I saw through entertainment professional Beck years ago. Long before this election cycle.
He is mental. As in highly intelligent, recovery product, probably manic-depressive, good actor, etc. Probably more superlatives.
But hardly a good source for sober political discussion or guidance.
He's not 'mental.' He's hyper-emotional and hyperbolic, but not insane.
What I do when I listen to Beck, is filter out the crazy stuff and listen for the substance. There's been a lot lately, with his work to free the Christians being persecuted by ISIS in the Middle East.
And he's been spot on about Trump.
Take that, FWIW. Trump uses Alinsky tactics all the time. He's just creating chaos in the Republican primary process, and making us all look awful. Fortunately, I think his game is about over because people are taking note of his childishness, his misogyny and his lack of any kind of core values.
I hope this Iowa temper tantrum does him in for good, and we can get on with the seriousness of beating the Socialists.
