Radio host Glenn Beck had a dire message for those hoping to hear a pep talk at the Red State Gathering of Republicans in Denver on Friday.
“The GOP is over,” said Beck, hours before his keynote speech that was supposed to unify conservatives at the conference.
Beck spoke at the gathering, meant to organize grassroots Republicans operations just 90 days from the November election. He scolded conservatives as more and more Republicans try to distance themselves from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Beck speaks to a tiny group of Clinton stooges and confused Red State types. And the media gives it full coverage.
The Grand Old Party got into bed with the Clintons and the democrats. They don’t care about their voters. The GOP committed suicide. RIP.
It’s been over. For a least a decade.
I agree Glenn. The Trump common sense train just went right through it.
Wonder if people would pay extra for the audio of Glenn screaming like a little girl, and the splorting sounds of Beck Mitting his pants?
I thought the GOP as over when Glenn left the party a couple of years ago. I guess Glenn is stuck on rewind.
What are you talking about? Most Republicans support Trump. Stop listening to media BS hyping unknown former Bush officials who are endorsing Clinton. Did you hear the delegates reaction to Ted Cruz’s speech? Those delegates are the Republican Party.
Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.It’s been over for longer than that.
The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

Beck also appeased the Black Lives Matter terrorists one day before they tore Milwaukee apart. The only thing that should be “over” is his career.
Glenn Beck is over. Sooooo damned over.....
It still rankles me that he was stupid enough to run against Saint John the Kennedy in 1964. Abraham Lincoln would have lost that year.
If Goldwater would have just waited until 68 he would have won.
“The GOP is over.”
How’d that happen?
Hey Glen, YOU’RE OVER!!
The days of considering Glen Beck sane are over!!!
Put some cheetos on that, Glenn.
“It still rankles me that he was stupid enough to run against Saint John the Kennedy in 1964. Abraham Lincoln would have lost that year.”
Did you mean that figuratively? Kennedy was dead and Goldwater ended up running against Lyndon Johnson.
1964. The Rats could have put a tackling dummy up for Pres
and they would have won. Goldwater should stood have stood aside and let Daddy Romney or whoever the GOPeunuchs put up get slaughtered
and waited four years. He would have won over Nixon in the primaries
I believe.
The passage from the book seems to indicate that it was “over” for the GOP far longer than that.
Beck has really turned out to be a tool. He should slither back into the hole he was hatched in.
Both party’s have been over for at least 20 years. It’s because Trump has exposed their lies and cozy arrangement people are just now becoming aware the GOPe was hijacked by the establishment RINO’s and their counterparts in the dem party which has also been hijacked by the sick and twist liberal progressive communists.
Donald Trump is uniquely qualified to fix this steaming pile of corruption in both party’s via indictment and prison time for all involved. All he has to do is hold the course, stay alive, and get elected. It’s the staying alive part that has me concerned. Look at all the dead bodies in the clinton wake and they are piling up behind obie now too unsurprisingly.
Trump is now getting the crowds that Beck got in 2010. I think it went to Becks head. It was the message that drew so many people to his rallies during those early tea party days. But he must have thought it was about him, and pride is a funny thing.
