Scripture teaches us that “when pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” (Prov 11:2). During the 2016 election, I was adamantly opposed to Donald Trump. Much of the media cited a piece I wrote in mid-February planting my flag against Trump as one of the major pieces to spark the #NeverTrump movement.
I wrote in that piece that if the GOP went with Trump that the party was not only going to lose the White House, but see devastation down ballot. All the polling showed it. The polling had been right during the primaries. Trump was the one guy consistently ahead in the polls and the one guy who consistently could not beat Hillary. The general election polling showed the same.
I, and the polling, were completely wrong. So were a lot of other people. After the election I wrote that those of us who were so completely wrong about the election should exercise some humility. If we got that much wrong, the odds are we got a lot of other stuff wrong, too. Consequently, I thought the day after the election and still think that we owe Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt.
This does not mean I am now on the Trump team. I still have concerns about Trump. But I see a number of friends and fellow #NeverTrumpers opposed to each and everything Trump does and each and every appointment Trump makes. Anyone in the sphere of the president-elect must be corrupt and crooked. Anyone seeking a job should be shunned. I find that all nonsensical.

Tough sh*t. Eric “Traitor” Ericson is a childish idiot that voted for Hillary. FUEE!
Never heard of Erick Erickson, and what a name?
Aren’t we all so impressed.
Friends with John Johnson and Andy Anderson.
Gee, that’s mighty darn white of him.
He was tired of losing. Now it is time for lots of winning!
Months ago, I posted that within the next couple of years, with the economy rebounding and the country optimistic, these ridiculous never-Trumpers would be saying, “Well, you know, I actually was always a supporter of his...”
It’s already starting!
I stopped reading his crap a long time ago! Who cares what he says or thinks?
Get off my radio station fat boy!
I think he discovered Greenland and became a turncoat Viking?
You do that, Eric, and don’t tell me about it or anything else you do or think.
Erick Erickson tries to speak from the grave. Far too late...he is really, really dead.
I’ve cut him off. Idiot didn’t see what was happening on the ground.
_F_ This guy
we don’t need him, neither does Trump, what does he have that we want? His crappy low rent web page? yea right
Mighty white of you Eric...
Oh, blow your nose, you sound terrible on-air.
Erick Erickson?
Spit* Get um out.
Eric, if you’d STFU, maybe Trump would give YOU a chance...
Maybe....
I grew to really hate this guy, but at least he’s willing to admit that he was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and try to own up to it.
