Yes, despite how intelligent I always sound on here, I am woefully unschooled on many aspects of political discourse.

I recently started watching Ben Shapiro videos on YouTube and I've thoroughly enjoyed them.

What are your opinions on him as a conservative voice and do you have any additional viewpoints you would recommend?

They don't have to be conservative. I like watching anything.

Plus, I'm on vacation this week.

ETA: Correction of "addiction" to "additional". I hate stupid mistakes like that.

I like him but during the election he's been very anti-Trump.

So for the past year he's been less interesting to watch/read because it's just anti-Trump talk all the time.

I read his website the daily wire.

He cucked out and bought into the Michelle Fields Hoax.

He's useless. He is trying to get back "in" but we don't want him.

I actually like that aspect about him and he comments on that frequently.

It's the whole "I'm not willing to defend someone just for the sake of defending them because I support him" aspect.

I don't believe he is useless, at least his mindset isn't.

Also, are you not unsettled by your use of the collective "we"?

Ben was asked to come home, and he didn't.

Now the locks have been changed.

It's not that I care that he's anti-Trump, it's that it's consumed him totally.

He was almost certainly the smartest, most articulate #NeverTrump guy in the entire GOPe. He is more valuable as an ally, than an enemy as his heart is in the right place.

Why?

We Trumpkins. The ones who dragged half of the country kicking and screaming towards the Biggest frick You in Human History, which only a week in, is being shown to be the bitter pill this country desperately needed.

We won. We did it. Little Ben can kick rocks. He tried to derail it, so frick him.

This. At this point not much separates him from George Will and the other Cucks.

Bannon fired Shapiro from Breitbart. I have no idea why.

Because of that Bannon and Shapiro don't like each other.

I don't disagree with this being great.

My point is in reference to your statement in the previous post.

Why wouldn't you want him on your side, or as you say "back in"? And do all Trump supporters agree with you?

I like anyone who holds all politicians accountable.

Big fan of Ben. He doesn't cheerlead and seems to be critical if either side deserves it.

I also listen to Adam Carolla. Hillarious.

Shapiro may have had a fling with or a crush on Michelle Fields. His exit from Breitbart coincided with hers.

She lied about Lewandowski, and ran into the open arms of the Leftist media, who were more than happy to spend a week talking about Lewandowski "assaulting" Michelle Fields.

Ben Shapiro took her side, in spite of video evidence showing that she was lying. He made the wrong choice, and became part of NeverTrump.

He can get fricked.

Because he can't be trusted. He sided with an obvious hoaxer and fed the false media narrative in an attempt to derail Trump. Why would you want that "on your side"? Whatever that means.

He's poison.

A noted point, and from a "team" point of view, an obviously noteworthy one.

I still think he is someone who should be courted.

He would actually make an amazing press secretary, as long as you stay honest.
