Huh? Glenn Beck Tells Iowa Crowd He Prefers Bernie Sanders Over Donald Trump
The Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 01/24/2016 7:44:58 AM PST by springwater13

Beck said he had never endorsed a presidential candidate in his 40 years of broadcasting, but he made an exception because of the urgency of the moment.

He said he even prefers Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" running in the Democratic presidential primary, to Trump.

"Honesty, faith and truth are basic requirements. And quite honestly, I have to tell you, this probably isn't going to go over very well, that's why I like Bernie Sanders," he said. "Bernie Sanders is like, 'Yep, I'm a socialist.'

"I can actually sit at a table with a man who says, 'Yes, I'm a socialist, and yes, I don't like what we are doing, we should be more like Denmark,' " he added.

This election season is ripping the masks off of many in the public eye. Jeb Bush compliments Bloomberg who could not be a more destructive force against liberty. Beck loves Bernie Sanders. Fox is in the tank for the GOPe. I can’t remember when I had so much fun.

Maybe the Cruz people have internal polling that shows them losing steam and they are so desperate they are making mistakes under pressure. If there is one thing that is crystal clear. We know Trump is fully in charge and running things. There is no doubt. With Beck in the picture you wonder who is now in charge? Is it Cruz or Beck.

When Palin spoke for Trump she had her moment in the sun but when she was done it was clear she is there to help Trump and he is the kahuna.

You don’t get that impression with the Back/Cruz thing.

Either the headline is misleading, or the article is poorly written. The headline says that Beck "prefers" Sanders to Trump, but the actual Beck quote in the article only says he likes Sanders because he's honest.

You'd think if Beck said what the headlines claimed that they'd have included the actual quote of him saying that.

That being said, the Palin and Beck endorsements are not something that make me think better of either of the candidates.

I do not see any actual quote from Beck where he says that he prefers Sanders to Trump. Here is what the article from The Hill states on this point:

“He said he even prefers Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” running in the Democratic presidential primary, to Trump.

“Honesty, faith and truth are basic requirements. And quite honestly, I have to tell you, this probably isn’t going to go over very well, that’s why I like Bernie Sanders,” he said. “Bernie Sanders is like, ‘Yep, I’m a socialist.’

I’d love a Cruz-Sanders race for the clarity of the choice.

BOL! I would have loved to won the recent Super Lotto. I probably had more of a chance of winning the Super Lotto, than a Cruz-Sanders race. Keep dreaming:)

“Wow, Cruz should of avoided this guy like the plague. Beck now thinks he’s a big part of the Cruz campaign and is gonna puff on air how important he is.”

The “logo” for the event had a photo of Cruz on one side and Beck on the other.

I had thought it was a Photoshop job done by someone on FR. But it was the ACTUAL image they used on-stage! Was this supposed to be a rally for Cruz or Beck trying to run as a co-candidate?

Beck is bought and paid for...Freedom works, Amer 4 prosperity, Lobbyist run ‘Tea party’ groups. Levin pushes the same groups and they back Cruz.

[Dick] Armey said FreedomWorks paid Beck $1 million to say nice things about the group to raise more cash” http://www.thewire.com/politics/2013/01/dick-armey-sticks-his-freedomworks-payback-glenn-beck/60624/

BOL! This week, my wife will be making our monthly Costco run. We will buy a couple of big boxes of good microwaveable popcorn. This campaign is funnier than reruns of the Big Bang.

On “Farce the nation” they are explaining it all, bashing Cruz.

NOBODY likes this guy because he is the real deal, they Like Trump because he is willing to bend to the left.

Well you just might get Sanders as there are more gimme dats than conservatives willing to vote Cruz. I would vote Cruz in the general so save the attack.

What was Cruz thinking bringing this nut in?

Meanwhile, behind the scene at Cruz headquarters...

The bugs Cruz is drawing seem to be the fringes - Beck listeners and 100%ers ...

Not that there is anything wrong with that. They are following their heart.

True! Just do not expect us to drink the Beck/Jim Jones Koolaid!

ALL marxists should be rounded up and incarcerated until they renounce communism/socialism.

Karl Marx wasn't one of the founding fathers.

Marxism and islam are not compatible with American values and the ideologies and those who support these ideologies must be eradicated from the USA.

The Sanders/Clinton campaigns are another battle in the race war waged being waged by communists and their black shock troops against white American taxpayers.

The white pussies in DC, NYC, and San Francisco may be willing to stand around and let themselves be raped, murdered, and pillaged by a bunch of demented savages.

Out in Real America, different story.

We will bury them.

Birds of a feather flock together. Another nail in the coffin of Rafael Eduardo Cruz.
