please tell me this thought did not just go through my head: Beck's show is ending

[robertwerden]

Yes, I put this in opposing candidates forum. Please tell me my concern is unfounded and Beck will not run for POTUS.
Everyone on FOX seems to have been forced to leave who might be running, and it is not unheard of for a celebrity to run, and get elected (Reagan, Fred Thompson, Sonny Bonno, That comedian democrat guy....etc)

Apparently that thought just went through your head.

It would be hilarious.

Apparently that thought just went through your head.

It is one of the first things I thought of as well when I heard the news.

If you want a better response you need a better thread title. I'll start one.

Ouch. Just rolled my eyes too hard.

Hope not, Robert. But it's all right; he won't do any better than Trump.

Read page 19, they ask what people think about a fox news commentator running. Why would they ask that question unless it was in reference to Beck?

Also part of that poll nearly comes across as a push poll for Obama.

Disgraceful.

I think this is a very legitimate possibility. I couldn't even imagine what that campaign would be like!

[AZKing]

I don't think he is. Beck has been problems with advertisers dropping him and [supposedly] Fox execs have been wanting to get rid of him for that reason.

Sure would be interesting to have him on stage. Maybe we can get Boehner too and it'll be a cry-a-thon.

I'll admit that a POTUS run was the first thing that crossed my mind too. But the more I thought of it, Beck has his hands in a lot of ventures so perhaps it's just a business move.

[acptulsa]

Either he pissed Rupert off, he wants people to believe he pissed Rupert off, or he has just pissed off too many big sponsors to be worth Faux' continued attention.

Aren't Huckabee and Palin also Fox news commentators?

[acptulsa]

The Huckster is.

[TheTyke]

I have a 9-12 organizer contact who claims Beck IS running. I couldn't tell if he was serious or not though...

Edit: Beck: "Where is he??? Is there not ONE GOOD STATESMAN in our country?!?! Is there no Thomas Jefferson!??! Yes... actually there is... he's ME!" lol

[AFPVet]

You really can't trust anyone anymore... but... at least there are people who show us the world and unlock what was once closed.

[PaleoForPaul]

Good point! I forgot about both of them being actual fox employees somehow.

[IndianaPolitico]

I simply cannot see Beck running for president. At least I HOPE I can't see him running for president.
