'Nothing's going to get fixed': Right-winger despairs as Trump crushes GOP election hopes

Conservative Erick Erickson found himself in a seeming state of despair on Wednesday after watching the Republican Party suffer a new round of stinging defeats in off-year elections, which are coming despite the fact that President Joe Biden suffers from continuously dismal approval ratings.

Writing on Twitter, Erickson pinned the party's biggest problem as its total reliance on Trump as its political champion despite the fact that the GOP lost the 2018 midterm elections and the 2020 presidential election, while also suffering from a massively disappointing 2022 midterm election that saw Republicans retake the House of Representatives by a very slim margin.

"The GOP is no longer a national party," Erickson wrote on Tuesday night as election results poured in. "It is a collection of disparate regional parties. In some areas, the party wins by being tied to Trump. In some areas, it loses by being tied to Trump. What wins in pro-Trump areas and what wins in anti-Trump areas are incompatible, which means the party's coalition is unstable and unworkable nationally."

In a follow up post, Erickson lamented that there didn't seem to be any way to change this dynamic until Trump's exit from the political arena.
