Dear Mr. Beck, (Glenn Beck me@glennbeck.com, stu stu@glennbeck.com)
The media are abuzz with the story that you and Erick Erickson are working on an idea to prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidential election in the Electoral College and throwing the election into the House of Representatives.
Let me just ask: Do you remember what happened four years ago when a bunch of Evangelicals stayed home because they refused to support Mitt Romney because he was a Mormon? They gave us four more disastrous years of Obama.
You--of all people--ought to know what happens when there is disunity among Republicans: Democrats win.
I have been a died-in-the-wool Ted Cruz supporter throughout the whole campaign; and I will continue to support Senator Cruz and pray that he gets another chance in the future. But I am now reluctantly supporting Donald Trump because the simple fact is that a vote for ANYONE else is a vote for Hillary Clinton.
I was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1992, for what should have been George H.W. Bush's second term--until Ross Perot came along and took enough votes away in the general election that Bill Clinton won with only 43% of the popular vote.
Hillary is not Bill. The United States as we know it cannot survive a Hillary Clinton presidency. We cannot endure the people she will bring into office with her and the people she will appoint to the Supreme Court. It would be a presidency of unparalleled corruption and persecution of her ideological foes, the subversion of the Constitution, and truly the destruction of this once-great Republic.
If Trump loses, it will be tempting for you and other "never Trump" people to say, "See, we told you he couldn't defeat Hillary." But it will have been a self-fulfilling prophecy brought about by those who stayed home or voted for someone else when they could have saved us from a terrible fate.
Mr. Beck, a lot of other Conservatives have been critical of you in the past, but I have continued to support you and hold you in prayer. I implore you: Do not do this. Do not support a third party or an electoral maneuver to throw this election to some other candidate. I am seriously concerned that your remaining credibility among Conservatives will suffer irreparable harm if you continue to pursue this course.
As hard as it may be, get behind Donald Trump. Become the loyal opposition, if need be, during his presidency. Help hold him accountable. Pray for him. Help insure that he appoints ideologically sound justices to the Supreme Court. (Frankly, I have more confidence in Donald Trump than I do in Mitt Romney, or any of the other names being mentioned, when it comes to appointments.) You would be doing the country and your listeners a greater service by helping to unite Conservatives in defeating defeat Hillary Clinton.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
