Glenn Beck: I���m with Her?


As the most bizarre presidential campaign any of us can remember marches on, the fallout from the so-called ���Trump tapes��� appears to have made strange bedfellows of Hillary Clinton and another high-profile Republican. What is so bizarre about this particular fellow, one-time ���firebrand��� conservative media personality Glenn Beck, is that there was a time one might have thought him to be in the camp of ���Anybody BUT Hillary.���


Now, it seems, Beck is proclaiming, ���I���m with her,��� in a fashion.

On Saturday, when the Trump audio was still very fresh, Beck went to Facebook to somberly write, ���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. 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.���


To be clear, it does not appear that he is saying an overt vote for Hillary Clinton is a ���moral, ethical choice,��� but that the decision to refrain from casting a vote for Trump, which may, in turn, lead to Hillary���s election as President of the United States, is such a choice.


That said, it does seem as though Beck is awfully comfortable with the idea that Hillary Clinton could be the next occupant of the Oval Office. While Beck may not go out and explicitly cast his vote for her, abstaining from voting entirely, while simultaneously believing that such an abstention would lead to her election, is tantamount to voting for her.


Who knows? Next, maybe Beck will endorse Hillary outright.
