Trump 2020? (Erickson)

Quote
I have wobbled back and forth on the idea of supporting President Donald Trump in 2020. I opposed him in 2016 and voted third-party. The candidate I supported, Evan McMullin, has, like so many others, abandoned all his values as his hatred of Trump poisons his conscience. I dare say the worst mistake in my life was not when I climbed a mountain only to remember I was scared of heights, or when I played with a scalpel that nearly cut off my finger as a kid. It was voting for McMullin.

Eff him.

He's still dead to me.

Who out there could possibly still care what he thinks about anything? Sad though that RedState chose to make itself totally irrelevant...

And this right here is why Erickson is always the stupidest man in the room. McMuffin was a Rat plant. He was never a GOPer much less a Conservative. Anyone who bought into that bullshit deserves to be treated like shit and perpetually mocked.

Lol, hilarious.  When I read that Erickson was going to vote for Trump, I thought half seriously that he would still be NT to the hardcores.   Seems it wasn't a joke.

So he can vote for a third party again?  Boy, y'all are off to a good start.

I was holding out hope that you would someday learn the art of target identification.   Guess not!

Yeah, he might as well if he won't be accepted into the fold even after publicly admitting he was wrong and had changed his mind based on more information.

@Frank Cannon

Treat me like shit and mock me then, because I voted for him (and I've said so before).  If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't, because he's turned out to be an ass.  I would have stayed home. 

First-class buttholery like I see on this thread is the reason I won't bother praising Trump anymore on this forum.

Well then you didn't do your homework because it was plain as day the guy was a Lib. That is why he is my favorite punching bag.

As for Trump I don't give a royal rats ass what you do, that's your business, but I never had you down as a supporter anyway.

Listen. If some crank on a forum is scaring someone away from liking someone else, it's a lost cause.

@Frank Cannon

I probably didn't do my homework.  We all make mistakes.  He didn't have a hope in hell of winning, regardless.

You don't get it.  I've seen it over and over--people start to warm up to Trump, and his supporters turn them right off. 

Eternal grudge-holding is for kids and losers.

Not for me. I still have an enemies list going back 30 years and I adhere to it. It's what makes me so fun loving and whimsical.

Please explain?

...because I'm not 'forgiving' that pecker for rushing out to become a proud NeverTrumper.

His street cred is in the toilet where it belongs.   

And furthermore, he himself admitted that voting 3rd party was the stupidest thing he's ever done.

Hope certain Briefing Room birdbrains take note.   And take heed.

I don't give a damn what you think @DCPatriot. But you don't have to keep telling everyone in range!

   Maybe Erickson want's to get the hell out of dodge and is looking around early for a Train, Plane, anything, not unlike Jeff Sessions in 2015.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
