http://www.glennbeck.com/2015/10/21/bernie-sanders-supporters-loud-and-proud-at-texas-state-fair/On radio Wednesday, Glenn talked about the experience two of his staff members had at the Texas State Fair last week. When they asked people to share their thoughts on politics, they couldnt get anyone who was voting for a Republican to go on camera not once. The Hillary Clinton supporters, the Bernie Sanders supporters, they had no problem. They were loud and proud at the Texas State Fair, Glenn said.
What does this say about conservative voters? Are they scared? Ashamed? Something else?
GLENN: Now, we went out; we went out to the Texas State Fair. And we asked people to talk to us about politics. Talk to us who you're for. We couldn't get anybody that was voting for a Republican in Texas to go on camera with us. Not one. The Hillary Clinton supporters, the Bernie Sanders supporters, they had no problem. They were loud and proud at the Texas State Fair.
Everybody that stood around made fun of those people. And then when our camera crew said, "You want to come on and talk about who you're for?" "Oh, no, no, no."
Here's what it said to me. If you don't have the courage of your convictions to go on and say what you believe, we're in trouble. Because they were loud and proud. They come out, "Bernie Sanders. Woo!" Loud. No one else in the Texas State Fair, no one would come out and say anything.

I do believe Bernie's folk were excited and happy -- because they are.

I think the Democratic Party doesn't want to upset the apple cart to easily win and bury Republicans. The Plutocrats would have trouble using one Party against the other if that were the case. Plus the elections would not be close enough to steal.

(10,786 posts)The point was to get upset that Democrats are proudly embracing "scary socialists" like Sanders and Clinton, while Texas Republicans are afraid to embrace their clowns in public.

(10,786 posts)What was Glenn Beck's master deceitful plan in saying that Democrats are loud and proud about the candidates they support, while Republicans are afraid to mention which clown in the clown car they most admire?
Not everything a liar says is always a lie. Doesn't the OP make much more sense as a truthful observation rather than some sort of deceitful strategy with an unknown, inscrutable purpose?

How embarrassing.

(10,786 posts)Anything at all?
Beck's producers tried to get Texans to talk to them about who they are supporting for Presidents. Only Democrats responded. The Republicans Beck's producers wanted to interview ran and hid from them.
What exactly is wrong with mentioning this on DU? Anything?
