of America”.

"I have concerns about Cruz being able to lead or govern."

I guess you haven't noticed that he's already a, if not THE, conservative leader. Leadership comes naturally to him.

As for governing, Obama was never a governor, but he's managed to push through most of his agenda and succeed at wrecking the country. And he's not that smart.

Cruz is brilliant. He'll be able to do so much more.

I found this article interesting...especially the subtitle

http://spectator.org/articles/62514/yes-carly-fiorina-was-fired

Yes, Carly Fiorina Was Fired

The real question is why wasn’t Hillary?

What’s with this word “govern” being used by GOPers? Boehner/mcconnel are using that word as they help implement obama’s policies.

Cruz would lead. Govern is for leftists.

Charm ? He thinks the Italian female has more charm than the Cuban American male ? Racist and sexist.

Well, she married into the Italian name. Her birth name is Cara Carleton Sneed,perhaps of the Essex Sneeds, more recently of the Boston Sneeds, perhaps . . .

Very true.
We don’t need someone to take over the helm of this monstrosity.
We need someone that will lead in its dismantling.

Fiorina has no experience with governing and no chance of winning the nomination let alone the general election. She will hinder Cruz and aid Jeb Bush however and Beck knows this.

Well that's insightful.

Have any more vague, lower-brainstem whispers in the dark you want to share, or is that all it said on your talking-points list?

Exactly, anyone who announces now is basically thinking they’re better than Cruz. I’d like to know why they think that way.

What has he led- his Senate staff? Governing is something Cruz has yet to do?

When he named his network GBTV (Glenn Beck TV) I realized Beck is all about Beck. Like Michael Savage, Beck has found Conservatism to be a profitable enterprise, without being particularly committed to any of its principles.

Ultimately, she’s going to end up attacking Cruz and defending Bush because that is what will best advance her across the board. She’s a tool.

Exactly. Carly Fiorina is not of Italian ancestry; her husband is, as you mentioned.

Seems like Carly took a necessary stab at saving the company with purchasing Compaq. I had a Compaq at one time lol. The attempt didn’t work out and the board (many of whom wanted to acquire Compaq) fired her.
How many out there rose from receptionist to head of a company like HP in 20 years?
I say let her keep attacking Hillary like I say again and again in the way only another woman could!!! Then give her some job in the administration.
