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.
“Erick Erickson needs to swallow his pride” From the pictures posted of him this should be easy. It looks like he swallows everything else.
