Is that suppose to say GOOD-BYE Red State?

Eric Ericson has been exposed this election cycle. The GOP is having a civil war, perhaps with more than two factions.

But he's not much of a writer, so I think his future has been badly diminished. It might be interesting to write a analysis of the Trump vs. Cruz split and what compelled Palin to side with one of the sides. This article reads like it was written by a 16 year old, though. Mostly invective.

There are many better blogs out there. RedState was sort of an aggregation blog, but now that it's weighed in so heavily on one side of the civil war it's lost the impartiality needed in that role. And, because it's so badly written, it's not really ever going to be "must read" material, like some of the higher quality authors out there (Victor Davis Hansen, Mark Steyn).

So, the Trump campaign has pretty much imploded RedState. I don't think we'll see Eric Ericson on This Week anymore. He has made it there a time or two, but his 15 minutes of fame are over.

And of course, he's been savagely lampooned by the Alt-right. And, he doesn't get it.

He really is a sort of sad figure in American politics at this point.
