RE: Shapiro has some good conservative ides, but outside that he’s a sissy cuck never Trumper so screw him.
He supported :
* Trump’s move of the embassy to Jerusalem
* Trump’s support of Israel
* The border wall
* Corporate tax cuts but is not especially fond of the individual tax laws
* Neil Gorsuch but was a reluctant about Brett Kavanaugh
How is that being a NeverTrumper?
Can anyone post a link to video of him supporting Hillary?
Can’t listen to that voice...not even his commercials.
Shapiro was NOT for trump in 2016.
He however, admits today that most of his impressions about Trump were wrong ( for instance, he thought Trump was for Planned Parenthood, he now admits that Trump is strong on the pro-life cause ).
That is NOT a NeverTrumper,
Lil’ Ben is a nasty NeverTrumper & emotion driven RINO (at best).
His interview by Bill Maher when both were gleefully calling for impeachment showed his true colors.
At his core, he’s just another leftwing phony.
RE: There does not seem to be any issue about which his position is fixed.
If you listen to him, he DOES have fixed positions — Mostly Conservative, small government, pro-life, strong border, pro-Israel, restrained spending, originalist judges, free trade stances.
That he did not think Trump would be all these in 2016 was his mistake, which he now admits.
The only thing that little prick is doing to media is driving people away from it.

Precisely
RE: Lil’ Ben is a nasty NeverTrumper & emotion driven RINO (at best).
If he were a NeverTrumper, he would be opposing Trump’s policies at every turn. That he supports MOST of Trump’s policies shows that he is NOT a NeverTrumper.
As for his being a leftwing phony, can you show me which policies he supports that are left-wing?
He’s never had a real job. He is just like Bill Kristol and George Will only younger
I agree. That voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Can’t listen at all.
Shapiro is a great asset. I much enjoy his rational style. Invective doesn’t go far with me.
I enjoyed reading about the early days of Rush. I remember the first time I heard him, too. I was driving across the Sf-Oakland bay bridge in the eighties. I was flabbergasted. I went home and told my husband “you would not believe what I just heard.” It was revolutionary. Previously isolated by the “fairness doctrine” I felt as though I had stumbled into reality and it was so enervating.
I don’t listen to the talk shows hardly anymore. They used to be be funnier for one thing. They are VERY repetitive for another. Tons of commercials. But mostly I don’t like feeling like my anger is being stoked all the time.
There is much to be angry about. But my wrath does not accomplish good. I prefer to be informed, and entertained, and to understand, and to be helped in formulating my opinions and arguments. Shapiro does that. So does Jordan Peterson. Dennis Prager (prager u). These are the resources that I go to regularly now.
RE: Over-rated and deeply impressed with himself.
Why does this not apply to Rush Limbaugh, who calls himself “Doctor of Democracy”, the “Maha Rushi”, one who defeats Liberals with “Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair”, “The weapon of Mass Instruction” with “Talent on Loan from God” etc.
I don’t know where this came from, many,MANY see him as an annoying little puke.
A fried once told me that German Shepherds are the very best dog to train. “They are smart enough to outsmart themselves.” He was fond of saying.
Shapiro outsmarts himself by getting tangled in his inner logic and venting his ideological tripe.
Dinesh D’Souza is much better at elucidating liberal positions and knocking them down with historial facts.
His whiny nasel delivery is a channel changer for me.
Ben’s reaction to Notre Dame fire was last straw for me. Started suspecting he didn’t care for Christians a few years back when discussing Syria and general ME policy. After Notre Dame, saw the light, he’s no good.
RE: He’s never had a real job.
Isn’t being a talk show host and writing books and columns a job?
He also practiced law at Goodwin Procter. As of March 2012 he ran an independent legal consultancy firm, Benjamin Shapiro Legal Consulting, in Los Angeles.
If those are not jobs, what are they? At least he isn’t taking money from tax payers.
His speech pattern sounds like a hamster with Tourette’s Syndrome on crack.
