    Nicholas Grossman DESTROYS Ben Shapiro! That's how you're supposed to say this, right? Regardless, here's my response to Shapiro's critique of Obama's recent speech. Weaknesses in Shapiro's argument help answer a larger question: What happened to the GOP?https://arcdigital.media/ben-shapiro-vs-imaginary-obama-8d3cd903ea41?source=friends_link&sk=451d47b469334abe986b1b8b6618ba5a …

        Of the dozen or so of your articles I have read, this might be the best. These are such important, sane, balanced points that both extremes, left and right, need to heed.

        Did you delete my reply? I was just wondering. You did like it but now I can't find it here. I had hoped that you were not that kind of guy. I am not the most twitter savvy person maybe I am looking in the wrong place for replies to your post. 🤔

        I didn't delete it. (Is it even possible to delete other people's posts?) I liked your comment and tried to reply to it, but got an error. Did you see my response? If not, please remind me of your original point. I remember your account name, but not the exact words you wrote.

        I just looked it up, and the thing you wrote that I saw was an RT of my tweet posting the article (with a comment). I replied to that, and saw your reply to my reply. But if there's something else you wrote to me, I haven't seen it.

        You’re right. Shapiro is preaching to the choir. My concern is that Obama’s presence will motivate a party with white nationalism running through it to show up at the polls in higher numbers than otherwise.

        Replying to @larryhanover

        That's possible. But I don't know how many Republicans weren't going to vote this November and now will because Obama's back in the news. Is it more or less than the number of Democrats who weren't going to vote and now will due to Obama's encouragement?

        Only one way to find out for sure how elections will be affected. I think the Dems are angry enough about Trump to come out regardless. I don’t think Obama helps their turnout. But he might bump up Republicans’.

        I really liked your article. One thing that has always driven me nuts is people claiming Obama is a socialist. I think it's one of the reasons young people say they like socialism. They like Obama & people call him a socialist therefore socialism is great.

        That's a really straightforward point, and I think you're probably right. Of course, I'd prefer if everyone formed their opinions based on careful review of the ideas, rather than because of what politicians they don't like say. But I agree it shapes views.

        I'd prefer your way too. Unfortunately people don't always take the time to review ideas.

        "Anyone who dislikes Obama can read Shapiro’s piece and feel better — especially if they were experiencing some cognitive dissonance after seeing Obama’s public speaking juxtaposed with Trump’s."

        Nice try! But you didn’t destroy him . Wanna try??? Ask @benshapiro for a debate! I would love to see how you ‘ll manage. Now seriously- The real problem is - All you- Americans have an imaginary Obama in your heads .

        You clearly didn’t read the article - Nicholas critiques this obsession with “owning” each other as part of our toxic political culture.

        Goldwater happened, ever since Barry Goldwater won the Deep South in 1964 republicans noticed that they could pick up dissatisfied white southern democrats and so they targeted them for decades. What’s happening now is just the fruits of that harvest
