re: Anyone noticed how Libs accuse Ben Shapiro of making strawman arguments?

Look old man. I've been around long enough to remember when you were close to voting for HRC over Trump, so don't come around here preaching.

Well hello there - but I absolutely MUST refute that statement about voting for HRC - nothing I have ever said could come close to being interpreted like that.

I have made no effort to disguise my contempt for Trump during the 16 primary season - and I have filled this forum with mea culpas ever since. But since you brought the topic up, I'll go there once again. Yes, for about a week after Cruz was defeated in the primary I was nearly as depressed as I am now with the *defeat* of Trump - I interpreted that out outcome as the initiation of the dystopia that we are entering now. And I blamed it all on Trump for jumping into a political process he didn't understand nor (as I believed then) had a chance to actually win a general election against the known DEM election machine. I did not think he was serious - nor that he had a chance of winning.

You will note that I never disagreed with his agenda items = border security - trade - national security - economics - etc. Not ONE item did I disagree with === it was all about ELECTABILITY with me.

So - in the hours (maybe a day or so) I wallowed in despair and made perhaps one post indicating that I may not even vote - not one time did I ever entertain the idea of actually voting for the devil incarnate HRC.

I fully supported him during the rest of the campaign season - although publicly gnashing my teeth at some of his ad lib goofups.

Nobody was more ecstatic that I when he won in a landslide and I slobbered all over this forum with my mea culpas for a while.

Once again - I loathed him during the primary campaign - I would crawl naked over broken glass to support him now

It was a simple question. Just one word.

It was snark, and it was in response to a fairly straightforward statement, which leads me to believe that it was uttered in ignorance that you're unwilling to cure, or stupidity, neither of which is very flattering.

Or it was simply a one word question that you have no answer for.

My answer would be a repetition of the statement that you questioned. You just didn't like the allegation. That's fine.

If you debated Shapiro you would be so rattled 45 seconds in you would look like Eric Swalwell in one of those debates with Tucker Carlson

Why is it that he has a permanent boot shaped divot in his forehead from whenever he tries his schtick against the foreign press?
