tl;dr: Bill spews every anti-Trump soundbite to a guy who is by no means Trump's biggest fan, and he still flops on all of them.

That's 100% fine for him to say. Another supreme court pick would be way more disastrous.

I actually agree with Mal for once. Yeah, Bill isn't a jackass, but he definitely interrupts a lot. I still like the guy though. He is willing to have that kind of an opposing interaction. Few do that. Very few.

I think the problem with Bill here is the same as with the other "Never Trumpers." While there are plenty of things to criticize Trump over, there are also things he's done well. Ben is able to properly make that distinction in this clip, whereas Bill relies on emotional arguments and refuses to take a more balanced view like Ben does. It makes Bill seem like the weaker of the two in this exchange (and rightly so).


I disagree with Bill on where the civility needs to start "first." Playing "well they started" it is going to get us nowhere, it's not like it's a game where everyone is keeping a tally on who did what uncivilized act, and when. The modern person sure isn't', they're just reactionary and fueling their own tribalism.

I think Ben handled himself well here. Bill was interrupting, so that kind of annoyed me. But this has to be one of the more "accepting" Democratic platforms he could go on, compared to what he's used to getting.

Shapiro says he thinks Trump has caused irreparable harm to society but will vote for Trump in 2020 because that harm has already happened so it can't possibly get worse

if you thought Maher's comment about hoping there is a recession was bad, you'd better be equally outraged at this stupidity.

Well he's correct, Trump isn't getting more bombastic with time. He's just as crazily bombastic as he was 3 years ago

I love Maher's show and usually think he does great interviews w/ conservatives, but this interview was terrible. It was like they barely talked to each other, more like they both just monologued their viewpoints without engaging the other guy.

Also Shapiro really needs to get into the habit of drinking liquor and smoking cigs to roughen his voice up a little, it's unreal how annoying it is

Conversation was fine, it just seems like Maher initially thought Shapiro was a blind Trump supporter, like Mal_Fet for example.

I do like that Shapiro sees the complete 180 Republicans have done in regards to some issues. Sometimes the conservative guest is just a complete shill. Like Rick Santorum, Jack Kingston, or a House Republican. Those guests have always been pointless.

This. Ben also just kept talking to stop Bill from making whatever comment he was trying to make so that Bill couldn't really get anywhere.
