I don’t know anything about Red State or Erick Erickson, but to disinvite the GOP front runner a few hours before their meeting seems really unfair to the people who paid good money to be there and hear Trump speak.
If you don’t like Trump or don’t like what he says, then don’t vote for him.
But to encourage a civil war within the GOP and conservative circles seems like you’re just playing to the hands of the Rats and other lefties.
And people wonder why I say that the so called ‘conservative media” heroes are as leftist as MSNBC.
Just saw on Twitter:I’ve confirmed last week’s rumor that @EWErickson is leaving @RedState, likely announcement next week http://t.co/qB6v10DcKb
Whatever.
WILL this go down as the famous TRUMP KELLY BLOOD FEUD?
The other candidates should not bother attending. It’s kind of ridiculous to not include the top candidate in the polls. The first event was laughable, without Trump, and it wasn’t because he couldn’t attend because they had video feeds with three who couldn’t make it.
Commiestate is a joke.
When President Harry Truman picked up his “Washington Post” early on December 6, 1950, to read a review of his daughter Margaret Truman’s singing performance, he was livid. Though conceding that Miss Truman was “extremely attractive,” Paul Hume, the “Post’s” music critic, stated bluntly that “Miss Truman cannot sing very well” and “has not improved” over the years. The president wrote the following letter to the 34-year old Hume, whom he compared to the columnist Westbrook Pegler (”a rat,” in Truman’s view).
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Mr Hume:
I’ve just read your lousy review of Margaret’s concert. I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an “eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.”
It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you’ll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
H.S.T.
I would like to see how much of Jeb Bush’s money is going to Townhall (Guy Benson, Katie Pavlich and others there), Redstate (Erickson), along with the usual fellows like Byron York and Jonah Goldberg.
Erickson and Megyn Kelly are both cunts of the highest order. That is all.
Erick Erickson is the model cuckservative.
What a wimpy beta.
>> “And you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes blood coming out of her — whatever. “
The true sexism is in the accusation concerning what Trump didn’t say.
“...but I knew it was going to be a big crowd because I get big crowds I get ratings they call me the ratings machine”
Something that is starting to grate on me is the incessant gratuitous self-promotion. Don’t get me wrong, I get a kick out of it most of the time, I enjoy his self confidence, in fact I find it appealing. But is it necessary to bring that up in just about every interaction? It starts to seem empty to me.
His rote responses often are composed of:
Statements about how great he is
Use of the words “disaster” “failure” “tremendous” “phenomenal” “huge”
An insult
I hate to say it, but it seems like a repetitive pattern is setting in and a good part of his charm (for me anyway) is his ability to surprise. I suppose that ‘surprise’ is not sustainable but can he replace it with substance?
Lighten up a bit, Donald! Surprise us by not making everything so personal or bypass an insult and offer a solution to something instead.
Any truth that EE is no longer at RedState?
It’s great for Erickson to work himself up in fake outrage over what he pretends to perceive as a sexist remark when he tweets stuff like this:
“My wife tells me Mary had PMS on the way to Bethlehem. Says the Bible says Mary rode Joseph’s ass all the way there. Hahaha. Wow.”

(Cowardly to crack a vulgar, blasphemous joke while trying to avoid responsibility for it, assigning responsibility for his words to his wife.)
