Listened to him for a half hour, total swamp creature
A whole lot of Republicans don’t like the smarmy little p****, either.

Total spoogie. I met him at a dinner Andrew Breitbart threw for me to introduce me to Hollywood types back around 2013. ugh.
Well, Benny talks fast, but other than that, he’s not a bother to me.
Cut Shapiro some slack. After all, the mohel cut him short at his brit milah and he is compensating by becoming a big one.
Count me in, I can’t stand him.
Oh yeah, he is GOPe all the way. He’s worthless in my book.
We are still missing the “New” Rush. No one yet even comes close, IMHO.
He’s a phony little twat.
He is solidly conservative on 9/10 issues yet many here hate him more than say AOC.
Same as with Desantis——I just don’t get it.
Never liked him.
He’s the George Will type GOP-e “conservative”
He’ll talk a good game but when the the long knives come out, he’ll stab you in the back.
Oh ?
“Ben Shapiro to vote for Trump in 2020 after 2016 snub, says Dems ‘have lost their f—-ing minds’”— Washington Post
Seeing the attacks on McCarthy,,,, Conservatives demand purity for whatever their pet cause is at the moment. And if that one person or current party doesn’t meet those demands conservatives work to destroy them. They would rather hold out for that pure ideologue than beat the democrats. The democrats are masterful partisans. There is no purity beyond the party. You back the democrats no matter what and they win with ruthless loyalty. Republicans are called the stupid party for a reason.
Can’t stand the guy.
Steven Crowder figured him out in time to prevent becoming his indentured servant.
He learned to speak by listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks
My goodness! Is there anyone who likes him???
I don’t particularly like the guy, but this thread makes me think better of people in politics who don’t go in for backbiting.
Yes, but only because the alternative was to vote Democrat.
I like it when he debates college students. That’s about it.
“His voice drives me nuts.”
He sounded better when he was first on the air—at age 13...
I think Schapiro is at his best in this kind of setting. Daily Wire Backstage
I picked this example nearly at random. I was actually looking for something else I'd seen recently that might resonate a bit more with the FR crowd, but this was published yesterday and it's pretty good.
Beyond the content itself, be sure to note the structure of the presentation. The Daily Wire guys start with a critique of the LeftWorld mindset. That's a good place to begin, and we all do that. But that's not enough. We can't beat something with nothing, and we need to learn to present a constructive , affirmative vision. Here's an example. You can find many more.
If you are not familiar with this format, check out a few before you dismiss Ben Shapiro. This is good stuff. I respect Shapiro for systematically hosting this kind of conversation. I'm going to guess that Andrew Klavan, Candace Owens and Matt Walsh have a bigger cheering section on FR than Schapiro himself -- but the Daily Wire provides a platform for all three. This is about building an ecosystem that provides a platform for conservative voices.
We need more such platforms. This is just one. A lot of good conservative voices have migrated to podcasts and Substack and other platforms that I've not explored. It's good that they find outlets, but we have to find them first and sometimes pay the toll at the subscription counter. Schapiro does have a lot of content behind the Daily Wire+ paywall, but there is still a lot available free on YouTube. And that's a good thing if we want to reach broader audiences.
