Erick Erickson on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileReferencing his conservative values and religious conviction, commentator Erick Erickson explains why he cannot support Donald Trump's presidential bid in a 2015 article.
“I will not be voting for Donald Trump in the primary. I take my conservatism seriously, and I also take Saint Paul seriously. In setting out the qualifications for overseers, or bishops, Saint Paul admonished Timothy... We should not put a new conservative in charge of conservatism or the country, so that he does not become puffed up with conceit and fall into condemnation. Republicans have wandered in the wilderness already by letting leaders define conservatism in their own image. Donald Trump needs more time and more testing of his new conservative convictions.”
Amidst an alphabetical index and related links, this excerpt directly compares Donald Trump to Hitler, accusing him of tacitly supporting neo-nazis and white supremacists.
“Hitler is not Hillary Clinton either. The neo-nazis and white supremacists backing Donald Trump fetishize Hitler too. Trump dog whistles to them.”
