I Must Defend Donald Trump on This
Erick on the radio ^ | 12/7/2015 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 12/08/2015 10:44:50 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

What an interesting position I find myself in. I uninvited Donald Trump from the RedState Gathering and spent nearly a month unable to let my kids check our mailbox at home for fear of them finding God knows what.

And while I agree with my friend Russell Moore on the merits of Donald Trump's proposal to bar muslims from entering the United States, including muslim America citizens currently outside the country, I feel compelled to defend Donald Trump from the reaction to his proposal by many of my other friends.

The rush to condemn Donald Trump feels more like a "finally we can take him out" surge than a serious consideration of his proposal. You may very well find his proposal unserious, but there are a few million Americans who do not. They are not laboring under distinctions of constitutionalism and values. They see an American President willing to curtail the second amendment without due process and have responded in kind.

For the entirety of the 2016 election season so far, Donald Trump has given voice to a growing segment of the American population who feels completely ignored by Washington politicians of both parties and who think the country is deteriorating with both the knowledge and consent of Washington politicians from both parties. The only reason issues like immigration are being discussed right now is because Trump forced them to be discussed.

YES IT DOES... liberal elites and GOPe are jumpin' on the bandwagon...

They{Americans} see an American President willing to curtail the second amendment without due process and have responded in kind.

Odd how so few in the MSM 'caught' what Obama was attempting to do...

That said, hats off to Erick Erickson ... he is his own man...

The sooner we recognize Islam as the political movement that it IS, the better off we will be.

TRUTH!

We are seeing the sudden implosion of the GOPEE/Democrat/media COMPLEX, and a last gasp. You know how crazy people can get when they know they’re going down.

God be with TRUMP through this fire storm, and those of us bearing him up. They are after us too, I know that.

Trump should put a bounty on Al Bahgdadi’s head—a Million dollars or more! He’s like Hitler or Tojo. He is the enemy. We shoud make it a national policy kill this evil man. He even killed a US citizen after making her his sex slave (after a sham marriage). He must go to Allah and explain himself. I bet even Allah wiyld send him to Hell.

"Erickson lost a lot when he went against Trump. He is begging back into the Trump tent!"


I was surprised when Erickson recently filled in again for Rush, after Erickson's nonsense about Trump on an earlier show, and I am surprised again to hear that Erickson is now changing his tune about Trump.

When I heard he was going to be the guest host for Limbaugh again after that earlier stuff, I just turned that Limbaugh show off for that whole day.

I wonder if Limbaugh talked some sense into Erickson at some point concerning Donald Trump.

Erickson’s audience must have taken a huge hit and he must have realized either he changes his views or goes out of business.

That’s how media loyalties go.
