There was a time when people like Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, and Erick Erickson were powerful voices within the Conservative movement. That was BT or “Before Trump,” when most American Conservatives were asleep at the wheel and operating on status quo neo-conservative autopilot, completely unaware that the maverick radio voices we hailed as rebels, were actually globalist shills-for-hire.
The silent majority was silent because we were napping, however, Trump has awakened the slumbering giant and we’re hip to the globalist trick played upon us by so-called radio conservatives, politicians, media, and pundits, who subtly pepper falsehoods like, amnesty is good, trade is fine, debt is just part of life, and nation building is patriotic throughout their schtick.
Yes, the slumber is over and the “alt right” is gleefully humming a tune commonly blasted at Trump rallies.
We’re not gonna take it….Anymore.”
One result of this “awakening,” is the downfall of several once powerful radio voices – men whose egos are so immense and selfish that the very essence of their global schtick TRUMPED ethics, honesty, and common sense.
They all have one thing in common – they each made the same mistake on the way to Irrelvence Island.
They joined NeverTrump.
Glenn Beck
Crazy Glenn Beck spent over half a million of his own dollars to try and get Ted Cruz elected. However, in the end – all the money, fasting, and nazi-namecalling added up to a big fat zero. Cruz failed, NeverTrump never mattered, and Beck’s “media empire” crumbled (like a plate of crushed Cheetos).
Ben Shapiro
Once revered as the future voice of conservatism, Ben Shapiro was a beacon of hope within the conservative movement. However, everything changed for Ben when he decided to go NeverTrump and throw his career out the window to defend proven liar, Michelle Fields (see stories here, here, and here).
Erick Erickson
The moment Erick Erickson started bashing Trump two things happened. Firstly, he started resembling a thumb and secondly his career fell apart. Erickson went from being hailed as a powerful voice of “conservatism” to huffing and puffing all over Twitter, bitching about Trump with fellow NeverTrump dropkick Rick Wilson (another talentless hack who looks like a thumb).
Mark Levin
During the GOP primary we discovered that Mark Levin will support anyone as long as they promise to buy his dumb books. Levin went on a screaming-mimmy tirade for the last 3 months of Ted Cruz’s race to loserville, bashing Trump and proudly stating he was “NeverTrump.” Since then, Levin’s ratings have tanked.
Hugh Hewitt
Hugh Hewit looks like a cross between Phil Donahue, George McFly, and Justin Bieber. His claim to fame was trying to trip Tump up with a “gotcha” question about some preposterously unknown faction of the Iraqi Army. Since then he’s spent his time on the radio looking for ways to “help Hillary” and losing listeners.
Honorable mentions go to Rush Limbaugh and Dana Loesch. Rush has never gone “full dumbo” and declared himself NeverTrump, although his actions have us wondering. On the other hand, dopey Dana claims she’s not a NeverTrumper (she is) however, she warns us that “mean Trump supporters” may push her there.
Add to the list Michail Berry, out of Houston, TX with about 16 other cities around the country having him on the air. Prior to his attacking Trump he presented himself as a tea party guy, conservative, but as the Rep primary progressed with Trump winning he became vicious in his attacks on Trump. He now presents himself as a “NeverTrumper” and still attacks Trump.
He takes great pleasure on relaying any bad news about the Trump campaign. I have stopped listening to him.

They Will Be Despised!
THEY will Be the
“Drive-by Media.”
Let’s not forget Brent Bozell, Bill Kristol, Rich Lowry, Michael Brown, and last but not least, Mittens Romney.
Oh, and Jonah Goldberg.
You may be right in your assessment but none of the people on the list are beholden to the Republican Party or any particular candidate. I’m certain they’d take pride in being mentioned here.
It’s like Shakespeare could tell them, “you’re up one day the next you’re down”, or was that John Prine?
Anyway strange to watch life’s ironies unfold like this. And that’s the nature of Trump. Oh, and the Trump supporters, who have been there before him and will be there after him
“He now presents himself as a “NeverTrumper” and still attacks Trump.”
Fascinating, when you consider, they told us Romney (flaming liberal RINO) wasn’t perfect but he is our only chance to beat obama. Now, they all don’t seem to mind if shillary get’s in?
We’ve been had!
They can all eat shyte and die for all I care. I hope when Trump is elected these schmucks see the demise of all their careers!
All of them are Free Traitors™
Another THANK YOU< SEAN HANNITY! Sean has never faltered or waffled on supporting Donald Trump. Sean is America first. Sean seems to be one of the very few employees not to have been intimidated into joining the pro Hillary, anti Trump, new face of the formally fair and balanced FOX network.
Rush is very clever
But he’s fake
I still listen but with a grain of salt
Listen to his moms voice or his brother or other peers in his area of boot heel Missouri
And listen to him
They are all southerner accent type Missourians
Rush is a chameleon
David is btw a NTer
I’m a pretty smart guy and I didn’t know what the term ‘Nuclear Triad’ meant at first. Of course I’m not a career politician either. Funny how that works.
Do you mean Stephen Hayes? (not Moore)
Add Larry Kudlow to the yes Trump list
“Worse, how could Rush not see Cruz or anyone except Trump being slaughtered by Hillary?”
For sure! That’s what’s really mind-rattling. Whether I’ve agreed with him or not, at least I always thought he was being intellectually honest - but how could he have ever imagined his “ideal conservative” would EVER have a chance of winning against Hillary? Or Rubio? Or Jeb!?
That leads you right into the thought that either he’s an idiot, which is hard to believe, or he has some other agenda. I would like to hear him address these things. I would like to hear him explain why he supported Cruz. I would like to hear him justify all of Cruz’s lies, narcissism and repulsive back-stabbing and then explain why he thinks Cruz would have won. I would like to hear him explain why Trump, who seems to be everything Rush has been wishing for for DECADES, seems to rub him the wrong way, to the point where he seems to go out of his way even to avoid mentioning the guy’s name.
Is Kristol a talk radio host? I don’t think he is. This is just about those who were stalwarts of conservative talk radio. The only ones I’ll personally listen to anymore are Sean Hannity, Andrew Wilkow, David Webb, and Bauer & Rose.
That must be why he and Beck never went after Obama’s eligibility. But Teflon Don did by God...
