      ben's game here is he is defining "republican figure" to exclude pretty much anyone who wasn't a high-ranking republican lawmaker. 8 years of right-wing media attacking obama as illegitimate—including shapiro himself—doesn't counthttps://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1163548016889851904 …

      Trump was a fringe character for nearly the entirety of the Obama presidency; he wasn't a "Republican figure" until he ran. You can't name a single major elected Republican official during Obama's presidency who challenged the legitimacy of his presidency. https://twitter.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1163488026141569025 …

      "Is Donald Trump the best Republican candidate for president out there? It would be tough to argue otherwise. He's got all the makings of a breakout star; he's got bravado and the cash to back it up." -- Ben Shapiro, 2011.

          Well, considering that Trump won the primary and general, this is some pretty good insight actually, is it not? In 2011, I would never have imagined Trump would win the GOP primary, nonetheless the general election

          I guess it was, but it also completely destroys his argument. Either Trump was a Republican then & Ben's full of shit, or Trump was an outsider & Ben knew the base of the party would respond to a grandiose racist.
