Yeah, well, maybe a diamond in the rough. He needs to knock off the NeverTrump crap and realize he’s in a position to help but it will mean the spotlight is not always on HIM. I always hear a little Glenn Beck in him, but he’s much smarter than Beck. We’ll see if he’s smart enough to figure out which way the wind is blowing.
Shapiro is a pain in the ass but necessary. A convention would have to happen after Trump is reelected. Let the chips fall where they may including the pardoning of Sirhan Sirhan.
What you describe as the person you prefer is an ideologue which is one of the most dangerous people in a republic and part of the reason the county got to the mess it is in in the first place. Ideologues are some of the most dangerous people roaming. Antifa is filled with ideologues. I’d much rather have an intellectual who takes an opposing view to my own and provide me solid reasons to those positions than an ideologue hell bent and driven on an agenda that blindly walks without looking at opposing viewpoints. An ideologue is akin to the child who hold his hands over his ears screaming lalalallala when he doesn’t like to hear something that may trump his dogmatic positions.
You don’t have to figure out which way the wind is blowing. Just have your hand ready to receive an envelope when the Koch Brothers walk by.
The elite need lots of different angles to defeat Trump. Ben Shapiro is the puppet who pretends to be a full-blown “conservative”.
It all sounds good until the day he gives a speech on amnesty. These are tough times for the GOPe. Ryan, Romney, Lee, and Shapiro need to lay low at times and then attack at opportune moments.
