Glenn Beck spoke recently with Fox News about his vision of a doomsday scenario. No, this apocalypse had nothing to do with Islamists capturing Megiddo and starting a world war with Rome and Jerusalem, nor did this Armageddon include either Rosemary’s progeny or the trial lawyer Al Pacino. Beck’s revelation of catastrophe was instead based on this great nightmare: a 2016 presidential election pitting Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump. If this comes to pass, Beck warned, the Republican party will lose forty-nine states, thus spelling the end of the Grand Old Party. (He neglected to mention which state would remain immune Mrs. Clinton’s “charms.”)
