Eric Erickson like Bill Kristol has become irrelevant and neither should have any kind of public platform that pays them a fee of any kind for their opinions. .
It's a fool's errand. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
The only reason either of those people get airplay is that is serves the purpose of the MSM to bludgeon Trump.

The Republican versions of Joe BiteMe. They were never conservatives, they are Party hacks and “in the club” and know Trump would piss in their crystal punch bowl.
What is going to be interesting is the blood letting if they succeed in getting their candidate Hillary elected. Real conservatives are going to have to make a choice then, stay with the RNC Titanic or take to the life boats. People like Pence, Sessions, Palin are going to have to make some bold decisions, changing the Party from within is no longer a viable option considering what the powers who made this mess are still in charge. Only a mass exodus by the the liberal infestation or conservatives will cause a change.
