Conservative pundit and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro blamed former President Donald Trump for Republicans losing momentum ahead of the midterms.
…. In a Twitter thread on Tuesday, Shapiro blasted Republicans who put the focus on Trump despite his unpopularity with independents, who are a crucial electoral demographic. Shapiro said that the problem for Republicans is not just the Supreme Court overturning the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade.
…..
[Little Ben] : “ This means that when Trump is attacked, Republicans immediately return to making him the centerpiece of the conversation – and this harms them electorally, as every poll is now showing.”
[Little Ben] : “.. There is a reason Democrats are eager to keep Trump at the center of the conversation: half of independents say Trump is a major factor in their vote, and they're breaking 4-1 for the Democrats. Republicans shouldn't play that game. If they do, they're cruising for a bruising.”

Yawn another antiTrump kook....
Steve Deace completely dismantled Shapiro’s sentiments yesterday. I find Shapiro to be brilliant at times, and shallow all the time. Sometimes his analysis is insightful, this is not one of those times.
I listen to Shapiro 2-3x a week. Honestly I don’t get the extreme hatred shown here towards him:
Negatives—he is a lukewarm Trump supporter, prefers other Republican candidates
Has a slightly strange voice
positives—
Stands up against communism/socialism
Supporter of free market
For electoral college
For conservative SCOTUS tradition
Hates woke thought
Is conservative
Against trans movement
Pro life
Religious
Anti aboortion and planned parenthood
Wants border control
Anto Fauci and way COVID was handled
Pro Ukraine but neutral about the war
It goes on…

So he puts his feelings about Trump's style ahead of his willingness to defeat the left.
He wants to be a gracious, civilized loser who can say he was nice.
As Kurt Schlicter says, we need warriors like Trump who will stand up and expose the left. People who fight, not people who sit back and cluck like it's a debate in the Bush/Gore campaign.
Benji doesn't understand the difference, because he doesn't want to believe what's in front of his eyes: The left has crossed the Rubicon of evil a long time ago. You can't debate with evil, yet Benji coninues as if he is winning the debate.
He's not.
Would anyone follow him into battle? When I used to listen to talk radio Michael Medved was another softy that was hard to stomach. Would that they were hot or cold.
Kurt was on Fox this am. I am concerned about his blood pressure.
The voting apparatus has yet to be corrected. It’s folly to ‘move on’ until the under belly of the poisonous serpent they call a fair election is fully exposed. No Dominion, no mail in ballots, no barring of republican observers from election sites, no shutting down of the counting while leaky toilets are fixed, no duffle bags carried in to the tally rooms….just sayin
How about you get over your ridiculous obsession and quit bringing him up on threads and in discussions he has nothing to do with? That’s very bizarre and unhealthy behavior.
What you said was factually false.
And I seriously doubt most people - certainly including you - have shown the guts and courage he has by going out and speaking out and sticking to his guns even with it making his life being under threat. Pajama Boy is just a stupid thing to say.
Ben Shapiro? Is that who you are talking about?
You, my friend, are absolutely clueless in relation to this guy.
He’s falling into a trap.
He’s believing the media that are saying suddenly the midterms are going good for the Left.
Yet there is no proof of that.
Never ever take the Media’s word for it.
Make confirmation.
That my friend is being clueless, going directly to the ad hominem, not dealing with what I actully said.
Which was all true.
Shapiro is such a dick frequently
He occupies that tight space between Lincoln Project and somewhat conservative
He’s soft on culture frequently and will mislead on or ignore facts that don’t jibe with his own narrative
Which by the way is often expressed by
“See I’m religious and points to his kippah”
Now I’m not Judaic observant but common sense tells me that’s not enough
It’s a shame he talks very fast
He could do the endings of big pharma radio ads
I listen sometimes and I like Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh on DW

He is a Midget Pajama Boy McConnell Butt Licker.
There are two big reasons the GOP isn’t doing as well as they should, Mitch McConnell and toady McCarthy.
anti-trumper shapiro THINKS he smells weakness, so wakes up and starts attacking trump again ...
Unpopularity with independents
Big deal like they such great things in the past.
Biden winks
Independents = Nutless wonders who never stand for anything.
Got that right
No surprise, he's into NeverTrumping for the long haul.
