Erick Erickson sold his soul to Trump, then he financed the transaction

This is the opening sentence in an article posted by the man who claims he originated the #NeverTrump movement — editor of The Resurgent and host of a daily radio show on WSB in Atlanta, Georgia, Erick Erickson.
Back in February, Erickson endorsed Trump for 2020 even though he still had “concerns†about Trump and struggled with the NY Liberal’s “character issue.†Still, Erickson gave his endorsement because “no president is perfect,†Trump “is who he is,†and “what the other side offers†is worse.
In other words, Erickson decided to play the Republican/Democrat binary game and to vote for the lesser of two evils — the same game that gave us Trump in 2016 in the first place.
Of course, Erickson is free to support Trump if he chooses. He wouldn’t be the first so-called conservative in the media to trade his convictions for political and personal convenience. Mark Levin and Glenn Beck raised the bar in that department when they created the BlazeTV pro-Trump Echo chamber, not to mention big-talker sellouts (H/T Shannon Joy) like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.â€
