Glenn Beck: Hillary Clinton is a 'moral, ethical choice' for Republicans (CNN Article)

Hell has frozen over...or Glenn Beck is insane. Possibly both. It amuses me to no end that Beck has gone from a NeverTrump, to screaming on-air at his former "ideal candidate" Ted Cruz, complete with Beck speaking about dumping a bucket of blood on himself, to actually telling his AM Talk Radio base that Hillary Clinton is "a moral, ethical choice".

***

My favorite Beck quote:

"It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity," Beck wrote on Facebook in reference to Trump. "If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice."

Unfortunately, Beck is not an arbiter of what is moral or ethical. Orsino Oct 2016 #5

Didn't know about the bucket of blood thing.

There was an article last week about The Blaze crashing. Management is changing on his whims , staff are not being replaced, it is hemorrhaging money due to extravagant spending on office space - Beck redoing his office several times- a $2 M a night stage production, AND (does this tell you anything) Beck pouring money into security for himself including a bulletproof car.

His $13/month subscriptions worked great for a while but clicks on the website have dropped off the table and he is leveraged way beyond even the heights of his revenue stream.
