In order to gain any credibility Shapiro needs to have indepth discussions and debates with people who actually know about economic, foreign policy, healthcare and a range of other subjects and not a bunch of college undergraduates.
Shapiro substitutes glibness for substance in a lot of his discourse. Recently he got taken apart in an interview with the BBC's Andrew Neil - because Shapiro didn't do his homework, and perhaps thought he could do the same routine he does with young undergraduates.
As far as right wing media personalities go, I like Ben. He's something of a condescending twit, but he has fairly well though out arguments and doesn't rely on fear mongering, misinformation, or the hate train to get his message across. He seems like a decent human being at his core, which is a lot more than I can say about most right wing media personalities.
Agreed. And he's prepared to admit when he's wrong. A rare quality these days.

No he doesn't. That's what the uninformed say in order to deflect from the fact their big government policies fail.

No he didn't. Shapiro lashed out at what he thought was a silly question. It was not about the actual policy. Not that you care about the truth.

Except he doesn't do that. If one takes an HONEST approach and looks at the plethora of videos posted over his Q and A secessions its easy to see you made this up.
