It's really a matter of confidence. Whether or not Shapiro believes in what he says is irrelevant. He knows how to speak and will defend his points.

And he uses the gish gallop technique effectively. If you spew bullshit quickly enough, people won't be able to correct what you say.

I would love to see a debate forum that cut each person's mic after a single point. But I doubt any of the people I want to see in such a forum would ever risk participating.
