My time is not that free such that I should be aware of everything a person writes or says. If I were to find time to dig up everything Trump said in the past, I’m sure I could conclude that Trump was not a small government conservative
So again, please direct me to a link that showed us that Shapiro preferred Hillary over Trump even if it meant a left of center judiciary. The onus is really on you to provide the info since you brought it up. Thanks again.
Let’s talk about you quoting Shapiro in post 48 above where he expressed DOUBTS abd SKEPTICISM about Trump’s conservative bonafides.
Let me ask you this... was he justified in his skepticism THEN? I would say YES to that given Trump’s donations to Democrat candidates in the past, given Trump support for the decision in the KELO case where the state of CT used eminent domain to grab private property to build commercial projects, given his being pro-choice in the past.
Was he mistaken? Yes. Did he admit his mistakes? YES. Is he a NeverTrumper TODAY? NO.
Prove to him that you are not a liberal now by your DEEDS and POLICIES and Shapiro’s mind can change.
Ben mind works so fast he can’t relate to regular people. Dines got a quick head too but is in touch with regular folks. I think that is what you are saying
What you said.
I wouldn’t go that far. I find his show annoying at best.
Consultants don’t do work. How long was he at Goodwin Procter?? No sign of it in his self proclaimed bio
Ben is the turd who left Breitbart because Michele Fields lied. He wants to spout about moral compass but has none
He writes for Newsweek
He isn’t anything other than a young Bill Kristin or George Will
I agree, he has a tin conservative ear.
RE: Consultants don’t do work.
I have been in many jobs in my life in the IT industry. Many of these as IT consultant. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
RE: How long was he at Goodwin Procter?? No sign of it in his self proclaimed bio
I believe he worked with them before he embarked on his work as a political pundit
See here (just search for the name, Ben Shapiro ):
The issue you brought is this — did he ever have a job?
My counter question to you is this -— Did he ever sit around and receive welfare from the government, instead of starting his own conservative news and opinion website and write his own books and columns?
If the answer to welfare is NO and the answer to the latter is yes, then he HAS a real job. If you don’t agree,then you have to agree that men like Rush Limbaugh never had real jobs as well.
RE: Ben is the turd who left Breitbart because Michele Fields lied. He wants to spout about moral compass but has none
His opinions are widely circulated through his website Daily Wire and his talk show on radio. Therefore, his moral compass is OPEN for all to see whether you agree with him or not.
RE He writes for Newsweek
SO WHAT? Conservatives can’t write for Newsweek?
RE: He isn’t anything other than a young Bill Kristin or George Will
Unlike Kristol and Will, he isn’t a NeVerTrumper. He said he would vote for Trump in 2020 over any of the 24 Democrats currently running.
Oh yes he is a Never Trumper. He doesn’t give trump credit for anything. He attacks the tariffs even though they are working. He wants us in more wars.
I’ve done consulting too. So what all that is is giving them a work product that confirms bias. It never involves real work
It doesn’t apply to rush, because it’s just rush’s gig. He doesn’t mean it. He is a humble man and does it to drive the left crazy, not to offend conservatives, being offended by rush proves his point that liberalism is miserable existence. Rush remembers where he came from and who he is, which is why he is able to see others as who they are and understand them. No one out there has anywhere near the insight that rush does and sadly Maybe never will.
RE: Oh yes he is a Never Trumper. He doesn’t give trump credit for anything.
1) You have not heard him enough then.
I tune in to Shapiro’s show on drive time going home here in New York.
He gave Trump credit for supporting Israel and moving the embassy to Jerusalem. He gave Trump credit for being firm in the defense of the life of unborn babies, he gave Trump credit when he nominated Neil Gorsuch for the SCOTUS ( just to name three examples ).
2) A NeverTrumper, as I understand it will NEVER vote for Trump under any circumstances. He alredy said he would vote for Trump in 2020 over any of the 24 Democrats currently running.

First:
He does not advocate voting for Hillary.
Second:
He wrote that before the last election. At the time I had many of the same concerns about Trump - which I posted here. I did vote for Trump and have since been extremely happy with most of his positions and actions. I now think Trump is the best president of the last two centuries.
Shapiro has also changed his tune - not as much as me but to a large extent.
So - be honest about Shapiro. You might not like him but lying is what leftists do. There is no need.
This is a pathetic defense of Shapiro. I gave MULTIPLE examples all backed up with sauce. You haven't disputed ANY of my points.
Late to the thread, but.....
Worst Trump impression ever. Sounds like Eric Cartman. Please stop.
