Erick Erickson on Trump: 'This Is Going to End Badly'

Conservative talk radio host and writer Erick Erickson has long been vocal in his distaste for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, and he went on a Twitter rant Wednesday about it.

Erickson says he can understand people supporting Trump in order to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton, and said he cannot understand why anyone would vote for Clinton over Trump.

Erickson's tweets come as several Republicans, including Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman, a GOP fundraiser who called Trump a "demagogue,", say they will vote for Clinton.  

2. I totally get it and am sympathetic to the idea that you have concluded Trump is better than Hillary so you will vote for him. I get it.

3. I disagree with you. I think they are equally terrible. But I do not hold it against anyone for coming to the opposite conclusion.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

4. For the life of me, however, I do not understand any Republican voting for Hillary Clinton.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

5. If Trump does not deserve your vote, Hillary Clinton sure as hell does not deserve your vote.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

6. You do not have to vote for either one of these clowns. You have a right not to pick between either awful candidate.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

7. But for you Republicans who are supporting Trump, please understand he is not going to win. Console yourself with close polling.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

8. But understand force of personality only gets you so far. Right now Clinton is spending $98 million to Trump's $800K in swing state ads

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

9. And yes, we know the media is biased against Trump as the media is against every Republican, but not all of them give so much material.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

10. At some point, for integrity and character's sake, I hope you'll at least go on record that Trump is an immoral person.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

11. Character must still count and if you haven't noticed, Trump is breaking apart the GOP and turning people to their worst selves.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

12. This is going to end badly. I stand by my believe that those of us against Trump must have malice toward none when everything collapses

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

13. But when it collapses, those who cheered on Trump to the bitter end will be without much credibility to help rebuild the party.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

14. And if I'm really honest, at this point I think Trump should not be replaced even if it were possible.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

15. The GOP elite, @Reince, the RNC, etc. need to own this defeat in all its glory. They could have stopped him, but they served him.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

16. I pity my children's future because of a Clinton presidency, but I think it is inevitable now.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

17. And i pity some of you who will have in your political obituary the words "Water carrier for Trump."

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

18. The truth is, I plan on never again supporting any cause or candidate who hires anyone who went to work for Trump before May 2016.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

19. Those people aided and abetted Hillary Clinton's rise and fostered a collapse of civic discourse in America.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

20. And now we will watch this unfold like a 97 day moving train wreck. God help us all and I really do mean that.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 3, 2016

Addendum: I do mean it, I don't blame you if you think he is better than Clinton. But I don't believe it. Good luck.
