I just saw Beck..

[PCKY]

Give it some time everyone. Beck will come around again once Rand Paul is no longer a threat to the Presidency. He will be a libertarian and a Rand Paul supporter again.

Well when he does I won't be there...Beck is dead to me and so is The Blaze. I don't see any truth with them anymore.

I think that The Blaze is in trouble which is good news.

I read your Facebook post... Being combative doesn't win friends. Focus on where the Paul and Cruz agree and then make a case for why Paul is the best candidate to nominate to win the White House.

I was just asking as requested in the previous threads. I agree and will continue to get out there for Paul.

 

[Paulistinian]

Great! I know it's hard not to argue with these people and sometimes it seems like that is the only way to reach them but once Cruz drops out we'll need to win them over so it will be easier to do when they already have positive impression of Rand and Rand's supporters.

The ironic thing is that the very same deal he's complaining about - Ted Cruz was in on too. He sat with Rand and McConnell while making that deal and they both made it at the very same time, all three together.

Glenn and his followers are fucking retarded.

Here’s the problem….

Actually, here’s the lie…

Senator Rand Paul and Senator Ted Cruz made the same deal, together, at exactly the same time.

Stop – Repeat !

“The deal”, as Beck describes it, was actually real – and did actually take place. The deal was to go along with Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell’s overall objectives, electoral objectives AND legislative objectives, as the GOP entered into the 2014 mid-term election cycle.

The deal, which few were tracking at the time, was a deal made just before the legislative Christmas holiday and just after congress returned the following year. “The Deal” was made in December 2013 and January 2014.

Both Senator Rand Paul and Senator Ted Cruz agreed with congressional leadership (McConnell) to go along with the GOP leadership’s electoral/legislative priorities. That was the deal.

I won't be listening to know if he does. Who cares?

Beck never said that. In fact, as recent as Friday he said that if he had the power to simply "insert" a candidate into the Presidency, Rand would be his #2.

It's true they weren't fond of his support for McConnell (honestly, I don't see how ANYONE could. Rand basically stabled his principles in order to play the typical Washington game of "you scratch my back, I scratch yours and frankly, most people are sick of that)

In fact, I would say Beck defended Rand the most out of anyone when that went down.

His co-host, Stu also agreed with Glen in terms of Rand being their #2. For whatever reason, the other co-host, Pat still holds a grudge against Rand and I think had him at 5th.

Me neither, I no longer listen to him. PBS has classical music on at the same time; I like that better.

This is the problem, too many demagogues. Rand actively fights AGAINST McConnell on practically everything in the senate, but because of an endorsement and that he won't make it personal, that makes Rand establishment. Liberty voters are too easily spooked.

I agree, but in hindsight it was probably a terrible mistake to endorse McConnell's reelection.

(I had no problem with it at the time.)

Rand obviously endorsed McConnell for three reasons: 1) so that, as Majority Leader, McConnell would allow Rand to filibuster and bring votes such as Audit the Fed, 2) so that he'd raise money for Rand's campaign, 3) so that he'd endorse Rand, making more possible campaign donations from fat-cat establishment Republicans.

These are good reasons, but could you imagine the improved anti-establishment aura Rand would now be basking in if he'd fought against McConnell's reelection? In this climate he'd be campaigning on that.

Rand was on Beck this morning, so I was listening to the run up. That jackass actually compared Cruz to Calvin Coolidge. I normally don't let talk radio affect me, but damn! that was loud profanity coming out of my mouth.

It's really a lot simpler than that. McConnell was the only GOP in the race at that time, and both the Pauls have generally supported the incumbent GOP in local races.

How I wish Mitch was the senior senator from TX instead of KY. Mr.sanctimonious would have done the same if no one challenger was yet to enter the race..

Wow, I missed that. Obviously the old adage is true, it takes one narcissist to know another one. Which makes me wonder why Beck isn't supporting Trump. I suppose Cruz must secretly be the bigger narcissist. Which honestly wouldn't surprise me as he tries to do a better job hiding it than Trump.
