The Resurgent’s Erick Erickson, a conservative commentator who has been a Fox News contributor since 2013, is leaving the network, according to Politico’s Jake Sherman.
Erickson, whose commentary has been both fiercely critical of President Donald Trump and his opponents, said he is leaving the network because his views don’t fit into any typical box.
“After five years at Fox News, I am leaving the network,” he said, per Sherman. “I am neither needed nor useful to the network and they know it too. I neither fit solidly as a Republican Trump supporter nor as an anti-Trump Democrat.”

A Faux “conservative”, who is not working hard to MAGA is definitely neither needed, wanted nor useful.

He’s as Conservative as Bernie SandersAnd that's just on Fox... I can't imagine how conservative he'll be on MSNBC... or in the Weakly Standard...

He jumped the shark way back in Trumps campaign.
Trump is not going to win
Trump is not conservative
Trump is immoral
The guy did a mea culpa after the election, but by then his career was over.
Notice Rush has never invited him back to guest host - that’s because he is George Will toxic.

Erick Erickson needs to swallow his pride and take a serious second look at Trump. FOX can't afford to waste viewer's time with people who don't represent more than a few thousand people at best. The nevertrump time is over.
NeverTrumpers are orphans outside of Washington DC and the wealthiest counties in the country - those clustered around DC.
(The reason they're wealthy is they live on the fat of the land - on the money 'we the people' earn ... and the graft they get selling influence.)
Trump cuts into their action - and they hate him for it.
No more selling influence,
no more selling trade deals that hurt Americans,
no more selling citizenship and 'favors' to dictatorships
... and soon 'no more selling speeches' that are little more than bribes.

Neither needed nor useful is the most apt description of the miserable little POS I can think of. He finally got some insight. LOL!
