Erick Erickson is not even an interesting writer.

Agreed. Erickson is the epitome of being in the right place at the right time. Redstate found some Bush allies early on and from there it took off. He has almost no talent whatsoever, on the radio or as a writer.

Say what you will about people like Charles Krauthammer, Mark Levin, Jonah Goldberg, Allahpundit, and so many Never Trumpers. But they have talent.

Until Trump came along I listened to Levin every day, subscribed to HotAir, followed Jonah on Twitter, watched Krauthammer on Special Report each night.

But Erickson was a person I never ever sought out for his opinion. He was and is a blowhard.

I like & respect all of those you mention (except Erickson, of course).

Another conservative commentator whose prominence I still don’t understand is S.E. Cupp.
