Ben Shapiro Explains in Under Six Minutes Why You Shouldn’t Back Trump (Breitbart)
Breitbart.com ^ | 29 Feb 2016 | BEN SHAPIRO

Posted on 02/29/2016 8:45:52 AM PST by TexasCajun

On Friday, Breitbart News Editor-At-Large and DailyWire.com Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro unleashed a video broadside against 2016 Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.

In less than 24 hours, the video was viewed more than 850,000 times on Facebook and YouTube; it has over 1.4 million views at the time of publication of this article. In the video, Shapiro addresses three groups directly: Evangelical Christians, conservatives, and what he terms the “we want a winner crowd.”

Speaking to Evangelicals, Shapiro details Trump’s personal history with regard to treatment of women particularly. “Have evangelicals ever supported an unrepentant, pro-Planned Parenthood, adulterous strip club owner before?” he asks.

Shapiro then traces Trump’s political positions, which have vacillated wildly over time. “Just two weeks ago, Trump said, ‘I’m very capable of changing to anything I want to change to,'” Shapiro muses. “Is this someone conservatives should trust?”

Finally, Shapiro turns to those impressed by Trump’s acumen at “winning.” He details Trump’s long history of business failures and racking up huge debts, and the fact that his father presented him with his wealth. “Is Trump a big winner?” Shapiro asks. “Or is he a spoiled brat who grew up in the lap of luxury, had his dad sign his checks, and then bragged about how he’s a huge winner?”

As a lawyer, I will point out that the argument about Trump business failures, which always cites that four of his ventures ended at one point in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, is based upon a misunderstanding of how large Builders protect their overall enterprise, by setting up separate corporations for each project. This protects the parent enterprise, and recognizes that unforeseen circumstances can wreck even the best laid plans. Trump's overall success is clear.

As for whether Donald Trump is a Conservative? See Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.

EVERY FReeper can be classified as a troll. All it takes is calling any FReeper a troll and have enough FReepers agree with you...until they forget.

As a non-lawyer observer, I will point out that the way this talking point is framed is not a misunderstanding, but a distortion to favor their viewpoint. I have a very difficult time believing that all of the people who make this point are ignorant of the facts, but rather perceive that they distort the facts to bolster their opinion.

So, basically, you have no skin in the Free Republic game.

And I mean that in more ways than one. :)

“Will any of the other liars honor theirs?”

Your reference to “other liars” indicates you understand Trump’s statements do not bear witness with the truth.

How about this - jeff trolls on us Trumpkins. He has stock lines that he uses.

I've seen his type before, and am trying to match his style to a "departed" freeper or two. :)

You’re the one who threw out the “liar” smear.

So tell me, Skippy, which liar should I vote for?

The tweet war between pro-Trump Milo Yiannopoulos and Shapiro are pretty entertaining.

I don’t recall Trump planning to force Americans to visit strip clubs or planned parenthood establishments.

It’s 2008 all over again - only on OUR side of the center aisle.

The mob will get what the mob wants, and chant all kinds of slogans, empowering their desired king.


Yep there’s no reasoning with the Trump fanboys anymore.

He wants to go after the 1st amendment because he doesn’t like the Washington post? No problem

He campaigns about jobs and immigrants but hires foreigners over Americans? That’s cool.

Makes veiled threats against the Rickets family for the crime of donating money to someone else besides The Donald ? Yay!

Said Hillary would make a great president? Ummmm it’s just dandy

Breitbart has actually been pretty supportive of anti-establishment Trump.

...less Ben Shapiro.

You're in a discussion with someone who will NEVER vote for a GOP nominee, E. Pluribus Unum.

Trump, Cruz, Rubio - he'll never vote for any of those.

Which leaves an open question of who gdani actually votes for...

I mean, it's not exactly a multiple choice question in most presidential races. :)

Don't bother replying, gdani. You outed yourself, so you'll get a big YAAAAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNNN from me. :)

It’s too bad what has happened to the Breitbart website since Breitbart was assassinated.

Nothing but popups, ads, and Trojans, and they do virtually nothing but bash Trump, or anyone who dares to question the GOPe.

That’s not what Breitbart used to be about.

That is an interesting comment. Can you cite the post of which you are speaking?

Jobs for 1,000 illegal Polish aliens don’t count.

That said, Trump generally cut jobs at properties:
