What ever happened to Little Ben Shapiro? The Daily Wire’s Ben used to be one of my conservative idols, battling against the name-calling, irrational social justice warriors and dropping conservative truth bombs. I looked up to him and believed in what he was doing. Not any more! Anyone who follows internet drama as closely as I do will have seen the change in Ben’s behavior. He used to be cool and sassy. People my age could relate to him. But he seems to have joined the anti-Trump Establishment conservative ranks and lost so much of what made him special to his younger audience. Sad!

They are not conservatives. They are purchased operatives of the Bush Crime Family—as is Cruz.
Trump is the conservative, because he wants to conserve the United States in existence.
I judge who’s a conservative on their principles, not on whether or not they endorse a particular candidate. Politics is meaningless. Principles are everything.
You mistake careerism for conservatism. Shapiro is a chattering class attention ho. Nothing more, nothing less.
Andrew Breitbart threw a dinner for me in LA about four years ago to introduce my work to the “Friends of Abe”-— about 12 people were there including Shapiro.
He has become nothing more that a TrumpTroll, posting every negative factoid he can, every day, about Trump.
What a fall.
Breitbart was just a career move for the slimy little punk.
By the way I have you book, “Patriots History of the United States.”
It was a great read. It was very informative.
Shapiro always struck me as a deceitful backstabber with low self-esteem.
Ben lost badly.
No, Deace, Shapiro and Cruz are not working for the Bush family. You can’t get away with making baseless assertions with no facts to back them up.
Conserving the United States? That is an utterly and totally laughable definition of conservatism, the kind of answer you make up on the spot on your final exam because you never read the material.
I’ll take a career conservative over a career liberal any day.
He’s been a deceitful backstabber to liberals, much like James O’Keefe. Which makes them both honorable men.
I’ll take a career conservative over a career liberal any day.
Sorry, a careerist gum flapper like Shapiro isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit.
You may be on to something there.
Thank you. Our follow up “Patriot’s History of the Modern World” in 2 volumes is every bit as good as a history of the whole world since 1896.
Nope. Not Shapiro. Even his friends tell me he has always been a SJW in drag, looking to be victimized. He is one of the most petty people I have seen on Twitter, while Levin is just angry.
“Conservatism” is becoming a shield to hide behind for many, rather than a philosophy of advancing American Exceptionalism.
Since Trump is the nominee, NO conservative can actively attack him, which is the exact same as helping Cankles, and still even pretend to be conservative.
Finally a competitor to the Hitler rants videos.
Conservatism doesn’t require keeping other countries down to keep ourselves up. A rising tide can lift all boats. The greatest compliment to America is when other countries follow in our footsteps with capitalism, free markets and democracy and see similar success stories.
Never seen that before, it was great. Thanks.
If every single conservative in the country became a cheerleader for Trump, without demanding concessions or conditions, he would have a blank check to do whatever he wants. We’re better off having a segment of vocal hard-liners pushing him to the right.
We need great speakers, writers, thinkers, spokespeople and publishers on the right. I’m happy for anyone who can make a living devoting their full-time effort to that cause. If every one of those roles was occupied by leftists, how would we be better off?
I agree, we heed to work to ensure that his policies are conservative, but more important, pro-American. Not sure so-called free trade and reckless interventionism that Shapiro and Max Boot and Jonah Goldberg support are very pro-American. And if those are “conservative” positions, maybe I’m not one anymore.
But don’t be fooled: Shapiro, Guy Benson and these other toads have no interest in pushing Trump to the right. They are PERSONALLY threatened by him and think they can be simultaneously anti-Trump and anti-Clinton. Nope.
