What he was was a skeptic and there in nothing wrong with that.

I could take his "skepticism" much better if he actually associated it with an occasional datum so we wouldn't have the guess at what he considers "boorish, crude, and silly."

...but at the end of the day he takes the fight right to liberals...

Which doesn't mean a damn thing when your fight is on "principle," but you reverse course on "practical."

I see you are one of those folks who get in a twist about someone being on your side only 80 percent of the time. Reagan had some choice words about that.

And when they give "aid and comfort" to your enemies the other 20 percent, what do you think Reagan would call them?

In case you haven't noticed, this country is NOT in a "disagreement."

I just told you in so many words.

He's validating the Left's "mean girl" tactics by using them, as well as their (lack of) taking responsibility by providing substantive content.

If the Democrats ever got anywhere close to being able to impeach Trump, who do you think they're going to point to on our side for legitimacy and a "bi-partisian" toupee?

Oh, spare me that nonsense. Trump is strong enough to take some critiques from folks who are otherwise allied with him. And the left doesn’t need to run to Ben Shapiro for affirmation of their delusions.

So show me the critique.

critique | kriˈtēk |
noun
a detailed analysis and assessment of something, especially a literary, philosophical, or political theory.

Until then, Shapiro is participating in a "Bork"ing, and YOU'RE defending it as a "disagreement."

Isn’t there a fly somewhere around your house that needs its wings pulled off?

Wow. Comparing Shapiro's comments about Trump's mannerism to Borking. Hyperbole much?

Funny how you skate right by the whole “critique” (your word, not mine) request, and go straight to building a straw man.

I don’t waste time with your attempts at nitpicking. You are aptly demonstrated that you are the kind of person Reagan was addressing with his 80/20 comment. You may have the last nitpick, er, word.

BTW, I didn’t make a comparison; I said he was participating in it.

Funny how asking for the critique you maintain Shapiro's criticism constitutes is "nitpicking" now that you've been called on it.

If such things didn't matter, Trump would have been ignoring the media all this time.
