Conservative commentator Glenn Beck said that the election of Hillary Clinton is a "moral, ethical choice" for Republicans if it means keeping an "immoral man" out of the White House.

"If the consequence of standing against [Donald] Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it," Beck wrote on Facebook.

Beck has long been an outspoken critic of Trump, and is no fan of Clinton either: "Her tactics are blatant and juvenile," he said. But "if she is elected, the world does not end."

Beck joins a large number of Republican leaders who have disavowed Trump after the release of lewd audio capturing the Republican nominee bragging about groping women. Jeva Lange

Just use my husband's strategy if you're a true conservative. Vote for Clinton who will be SOOO bad there is no way she'll win again in 4 years, and by then the Republicans will have a more suitable presidential candidate who will definitely win over Clinton (there will be no other Democrat running instead of the POTUS).

He thinks long term. If Trump were to win this election, Democrats would have a strong replacement available for 4 years from now. This is a placeholder election, in other words. And the one in 4 years will hopefully have a good enough candidate to be re-elected and get 2 terms.

Hmmmm....
I consider myself a true conservative.
I don't agree with this strategy. I don't think America can withstand 4 years of Clinton unscathed.
Which is not to say that it will survive 4 years of Trump unscathed.
It's just that Trump I don't know what to expect and maybe he'll surprise us all and be okay. Clinton, we know what we're getting and it's Obama 2.0. Or worse.
On top of that she is a criminal and wicked to the core.
I'd rather vote for the loudmouth with the inflated ego and take my chances on him than vote for the socialist murderess.

Oh, and I think the general consensus is that Glenn Beck went of the deep end some time ago. I don't know how many people actually take him seriously at this point.

It's probably a place holder election either way. While I was still capable of possibly voting for Trump (I'm not sure where I am) it was for Pence.

As of Erev YK -

Quote:

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck made it clear Tuesday he has no intention of casting his ballot for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump on Election Day.

“I am firmly against both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as potential presidents of the United States of America. I believe that neither candidate has the values, decency or principles to be the leader of the free world,” Beck wrote on his website. “And for the millionth time (though I presume not the last), I reject the notion of a binary choice. I will not vote for the ‘lesser of two evils.’”

The popular commentator’s post came after a whirlwind of false reports surfaced Monday night suggesting he was throwing in with the Democratic presidential nominee. While Beck did say the thought of voting for Clinton “crossed my mind,” he made it clear he would not do it because he thinks her administration would lead to a country “run by oligarchs.”

In addition to those comments, Beck wrote on his Facebook page over the weekend, “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.”

Some misleading reports suggested Beck was indicating the “moral, ethical choice” was voting for Clinton. That, however, is not the case, according to the media personality.

“The ‘moral, ethical’ reference is not directed towards Hillary Clinton, but rather my decision to stand for and on my principles against the candidacy of Donald Trump,” Beck clarified. “If other people share this principle and hence, Clinton is elected, at least my choice of sticking to my principles is, to me, moral and ethical.”

“Any attempt at putting words in my mouth or distorting this very clear statement is unfortunate and yet, not surprising,” he added. “I challenge any objective reader to read my statement and come to a different conclusion.”

While Beck wrote that he is not endorsing any presidential candidate this cycle, he reiterated that, if the election were held today, he would vote for Darrell Castle, an attorney from Memphis, Tennessee, and the Constitution Party’s nominee for president.

Many top Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump.

Republicans now control Congress.

It could be that Republicans are afraid that if Trump wins, and is a disaster, Republicans will lose control of Congress as happened with Obama in the midterms.

Or it could be that the top Republicans think Trump will lose, and they want to maintain the support of their constituencies among the non-Trump supporting conservatives.

So they are distancing themselves from Trump now, strategically, to hopefully retain their control of Congress should Hillary win.
