Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” radio talk show host Glenn Beck said if Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who he campaigned for throughout the Republican presidential primary, endorsed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump that would mean he can not trust anyone in Washington D.C.

Beck said, “I will tell you if that if Ted Cruz comes out and —what is it Monday or Tuesday night when he gives his speech and he endorses, even a soft endorsement of Donald Trump I will officially have no person in that I can trust says what they mean and mean what they say.”

Well said, Glenn "Secret Service Visit" Beck or Glenn "Pro-Gay Marriage" Beck.

I can get by the latter, we have a right to our views even if others disagree but to get suspended for a week because of one's remarks concerning the safety of a candidate is something else. Yes, one could put up an argument, Beck did not mean it. That's not very persuasive to many though.

Yeah, there are many idiots out there who don't consider context and the actual words.

Yep, if Sen. Cruz endorses Mr. Trump then I will lose all respect for Sen. Cruz. But I don't he will will endorse Mr. Trump. Study the way Sen. Cruz refused to endorse Sen. Cornyn when Cornyn was up for re-election in 2014 to see how I think Sen. Cruz will handle it.

I don't think Cruz will even utter the word Trump (or Pence). He will probably talk at lengths about the meaning of conservatism, how the GOP in the past has been a foundation of constitutional conservatism and should be in the future. If the GOP can't push a conservative agenda and candidates, it will no longer survive as a relevant party and leave it at that.

Just saw a report on FoxBusiness that Cruz is working behind the scenes to have his name put in nomination at the convention ala Ronald Regan in 1976- setting him up for 2020.

I think you're right. This is what Cruz should do.

Is this making excuses for Glenn "Secret Service visit" and "suspended" Beck? Is this making excuses for Glenn "Pro-Gay Marriage" Beck? Have at it. He's laughing all the way to the bank and he is talented but even the appearance of what he says seriously detracted from his credibility. If one wants to squeeze in more negatives over that, so be it. I believe in civil discourse. And I don't believe in even giving the appearance of threats against public or private figures.

If Cruz endorses Trump this week, I will still support Cruz. It will mean, quite frankly, that he has come to grips with the dire and dismal reality that we now face. That being....

it's either Trump or Hillary. I figure it will be Hillary, but I'm not going to help her get elected by NOT voting Trump. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least contribute my vote, worthless or no, to the mix. No, I'm still not happy with Trump as, quite literally, our 'only' choice now. But it is what it is. And yeah, we're probably screwed either way we go now and at this point of our deliberately brought about demise.

But then....neither will the nation survive with only one party ...the uniparty...or the DemocRats. This government was based on a system of checks and balances. We no longer have those checks and balances.

Trump has never been in this to defeat Hillary. He's been in this to derail the conservative movement, hijack the GOP and hand the keys to the oval office to Hillary.

I will not vote for Hillary nor will I vote for Trump. One is a liberal criminal who wants to expand her dynasty and the other is a liberal narcissist who wants to build his monarchy. I'm not interested in assisting either one of them.

#NeverTrump

If Cruz cannot figure out that Beck is poisonous, politically speaking, I will have to revise my opinion of him down.

TomSea · « **Reply #15 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:59:30 pm »

Glenn's done things for charity, that's good, but it's a balancing act with some of the other things he does.

libertybele · « **Reply #16 on:** July 18, 2016, 05:05:16 pm »

I agree with Beck. If we can't trust Cruz who can we trust? Cruz has a very strong clean conservative record and he came very close to taking this country back. I don't see him giving up everything that he's every worked for and stood for to give liberal Trump the satisfaction of an endorsement. He would be kissing his political career good-bye. I just don't see that happening. Trump may have very well promised him a position in his cabinet and may accept, but that is no where near an endorsement.

If Trump publicly apologizes to Cruz before Cruz takes the stage, Cruz may give him a soft endorsement; otherwise it's not going to happen.

Since he will run for senate reelection in two years hence, principles count more than who he endorses or votes for or against. One must NEVER sacrifice principles over a single vote.

That is why we need a new "major" party in the mix. The current situation of our government no longer has checks and balances with just a two-party system.

LOL! He was referring to his co-worker, with whom he was joking. It was obvious.

There were two incidences, in one, the network saw fit to suspend Beck:

Quote

SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck after an interview he did last week with author Brad Thor about a "hypothetical" situation where Donald Trump was president and abusing his power.

Thor mused on the air since Congress will not be able to remove Trump from office should he be elected, "what patriot will step up and do that if, if, he oversteps his mandate as president?" Beck said he agreed with his guest's comment.

Both Beck and Thor came under fire for their comments. Thor defended himself on Twitter saying, "What @glennbeck & I discussed was a hypothetical scenario in which a President Trump goes full dictator."

Sometimes one has to even avoid the appearance of impropriety.

That's quite a thing to say, what if Rush or Rachel Maddow or any other example of talking heads say it.

Cruz will endorse Trump. He made the loyalty pledge which he will keep. More importantly, Cruz will need Trump's voters when he runs for President. Cruz cannot simultaneously and perpetually act like a sore loser and a one man band and win the nomination. He cannot visibly backstab Trump in front of a Conservative audience without it ruining any possibility of victory.

I am not a Republican, I am a conservative.

As such, I support and vote for conservative positions and the most conservative candidate available to me. In Trump vs Hillary, Trump is more conservative that Hillary, as such, I will vote for Trump. I am still concerned that Trump may not govern as a conservative and will continue to call for Trump to take and support conservative positions. If he strays from the conservative approach, I will call him out. I would do the same and have done the same for any candidate.

I guess it comes down to this. For years the GOP has been telling me to hold my nose and support their candidate. Well now I am going to do that and the GOPe does not like it.

Need Trump's voters when he runs for President? That is IF Trump is elected and IF Trump is seen as a conservative and good president; otherwise Cruz endorsing Trump would be extremely detrimental to his political career and future presidential campaign. Cruz is no fool. Sorry, but for Cruz to endorse the same a**hole that insulted his wife and lied and accused his Dad of murdering one of the most popular presidents in U.S. history would clearly indicate weakness. The only backstabbing that has been going on is from the orange buffoon. Remember, Cruz has earned a spot at the Convention; he has every right to be there; invitation from the orange baboon or not.
