Erick Ericson: I Now Believe Donald Trump Is On Track to Win the Presidency
Conservative News 24/7 ^ | Erick Ericson

Posted on 07/25/2016 5:20:51 AM PDT by ErikJohnsky

I have said repeatedly, over and over, ad nauseum that I do not believe Donald Trump will win the Presidency. Yes, it has always been possible, but it has been very, very improbable that this would happen. I have also said repeatedly that events can change things. And events are now changing things rapidly.

Those rapidly changing events are a staggering intervention into the political process by aggressive Trump supporters I never anticipated and only in the last few months realize they were there. They have mobilized, are unwavering in their support, and will say and do anything to get Trump elected.

Hillary Clinton has no such effort on her part. The people supporting Hillary Clinton are mostly supporting her because she is not Trump. But Trump now has a loyal, highly expert group of foot soldiers who are not anti-Clinton, but very pro-Trump. In a 50-50 nation, these loyal foot soldiers may be enough to put Trump over the edge.

I read the article, and have to assume that he is angry about this. In fact, he seems to be developing an "excuse" of sorts about how Trump is going to win against his dire predictions to the contrary.

There is a possibility that this is one of the first "cracks in the dam" of the nevertrumpers. If so, we can thank Mike Pence for that if true. Pence may be working behind the scenes to bring a kind of unity to the fore.

Regardless, Mike Pence changes things whether we hear about it publicly or not. He has the best chance to bring in folks like Erick Erickson who are Evangelical Christians first and foremost and were plowed under with Cruz.

Wow, you're right, Kristol is saying the same thing, that Trump can win. Looks coordinated to me.

All the while, the GOP will cheer it on because their team is winning and they will completely ignore the national security and national integrity questions arising from a Vladimir Putin backed foreign army of hactivists actively working to undermine Hillary Clinton in order to get Donald Trump in the White House.

May have come around grudgingly on trump but still touting the "Russian hacktivist" meme of the left while ignoring the possibility that the leak may have been caused by a DNC employee who was just tired of the rigged system.

On what I am sure is a completely unrelated note, let us mourn the tragic death of Seth Rich, yet another victim of senseless urban gun violence.

I knew Trump was the next President when he said “wall” in his opening day speech. You are a little late.

I am a Trump supporter and always thought he was going to win.

My comment was directed to those who didn't think he was going to win.

You mean the "out of touch" types. I get it. :)

I believe your analysis is correct. Erick has been catching hell from his local friends and allies in Atlanta, where he is so right on state and local issues and against the corrupt state GOPe. I believe this is the first step to climb down from his prideful neverTrump high horse, although with a handy villain to explain how Erick could have been so wrong. I think we’ll see more of this.

If they did it, we should thank the Russians. Our media would never tell us the truth.

Erick you blind sumb!tch. Told ya so.

You kept emulating David Brooks and no doubt believing every word coming from your mouth and keyboard. Keep your head in your a$$, nobody wants to see your putrid face any more.

As far as the Dem/GOPe allegation about Putin doing favors for Trump, I think the same thing about that that I did about their asinine dribblings about Reagan making a deal with the Iranian hostage-takers: if a private citizen can wield more influence than a sitting President, then get him/her into the Oval Office IMMEDIATELY and throw the other bum straight out.

This pathetic dweeb thinks Trump needs Putin to put him over the top. Or wants us to believe it. He’s a self serving little RINO who can’t rise above a B list radio drivetime show in Atlanta.

You have it right. This is not a capitulation in Trump’s favor, it is an attempt to link Trump with Russia in favor of Hillary.

BTW, I agree with Savage that Russia is likely to be our ally in the war with Islamic Terror. And it will also take Trump to be the President for this to happen.

But Ericson saying that Trump may win is still not an endorsement of Trump’s position. Eric is still a Never Trumper.
