Who is Erik? I honestly never heard of him.
He's no Rush or Levin....but he did have every candidate desperately wanting to be at his event over the weekend, including Trump, who was clearly ticked off by the snub. I'm not an EE fan, and I do not support the snub at all, but to say he's insignificant in the big picture is just not accurate.
He occasionally subs for Rush which sends his regular listeners running screaming to switch off the radio. Very. Bad. Guest. Host. And doubling down of the Titan of Radio is not a very good idea, either. And Levin will chew him up and spit him out all over his bunker.
