The HillConservative columnist Erick Erickson, who declared himself Never Trump during the 2016 election, endorsed President Trump for reelection in 2020 on Monday.
In a column on his site, The Resurgent, Erickson writes that some of his concerns about Trump remain, but that the president and Vice President Mike Pence have earned (his) vote.
I still struggle on the character issue and I understand Christian friends who would rather sit it out than get involved, Erickson writes. But I also recognize that we cannot have the Trump Administration policies without President Trump and there is much to like.
The columnist says he voted third-party in 2016, but that the path of opting out or protesting now seems irrelevant.

He's probably getting a tax refund.

I still remember when he called Gold Star mother Cindy Sheehan a publicity whore for opposing the Iraq War, and was relentless in attacking her. He is disgusting.

Won't even bother with "obligatory Clause Rains".
Remember, NONE of these "Never Trumpers" is a friend. Some of them may be entertaining and witty with the scorn they heap on Trump, but they spent their careers heaping that scorn on Democrats, and they'll go right back to it the moment they feel safe.

Most of them will crawl back as most republicans don't have any principles.
