Erick Erickson is a shill for losers and has spent the last year with all of Washington running Trump into the ground as everything from a madman to a demonic figure from one of the levels of hell itself. NO OTHER republican candidate has come even close to being attacked 24/7/365 like that.

And Erickson wants us to look at Trump’s “data”.

He continues being on the wrong side of clear thinking, because he knows his gravy train is coming to an end.

He is also on the wrong side of “data” still. The ONLY candidate with a mathematical chance of securing the nomination is Donald Trump.

I fully expect Erickson to come out in support of Clinton.

That will tell us where he has actually been all these years and who he has actually supported....along with his other pals in shilldom.

His blog is appropriately name: Red State. In Russian ‘Pravda”. Erik is a jerk.

Polling for the national election at this point is rather iffy. I think Trump can beat Hillary because the general level of discontent amongst the so-called “moderates” is at an all-time high. Hillary has a firm foundation of around 30 percent or so, and unless the center breaks hugely for her I don’t think she’s got a prayer of winning, and I don’t think the center is going to break hugely for her. Just my opinion.

To the author: It ain't just Republicans.

Yeah, the Children of the Bern were probably PLEASED AS PUNCH at the way the Clinton campaign stole Missouri out from under Bernie.

The dumb bee-yotch should have just let it go. But, NOOOOO - her campaign just had to play the "late Kansas City precincts" card. To show Bernie what's what.

Shoit like that is going to backfire on her. He'll end up running third party, and the Children will zealously go with him.

Erik Erickson is trying to start a third party in 2016 to assure that the election is won by the Democrats.

That fact explains most of what he says.

MNJohnnie...you are absolutely correct.
I was previously just a modest Donald Trump supporter and simultaneously willing to hear virtually all Republican approaches and ideas on how to improve our country.
As attacks against him have escalated it has become clear he is the clearest voice for decent hard-working Americans. I am all-in for Donald Trump.

Is this the Erick Erickson we're talking about?

“His blog is appropriately name: Red State.”

It was never his blog. He just worked there. They fired him in January. Since then he has become more and more desperate and deranged.

He is currently trying to create a third party to take votes away from Republicans and assure the Democrats win.

Legal Hispanics tend to resent illegal ones. The illegals and legals coming the last two decades are of a different type than those previously.

I hear the disdain expressed often in Arizona.

Good post, kiryandil.
It would actually be patriotic for Bernie to run third-party to decisively pull the rug out from under Hillary.
Bernie is a nutty old Socialist and all, yet he is not a vicious liar like her.

Yep that is him. GOPE AstroTurf pretending to be a “Grass roots Religious Conservative”.

He went right from Rubio cheerleader to 3rd party advocate while Ted Cruz is exactly everything Erickson CLAIMS to stand for.

We can only dream he'd do that. A third party from him would be more than fun to watch, it would be devastating to the dems.

The evidence I see: He never says a peep about any dishonesty done against him or his candidacy. He never wants to talk about her obvious sliminess, and how the rest of the party elites want to walk her in. I'm not certain he even said a word about winning New Hampshire decisively, and getting an incredibly low number of delegates. Iowa, where he clearly got shafted by dishonest tricks.

In all of this, he appears to be there for the ride, not really wanting to win, just hanging in there like a good foot soldier.

I think he's going to give in graciously, endorse her, and get some kind of big pay day for keeping the youngsters on the plantation.

Yes it is. Read about in in Wiki but hadn't seen the proof. Thanks.

Great, more advice from a TDS sufferer who wants to go third party.

Ericsson is probably correct.

The ongoing notion that it is somehow illegal to discuss this matter at free republic is absurd.

Trump is not a dictator. We can disagree and criticize his viability.

The data Erickson forgets is that no other candidate can get 1237 delegates except Trump.

He ignores that he and his media hatchetmen have been attacking Trump around the clock for months and themselves creating this negative image.

And he ignores that at this point prior to the election, Reagan was just as badly down to Carter for EXACTLY the same reason....his own side was tearing him down.

Erickson is a hypocrite. Since he far less skilled than most other “conservative talking heads” his gravy train will be one of the first that grinds to a halt.

According to the data they would both beat Hillary.

I wonder how well Cruz would do if the media attacked him like they have attacked Trump? Trump has been attacked by everyone - the government, including POTUS & the Pentagon, Congress, including Speaker of the House, the Pope, the media... I am impressed how well Trump does in the general election polls.
