I want to beat Hillary Clinton next year. I want to beat her with a Republican who is not just another party apparatchik surrounded by lower level party apparatchiks within the Republican Party.
But I know we cannot beat Hillary Clinton with this level of anger. We won’t be able to draw people to our side and our cause like this.
I get the anger. I do. I am angry at the betrayal and the repeated lies from Washington Republicans who say they love children, but won’t even defund Planned Parenthood.
I get the anger of voters who sent men and women to Washington to fight Obama only to give him a blank check and keep Obamacare funded.
But I don’t get this anger. If this is the anger that flows out of Trump supporters, I do not think it is sustainable. Yet it comes daily. It is poisonous to debate, to democracy, and to the soul itself.
Yes, Republican voters have been betrayed. But I do not think people who are angered at the present President demeaning the integrity of the Presidency will ultimately side with any candidate whose base of support generates rage and hate. I refuse to believe that the people angry at Washington and the GOP have let their anger consume them. But the people in these emails and so many like them have been consumed by anger.
Those of you who see it within the ranks of the candidate you support, and not just with Trump supporters, need to try to channel the anger and draw out the happy warriors.
Conservatives must be happy warriors. Those of faith already know they’re on the winning team and the issues are far larger than the day to day politics of this country.

Maybe you can kiss my posterior.
Lol. Well you are certainly showing it. Maybe paint a happy warrior face on it
I don’t understand who Eric Ericsson is or why people care about him all of a sudden? He seems like some kind of phony cardboard cutout, like a GOPe project to create a more malleable Rush Limbaugh.
Where did this guy come from??
This post more resembles a mob than anything I've ever seen on FR, and I've been here a long time.
And for Trump???
My God FRiends, I thought I'd wondered into the DailyKOS or DU based on the vitriol I'm seeing.....and isn't that the point EE is trying to make?
Trump is no conservative, make no mistake, and the "people" that are so vociferous in his defense are going to rue the day they hitched their voices to the PT Barnum of the 21st century.
That's my certainty and that's my prediction.
You do realize you are just proving the point of the poster I replied to by behaving exactly as he described, right?
Or are you too oblivious to notice?
EE our anger should be focused on ilk like you who are Judas Iscariots to the real conservative cause. You’re as much RINO as the rest fool!
Oh, Erick, GFY.
Pissants piss on you.
Lame.
Ok. Good luck with that.
People are upset with the destruction the “uniparty” and the MSM is wreaking on America and you side with the GOPe.
We are not as stupid as you imagine.
Step aside.
Oh, i’m sorry.
Feel better?
Well, he has a talk radio show on AM 750 WSB. It’s my understanding that Atlanta has the largest talk radio audience in the US.
Seems his Red State conventions draw a bit of attention from the political class, too.
I don’t think I will.
Ted Cruz - 2016!
When it looked like this year’s Ames/Iowa Straw Poll might prove beneficial to Ted Cruz, the first RedState Gathering just happened to pop up on the same date for the benefit of the GOP-E. Quite a co-inky dink!
I don’t think you will either.
I think you will carry on with your nonsense no matter what. Which speaks volumes about your motives.
Hey big mouthed big shot. First you said you did the right thing, that you would “absolutely” do it again and now here you are reduced to groveling, wishing you hadn’t...GOOD!.
It’s been said before and now repeatedly.
ee is so irksome.
Having no desire to visit this State,
I’ll continue to do so.
Good night and sweet dreams, ee
Ask me if you can share her pillow as the two of you seem to be attached. Oh, one last question - any plans to be seen on her show any time soon. Perhaps when she returns to work? Want to note so I know when I’ve missed you. Thanks for your input. Leaving, singing as I go
Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to work I go...as I am happy happy happy
Then I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
“It sounds like Erick is in full meltdow
maybe he will get a 10 day vacation with his alter ego Megyn Kelly
