Ben Shapiro smells too much like a progressive in disguise.

Same goes for Miss Cupp.

Mizz Cupp is not in disguise. She is a progressive.

Agree with you about Ben Shapiro. Something’s not quite right there.

Ben Shapiro is conservative on sexual morality, but pretty much a leftist on other issues.

He is pretty much like a libertarian, except the token issue they are conservative on is fiscal matters.

S.E. Cupp is a libertarian

I think the bigger statement is that even a moderate like Shapiro is considered to be a Nazi by the antifa types and the snowflakes.

You sound a little microaggressed yourself. There’s a difference between critique of a President and down right against him. There are things he says that I too disagree with and the vast majority I do agree with. That doesn’t make him anything but someone expressing opinion and sometimes fact based on observation. People like to classify and fit people into boxes to malign them and marginalize. Ben is no progressive but he also isn’t a slobbering cheerleading worshipper either.

For some that’s an issue

Shapiro and Cupp are examples of fake opposition to the liberal elite. They can criticize some of the PC Left's worst excesses at times, but at day's end they share the left's fundamental assumptions on most issues that matter. It's a matter of tactics more than core beliefs, in other words.

For instance, when President Trump said that the far left was as much to blame for violence in Charlottesville as "white supremacists," Shapiro and Cupp were busy virtue-signaling their outrage like any good liberals would have done.

Doesn’t Shapiro understand his rhetoric is so damaging to the tender little panty waists in Berkeley. They are already having to use Play Dough and coloring books to soothe their poor little disturbed minds

A quote attributed to Ronald Reagan:

“The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally – not a 20 percent traitor.”

Even if his antagonism towards Trump is really childish, the right doesn’t have many people who are as good at taking apart the excesses of the left as Ben Shapiro.

I used to be a fan of S.E. Cupp during her appearances on Red Eye, and figured her to be a "small 'l' libertarian," i.e. fiscally conservative, something of a social liberal.

I heard her for a couple of minutes on some show, and it seems she's a hard-core "never-Trumper."

Very disappointed.
