Yep.
LOL...how old are you that you don’t think 34 years old is young? My son will be 36 this September. Heck - I’m soon to be 62 and I feel like I just grew up in the last two years. I was skeptical about Trump at first but I absolutely adore him as president now.
I would too.
That seems like something that would suit her.
I have no idea why people seem to swoon all over her.
Frankly, none of the women on Fox do a thing for me in terms of their analytic skills.
Frankly, Ben Shapiro's skepticism about North Korea is shared by many conservatives. I'd like to see more positivity from Ben, because what the President has done here is highly significant and commendable—but that's not really his personality.
Ben Shapiro actually has a very sharp mind, and he's certainly no Leftist. Furthermore, he has been supportive of President Trump numerous times in the past year and a half, and can no longer be considered "anti-Trump", despite his sentiments during the 2016 election cycle and regarding North Korea. Like many conservatives in the #NeverTrump crowd, Shapiro is gradually coming to the realization that Donald J. Trump is a bona fide leader...

.... very true.
Yes, he needs to mature. He has a habit of calling names (So-and-so "is a garbage human being"). He also misuses the word "legitimately" to mean "actually."
I think one of the reasons I like him is the same reason I liked Rush Limbaugh when I first heard him in the early 90’s. I was hearing someone that agreed with me. And with Ben, it’s that he not only agrees, but was bringing up issues I’ve only heard me bring up before - and he even used the same arguments as foundational causes/reasons. In fact, I see him as me, but he’s quicker with the raw facts without sitting at a computer when he talks.
I’ve watched virtually every Shapiro video on youtube (I can listen to them in my car on my long commute). I have yet to hear him say a single thing I disagree with. He and I even changed from disliking to liking trump, though I did it faster. And we have the exact same position and history on legalizing marijuana.
You two and little Ben are just too nuanced for the rest of us to appreciate.
My initial exposure to him was right before and during the 2016 campaign on the morning show in Los Angeles. I heard him guarantee no way Trump would win and then listened to him descend in to fits of rage daily getting worse as the campaign went on and Donald Trump progressively secured the nomination. First impressions I suppose. I just found him super annoying and humorless, he obviously is a sharp guy ;however, not my cup of tea. Thank you for you thoughtful response.
I actually agree with your perspective. The main thing I like about him is in his live speeches where he eviscerates the lefties that try to take him on.
I think he and I both had the same problem(s) with Trump before the election. I used to say that if trump won, the good news would be that Hillary lost, and the bad news would be that Trump won. I saw trump as a liar that was a chameleon and he could not be trusted. He was a crap shoot.
Turns out that we hit the jackpot. It took Ben a few months longer to figure this out than it did me. The difference between Ben and me is that Ben still thinks Trump is a liar, etc. (and he’s technically right), but my take is this: Ignore what trump says, and focus on what he does. He’s more conservative than Reagan, and whether he does it intentionally or not, the “roughness” of social graces is an effective tool he’s learned to exploit expertly.
I think Ben likes what Trump is doing, but I suspect Ben thinks Trump is mostly just lucky.
And yeah, I don’t think Ben shows much of a sense of humor. People rarely win a battle of words with him, but I suspect that when they do, he doesn’t take it very well.
