He was pretty vocally against the Bush Administration's torture program.
He named his campaign bus "The Straight Talk Express." That's pretty much the reason. Blame our gullible media on that one.

Did they get that from Guiliani raving about how Beyonce wants to murder every police officer in the country?

Fine. She prepared well and had her talking points down. Asked McCain why this was a step too far but not mocking disabled reporters. McCain stumbled into "I supported Trump having nukes because he was the party nominee" which played 100% into Ann's hands.
Gif of the election, wow.

Let's just pretend I don't know anything about a Hey Arnold movie.
Actually, let's pretend I know exactly what everyone is talking about and moveon.org.
Damn. Did you make this?
Could be helped by the rat thing that sat next to Jabba being Billy Bush. Otherwise A+

Is that an actual Trump quote?

Yup. It was in the "grab them by the pussy" video.

McCain actually did go against the Republican party a few times. One of his important bills was about protecting the climate. McCain-Feingold was a landmark campaign finance legislation. He also sponsored the immigration reform bill. All three bills are absolutely unthinkable in today's GOP (even though 2 of the above failed, but the point is he stood for them). He also always advocated against interrogation/torture.
But in 2008, when he was down on his luck in a bar somewhere in Flagstaff, Arizona, he met the devil and wrote his name in his book in exchange for a second life in his campaign. Thus, McCain lost his soul forever and unleashed upon the world a vile menace that till today linger the effects of his decision in the form of Trump's supporters.

That's was his plan all along. To sacrifice his empire in order to live on as a meme.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
It's actually inaccurate. They forgot to add the rattle of a box of Tictacs. But otherwise that's the exact quote.
The answer to this is always yes

I didn't watch the video. Didn't want to subject myself to it.
All I knew was "Grab the pussy" line.

The implication is that since the fake email was never reported by any news agency outside of Russia, that essentially the Russians likely handed Trump the story saying it was fact and he repeated it as fact at his rally. If you wanted to play a convoluted game of connect the dots you could say this proves that's he's Putin's puppet. At least it could be spun that way.

I cannot figure out Glenn Beck's long con here. Has to be something because he doesn't have a moral or ethical bone in his body.
am I in an alternate universe?
Did he just completely change or something? He used to be so terrible.
His infrequent appearances on Don Lemon over the past little while have been surprisingly coherent and thoughtful.

When Glenn Beck has the moral high ground on other Republicans something has seriously gone wrong...
I just don't have anything to say
Yep, this is going in the OP.

The first thing I remember Beck reversing on was a year or two ago when he admitted that the invasion of Iraq might've been a bad idea. Of course he phrased it as "The liberals were right all along, these people didn't want freedom."
Maybe the collapse of his internal narrative has just snowballed since then.

My theory is because his media venture is going in the toilet, he can drop the facade and just be a human again.

Glenn Beck has been railing against Trump for a while. The pepes hate him on r/The_Donald. But I don't understand the play either. He is the father of teaparty movement. He helped cultivate it, nurture it, and bring it to life in the form of that giant rally ("restore our honor") he did which Jon Stewart countered with "Rally to restore sanity".
