Trump will bash each & every candidate up & down. That is what he does. TBF Aug 3 #39

Hasn't Shapiro also offered criticism of Netanyahu? XorXor Aug 3 #38

Yes he has...it is posted somewhere some don't want him because he is Jewish...has to be Demsrule86 Aug 3 #66

That's simply not true. Shapiro has been more outspoken on Israel/Gaza than the others. Sky Jewels Aug 3 #87

This is not convincing...I would hope the governor would have not support Hamas terrorists...and that is why I have no Demsrule86 Aug 3 #88

No he hasn't...that is just BS. He was a volunteer. I don't care what he did in college. God forbid some of my exploits Demsrule86 Aug 3 #89
