Dang. I was OK with him until just now.
I respect his intellect, but he espouses a losing brand of politics. He strikes me as a younger, religious version of Charles Krauthammer.
Same here. I was willing to give the NeverTrumpers about a 3 month grace period after the election to be won over. But here we are 18 months later, and Donald Trump has done so much that was on every conservative's agenda, from ANWR to TPP to tax cut to Paris Accords to judges to Israeli embassy to dealing with the UN and NATO to North Korea... how can any conservative still dislike him?
Moreover, if he has any awareness of how us Normals feel, he knows WE LOVE TRUMP! So how can he advocate to take away a President we love? I feel like a five year old with a beloved teddy bear that someone is trying to pull out of my hands. I feel active hostility now. I've watched Ben Shapiro's career for years, since he was still a teenage boy wonder writing for Townhall, and applauded him. I went to see him when he spoke in Beverly Hills a few years ago. But now? I'm so disappointed in him. What can be motivating him but personal animus?
