And she’s another reality tv cast off like our president.

There is nothing original to his intellect, he comes from a line of similar mainstream commentators with little historical awareness except for the ones that are common talking points for the MIC.

He talks fast, sure. But he is just a new package for the same old content this country has been sold for decades.
That is some hard truth since I really like Shapiro. IMO, he is the best debater in the country right now. As others pointed out he does his homework and is prepared and he can really bring it. I like listening to him and have watched a few videos of debates and speeches. Still I keep it in the back of my mind that he is a neo con and that is the only thing I dislike about him.

Not impressed by a man who doesn’t pay back loans, hires people and doesn’t pay them, has a multitude of bankruptcies, cheats, lies and cons people. But thanks for playing.

I don't like Lahren's style of speaking, she is too shrill and militant.

I find his voice irritating and him a little smug at times but he's a clever debater.

My oldest is like Shapiro. Don't get into a debate with him because a) he's done his research and only will debate when he is thoroughly informed; b) they have the verbage to talk just about anyone under the table and c) they are relentless and will win at all costs. lol

Tomi Lahren is 25 years old. How did she somehow become one of the most popular talking heads for the right?

She's easy to look at, I'll give her that. But what does she know about the real world? And what experience does she have in politics to where millions tune in/listen to what she has to say? She is only three years removed from college.

Ben Shapiro is very intelligent and knows politics, but he's an *******.

They're both tools in my book.

That's his claim. As with his revenue, it's not substantiated. He claimed to be the biggest employer in NJ (known lie) and then all his businesss there refused to disclose employment numbers.

His offices in NYC have a couple dozen people. Only a dozen of his "20,000" employees gave $200 or more to his campaign.

Out of whatever number it really is, how many are imported foreign help?

So his company isn’t big enough now ? Which one is it ? That’s funny.

Did you know Berkshire Hathaway HQ only has a couple dozen employees too in Omaha? Yet their businesses employ hundreds of thousands .

Having a lot of executives isn’t a sign of a successful well run company .


“That included just 25 people at Berkshire's headquarters office -- a testament to Buffett's decentralized management structure, which entrusts business unit leaders to make the best possible decisions with minimal bureaucracy.“

Here’s an article about the Trump Organization from CNN since some here will only believe something if it’s on CNN

#48 largest private company in the country .
