Glenn Beck faces reality: I was wrong about Ted Cruz

[TomSea]

The liberal/leftist media is making a to-do about Beck's one remark:

Glenn Beck Loses It Over Ted Cruz, Wants To Be Covered In ‘Bucket Of Blood

"Which one? Which one? I contend neither of them ― and so we will just soak each other in buckets of blood. We’ll be a happy little bumper-sticker community that shames one another to make sure you walk in goose-step with all the other Hillary supporters or walk in goose-step with all the other Trump supporters.”

Ted Cruz is exactly right about the choice voters face in November.  Do you want Trump or Clinton, because one of them will be the next President.

@Eowyn

Neither.  That's why I won't take part in inflicting either of them on the country.

It's very simple.

[Longmire]

No conservative should sit out an election that decides who will replace Anton Scalia on the highest court.

Its very simple...there are only two outcomes.

No he's not right.

I can choose "Neither" because neither of the choices represent a single value I have, personal or political.

I still respect Ted Cruz, but he is dead wrong about this.  It is not a "binary choice" when both choices are corrupt and amoral, and entirely lacking in integrity and virtue.

Pressure to make me vote against my conscience and ethical standards will not succeed.  Some things are worth fighting for.

I cannot, I will not recant.  Here I stand.

The only way there are two outcomes is if someone is holding a gun to my head and forcing me to vote for one of the two.  Since that's not the case, I have quite a few options.  Your problem is that you don't like it, but your dislike doesn't change facts.

No man who says he's a Democrat in lots of ways and says he doesn't care if the Senate goes Democrat will appoint decent judges.  To believe he will is a fantasy born of desperation.

Time to put a falsehood to bed.

The President DOES NOT APPOINT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO THEIR SEATS.   HE NOMINATES THEM.

THE SENATE MUST CONFIRM THE NOMNEE.

The fact is - Trump could appoint a Scalia clone for the bench and the Democrats have already vowed to block any Conservative nominee to the High Court.

Everyone is tilting at windmills over this issue.  Voting for Trump will no more put a Conservative on the court than if one votes for Hillary.  It is most likely only a liberal will be nominated and seated.  That's just the plain truth.

So voting for Trump to 'save' our rights because of a nomination of a justice to the Supreme Court is beyond stupid.  You might as well state that you are voting for Trump so you can win the lottery.

The number of possible outcomes for this election is predetermined lady,  either Trump or Clinton will become President.

Lets agree on that much ok?

[geronl]

Ted is a politician. Sad to see him lying for Trump.

[geronl]

The notion that Trump would nominate a conservative for SCOTUS is a ridiculous fantasy that defies all reality

False.

There's also the slim possibility that Johnson siphons off enough electoral votes in a few western states to send this to the House, where all three would be put on the ballot.

It's about as much of a chance as we have of Trump actually governing as a conservative.

Aye.

I'm voting for Pat Toomey, with the hope that he'll vote whether or not to confirm the next SCOTUS nominee.

  But no way in hell will I vote for such a dangerous man as Trump for President.  Tell me all the bad stuff you can think of about Clinton, and my response is simple - Trump's worse.

By all means Music, absolutely vote your conscience!

You can rest assured that I will.

And I know that you will as well! 

[Longmire]

Toomey is likely to lose without Trump's coattails in PA, and if Trump loses Toomey will be voting to confirm Obama's nominee for USSC before he packs up and goes home for good.

I don't buy your "OMG, OMG!  The Supreme Court Justices!!!", alarmist line of crap, at all.  It's on the Senate.

"...and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States...

True, and they will face enormous pressure to pass SCJs if any of the current ones die or retire.  And, they will cave as they have in the past.

And, we know what kind of justices will be put forth by HRC.  No questions there.

@rodamala

You'll love crooked Hillary's choices then, she used to play 2nd base for the US Senate.

Mrs. Clinton might even nominate Obama ...for services rendered  in the furtherance of her career.

And if you think McConnell & company can (or want to) stop them...think again. 
 

[rodamala]

PA is supposedly a tight race... Obviously if Trump and Hillary are the best that these political parties can present as candidates after 8 years of 0bama... things are not sufficiently "bad enough"... and I may as well toss a vote to Hillary and help really bring the pain.

Meanwhile, I'll be sniffing some Hoppes No. 9, dulling the pain, in my plywood shack in the Idaho panhandle.

I used to feel a sense of patriotic pride and accomplishment when I went to the polls.  I am actually dreading the November election.  I wish I could stay home, forget voting, pull the covers over my head and come out in 4 years.

That makes two of us, @libertybele!  That's a perfect description of how I feel now, and how I'm sure I'll feel on election day.

THESE TWO are the best America has to offer??  What a time of darkness we are in!

My patriotism has taken a hit lately, I'll tell you that.  We can't "make America great again" with a clown and a criminal running for President.  This is SO discouraging for people like us who used to feel SO much pride....
