Karl Rove made the same prediction about Romney in 2012.

When you get past the Tweet and look at the actual conversation he had on the radio, this is no way a reversal of how Glenn fills about Trump or any sort of an endorsement. It's not. He is simply doing the math, and the Hillary Blowout may be suffering a meltdown if truly 30% of Democrats vote for Trump. I can't fault him on the math and the prediction, because I see things shifting that way as well. The debates will assure things one way or the other.  

GLENN: Hello, America. I’m going to make a prediction about Donald Trump. I could say he’s going to be the nominee of the Republican Party. But I think that’s obviously a foregone conclusion. Here’s my prediction, and I stand by it: Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States. JEFFY: Oh. GLENN: And I don’t think there’s any way around it. I believe Donald Trump will beat Hillary Clinton. And here’s why: The — Hillary Clinton is such a flawed candidate. I’ve said this for a long time. My shoe would beat Hillary Clinton, right? Anything — a rock will beat Hillary Clinton. That’s why I said, “This is our biggest chance, our biggest chance to beat Hillary Clinton.” And my theory was, because nobody is going to cross over to vote for the Republicans, per se. But if the Republicans would unite and they would unite around constitutional principles, we could win and restore the nation. But what’s happening is Donald Trump is a divisive figure. And a lot of people, you know, disagree with me. They think we’re the divisive ones. Fine. Whatever. Those people who are supporting Donald Trump are, most of them, who have been on the bandwagon before, are not constitutionalists, not people who actually believed in the principles of the Tea Party. Some of them were Tea Party goers, but they have been so badly beaten and disenfranchised by the G.O.P., by the — by the entire government, by culture, that they just want somebody to stop the madness. But that’s not the key to the success here. The key to success here is star power. And somebody from the outside that is going to shake things up. And I believe — after looking at the exit polls last night, I believe the number — and, Stu, you’ll have to look this up. I believe the number was 30 percent of Democrats that said they will cross over and vote for Donald Trump. Now, 40 percent of Republicans say they’re not happy with Donald Trump. Let’s say 20 percent actually stick by that. Let’s say 20 percent actually stick by that and say, for principles, I’m not going to do it. I’ll find another party, or I just won’t for that level on the ticket. Ten percent, probably maybe — maybe 20 percent will just stay home, and they’ll say, “It doesn’t matter.” But if you can get 30 percent — when was the last time you ever saw a poll that said 5 percent of Democrats would vote for a Republican? Certainly not 30 percent in an exit poll that say they would cross over. That shows how weak of a candidate she is.

I agree with Glen Beck and I'm not sure which scares me more: that Donald might win or that Donald might lose.

Losing Donald means losing the white house, USSC, possibly the Senate.

Winning Donald means ... well I don't know. Trump is making it up as he goes along. I"m sure he will appoint a good conservative judge, so I don't agree that he's a liberal. It's the "other" stuff he will do that scares me. For example the wall... I would be fine with just the wall, but the making Mexico pay for it that could really spiral into something else entirely...trade war, who knows? What if the Congress doesn't pass what Trump wants? What does Trump do then? That part is what scares me.
