...did he? I don't remember him making many of those points, but feel free show me a source.

Regardless, he was clearly very against Trump before the election and came to change his mind as the presidency the circling around Trump by the GOP after Trump's win progressed.
FTFY

Ben quit Breitbart over Trump. Sure, it ended up way better for him in the end, but he couldn't have known that at the time. He was also publicly never Trump when his readers and followers were overwhelmingly Trump fans. So unlike most pundits, he actually has a track record of going against his audience based on his principles.

Don't get me wrong, I loathe the hypocrisy and garbage that goes along with being a pundit, including Ben's. I also hate how he is viewed as some sort of gaon and role model by many in our community. But criticizing him for changing his mind about voting pragmatically for Trump in 2020 when he has explained why at length is making the exact opposite point about him you're trying to make.

I don't listen to Ben, I just follow him on Twitter, and even that's enough for me to know why he changed his mind.

Compare that to the never Trump world who refuses to change their opinions on Trump and have praised every Democrat policy and issue that directly contradicts their every opinion until 2016 because of the coverage and fawning they get from the media. *That* is changing your opinion at the expense of principles.
I listened to his show as he progressed towards pro Trump. It was obvious that he was twisting himself into pretzels because he had no choice. He would have no home, and no following.

Haven't seen that segment, but why should anyone be embarrassed that they make money doing what they love?
They were showing him how he should be ashamed of himself for being such a hypocrite, and he blurted out, well at least I sleep on bed made out of cash....

Right, because you listened to him with a completely unbiased open mind, as is evidenced by your ridiculous post that started this whole thing.

He’s referring to Boruch listening to BS with bias suggesting that just because Boruch has bias doesn’t mean BS isn’t full of it.

Doesn't seem like a guy who sold himself out to Trump.
Never vote for him.
Vote for him.
Abandoned him.

Not sure what I would call him?

So you think BS is an independent, interesting take.

No one else changes their minds after being presented different information than they had before?
