Glenn Beck calls Donald Trump a false conservative
« on: August 22, 2015, 10:28:16 PM »
ALSO - Trump was on Levin's show and Mark ask an open question - what does conservatism means to him. Trumps response did not include Constitution (federalism) or small government.

Trump has been spewing Liberal views most of his life and still praises nationialized medicine and funding the “good” things Planned Parenthood does.


Conservative American talk show host Glenn Beck has slammed frontrunner Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying he is a false conservative.

Beck, a former member of the Republican Party, said in an interview on Saturday, “I haven’t heard him talk about the Constitution or small government.”

“It’s hard to say you espouse conservative principles and small-government principles when you are saying that you think [the] Canadian health care system works and is wonderful,” he added.

“I look for a man of integrity, humility, who is rooted in the Constitution,” Beck stated, “because if you root yourself in the Constitution, we can’t go too far left or too far right.”

Trump has maintained a lead among GOP presidential contenders in national polling since he announced his candidacy in mid-July.

A Rasmussen poll released Friday found that a majority of Republican voters (57 percent) believe Trump will be their party’s nominee for president in 2016. Among all likely voters, 49 percent believe Trump is likely to win the GOP nomination, up from 23 percent two months ago.

“He is not a politician,” Beck declared. “He is saying the populist things right now.”

“I think what’s happening with Bernie Sanders with the left is the same thing that’s happening with Donald Trump,” he opined, referring to the independent presidential candidate seeking Democratic nomination.

“They want somebody to say it the way they think it – especially if they say it in a non-politically correct way,” the former Fox News pundit asserted.

 Um, and the problem with that is what exactly?

 He's doing well because people are sick to death of politicians.

Trump might be worse than a politician.   

He's peddling racial hatred, skirting any real positions on anything, and really just plain duping conservatives into supporting an admitted non-conservative.

IMO, trump will be a dangerous leader.  Hilary and Jeb suck - but you know they will handle themselves adequately in G8 summits.  Will Trump?  Will he pull stunts, ask Merkel if she's on the rag or maybe tell Putin he dares him to start a war?

Limited minds are driven by bias, insecurity and fear. He is using right wing tactics against right wingers. A good example is the Megan Kelly menstrual comment. If he directed that at Rachel Maddow or that fox Robin Meade........different story. But, right winger on right winger attacks is  a no-no, according to their playbook.

He's doing well, because people (mostly white) deep down are scared that some illegal is going to take their job (They aren't)

He's doing well, because people (mostly white) think that brown is the new black. (It shouldn't be)

He's not talking about building a wall across Canada... Wonder why that is? Lots of Canadian illegals come across.

I think he's somewhat of a new party. Maybe this is when republicans change from bible thumpers to more progressive.  The old generation is dying out, and Trump is the face of the new. Not totally left or totally right, but in the middle where most of us are.
