When did Erickson become a Conservative? He is establishment at best.

One of the anti-Trump tools is to take the claim the mantle of "conservative," whatever that means is up to the listener. No surprise that Erickson would not support Trump under any party, and I figure Trump will not ever get the support of a good fraction of both social conservatives and party faithful. stands to reason. The social cons think the president sets social policy; and the party faithful are protecting their gravy train, status quo. Change is generally uncomfortable.

Agreed. Listening to Erickson rage on his radio show about called “Establishment” made me laugh. I also laugh that he thinks “Conservatives” will stay home if Trump wins.

Check the voter outcomes in SC, IA, NV and SC. Trump is competitive in getting votes even from the voters who call themselves “Very Conservative”.

BRAY - you will need to define YOUR version of Conservative, as all here can agree (maybe not) that THE DONALD is not a conservative
