Glenn Beck endorses Cruz: Trump win is 'snowball to hell'

Source: CNN

Glenn Beck has cast his vote for president -- and it's definitely not Donald Trump.

Beck officially endorsed presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Saturday while at a rally at Faith Bible College in Iowa.

"We need a new George Washington," Beck said at the rally. "Today's Washington will not be found in the garish light of gold, but rather, in the bold service of a man who stands tirelessly for what he deeply believes -- that government should be of the people, by the people, and for the people."

"I have prayed for the next George Washington," Beck said of Cruz. "I believe I have found him."

Trump vs Cruz, that is.

It's not the least bit surprising though, given Cruz is an unabashed supporter of making the US a theocracy.

I thought Beck was trying to get people to buy gold. I'm so confused...and Ted Cruz as another George Washington? Really? Well, this confirms one thing for me: Cruz would be an even worse president than Trump. But I knew that already.

Doesn't that make Beck's statement a non sequitur? Strike that. Everything he says is a non sequitur.

Remember, their plan is dismantle public education and they've been at it for years. I can tell they're succeeding by their voters. Of course now they can't handle the monster they've created - trump supporters. And, I thought the fact that they created a base who became tea partiers bit them in the arse. Okay, it's still biting them in the arse - they are the trump supporters.

and craps on bush.

if it was the other way around bush would be on top

and beck really is a nut.

it's too bad the left doesn't pay attention to rw radio - it's been kicking our ass since reagan killed the fairness doctrine in 1987- progressive orgs have been wasting our donations and hours for 25 years, undone by a few blowhards with big microphones.

a cable subscriber did I personally ever see any gold buying ads on Thom's show.

Can't eat gold anyway.. food, water filters, containers, tents.. perhaps today's HOMELESS would be more likely to survive the Apocalypse better than JEB's daughter would.
