On Saturday morning at his annual RedState Gathering, one of the nation's most influential conservatives took the stage to deliver news that could change the course of the presidential race.
"If you haven't heard," the radio host and blogger Erick Erickson told his guests, "I disinvited Donald Trump."
Loud cheers filled the ballroom, along with several boos. Conservatives from around the Southeast had converged on the InterContinental Hotel for a two-day conference with scheduled appearances by 10 Republican presidential candidates. As it turned out, they would see only nine.
"Just so you have the context, let's roll the video," Erickson said.
Trump's face appeared on two massive video screens flanking the stage. He'd been asked on CNN about Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, when Fox News host Megyn Kelly pressed him about his history of offensive comments to women. By Trump's reckoning, the questions were evidence of an anti-Trump bias -- and perhaps something else.
"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," he told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever."
After playing the video, Erickson continued his explanation. He said Trump had crossed a line by implying that a female journalist's tough questions were attributable to her menstrual period.
"I don't want my daughter in the room with Donald Trump tonight, so he's not invited," Erickson said. "If our standard-bearer has to resort to that, then we need a new standard-bearer." (more at site)

What a witch hunt!
This Erick guy is giving me a weird feeling, you know like the hair on the back of your neck when you meet someone you don’t like...
He says he’s a friend of Rush’s but I don’t know, I can’t see Rush being a friend to someone like that...
And he has said worse things about women and other people than Trump did the other night....
I wouldn’t doubt that Rupert and company and a bunch of other people got together, kinda like Rupert and Valerie Jarrett did last week for dinner, and plotted something and it went down Thursday night in the debate...but it didn’t work out quite like they thought it would, and it isn’t going to....Trump above all else is smart and deadly....
“Ted knows what he’s doing.”
Except for underestimating the resonance of his personal non-political icebreaker , Donald Trump. As a lot of us have.
Somebody paid him off-— so much that if Red State tanks he dont care. OK bye jerk.
GOP 2016 Contenders Are Courting Erick Erickson, The Anti-Gay Pundit With A “Pattern Of Being Disrespectful To Women”
Numerous Republican presidential candidates are attending the 2015 RedState Gathering hosted by conservative pundit Erick Erickson. Erickson has said males should be “dominant” over females, claimed women should be “at home” while men bring “home the bacon,” labeled Michelle Obama a “marxist harpy wife” and Justice David Souter a “goat fucking child molester,” argued LGBT people are “on the road to hell,” and wondered when Americans would raid legislators’ houses and beat them to “a bloody pulp.”
This guy really sounds like he’s trying to cause a big divide between the GOP party....

Erickson has his eyes on the the prize (i.e. Chamber of Commerce money). A good many causes eventually evolve into vehicles for making their founders rich. Erickson’s Redstate.com has obviously reached that point.
Erick Erickson is a little man who really wants attention and his little stunt made him look very stupid.
Oh, I think he's got that one covered, too.
To be sure it is not incorrect to say the opening of the Fox debate might lead one to believe Meggy was both “out for blood” of the Trump variety as well as had “murder in her eyes”.
I don’t think he invited her.

The kind of demented thinking of employees who are beholding to Salem Media, a Christian Conservative corporation, which includes Redstate, Twitchy, Townhall, Hotair, Human Events . coms.
Seriously wondering if such an organization would want to drive certain candidates away to help more public, stronger, “christian” candidates?
Ted is brilliant but sorry no, no one and I mean no one , not even Donald himself could have predicted the front runner for the GOP at this point in the primary run up.
Guess which other Salem Media dot com outlets were on the attack today, driving discussion of Trump, on Megyn Kelly’s fake period
I wouldn’t want my kids(If I had any) around Erick Erickson, who tweeted years ago about Mary having PMS on her way to Bethlehem..Erickson looks like your typical lard a@@ pervert who sits around whacking off as he watches kiddy porn. Wouldn’t be surprised if you checked his computer and found a bunch of kiddy porn pics
I suspect erikson is a lib plant
