FYI...his site has less than one-half the traffic of FR. Why is he is "influential"? He's not. But the GOPe wants us to THINK he is.

I want to beat Hillary Clinton next year. I want to beat her with a Republican who is not just another party apparatchik surrounded by lower level party apparatchiks within the Republican Party.
But I know we cannot beat Hillary Clinton with this level of anger. We won’t be able to draw people to our side and our cause like this.
I get the anger. I do. I am angry at the betrayal and the repeated lies from Washington Republicans who say they love children, but won’t even defund Planned Parenthood.
I get the anger of voters who sent men and women to Washington to fight Obama only to give him a blank check and keep Obamacare funded.
But I don’t get this anger. If this is the anger that flows out of Trump supporters, I do not think it is sustainable. Yet it comes daily. It is poisonous to debate, to democracy, and to the soul itself.
Yes, Republican voters have been betrayed. But I do not think people who are angered at the present President demeaning the integrity of the Presidency will ultimately side with any candidate whose base of support generates rage and hate. I refuse to believe that the people angry at Washington and the GOP have let their anger consume them. But the people in these emails and so many like them have been consumed by anger.
Those of you who see it within the ranks of the candidate you support, and not just with Trump supporters, need to try to channel the anger and draw out the happy warriors.
Conservatives must be happy warriors. Those of faith already know they’re on the winning team and the issues are far larger than the day to day politics of this country.

As Hillary implodes, Trump will quietly slip out the back door; there is no way he wants to throw this election to Bernie Sanders!
This guy thinks the anger is about Trump. When its about his hypocrisy.
erick asks “Can we recalibrate?”
Hope for erick’s own sense of manliness that he isn’t talking about his tampon.
That first sentence sounds sexist to me... maybe we should ban red state...
But I know we cannot beat Hillary Clinton with this level of anger.
Speak for yourself GOPe waterboy. While you are at it go calibrate yourself! ...oops, that sounded angry.
Absolutely!!! This is Rove talk. This is the kind of “don’t want to offend the moderates” bull Shiite that we have heard for umpteen election cycles. It is the stuff that leaves our candidates fighting with a pillow while they are being clubbed to death with a baseball bat.
Anger EE, really!?!? It has been so damn long since this party has had any fight in it that you and your Roveish ilk can’t tell what it means to fight for what you believe in anymore.
Behold, the apology wing of the Republican Party. “ I am really really sorry I am a Republican, please forgive me and vote for me, pretty please like me!!!” You can stick a fork in that Shiite this election cycle.
I don’t see Bernie as anything other than a progressive sideshow.
If Hillary leaves, the Chicago Mob will install SlowJoe or Squaw Warren.
Fiorina is on board The Cheap Labor Express
That first sentence sounds sexist to me... maybe we should ban red state...
I want Hillary Clinton in PRISON for the crimes she’s committed that would put ME in prison for decades if it were me doing them...
It’s a bit ironic. Trump with the hair bringing down the temple of the GOP and Samson with the hair bringing down the temple of the Philistines.
Precisely.
Just shut up Erick. Just shut up.
So Red State is timidly waving the White Flag, all the while ducking for cover. Those commenters are really letting him have it, firing with both barrels. It’s a rare event when conservatives lose both patience and their temper at once, then tweet about it, albeit anonymously. The last time this happened was during the rise of Sarah Palin. Maybe Eric The Red needs to go on a 10 day vacation, you know, spend more time with his family.
Joe Biden would lose California for them; he is not popular around here.
On the other hand, stationary stores sold out on autograph books a few days ago when Bernie came to town.
West coast is much like upper New England, Socialist loon country.
BYE BYE, I agree.

Trump is not to trusted neither as a candidate a President
Can anyone explain Erickson’s rise? Clearly I think he’s a turd but in all honesty I don’t get his success. He’s a lousy writer, and comes off as not very bright on the radio and TV.
If Hillary leaves, the Chicago Mob will install SlowJoe or Squaw Warren.
I don’t see that happening. I don’t see Hillary going all the way either.
There is still plenty of time for some obama like person to get into the race. My guess is an hispanic women in order to put forth the big lie ‘deporting illegals’ ( dem voters ) is racist.
