(NewsNation) — Inflation and crime will lead Republicans to victory in November, but abortion will not, according to Atlanta conservative talk show host Erick Erickson.
The GOP has “a real problem on abortion,” he told NewsNation’s “On Balance.”
“For years, the message was ‘Rove vs. Wade should never have happened. This should be a state-level issue.’ The Supreme Court says ‘OK,’ and now they’re like ‘whoa … it shouldn’t be a state level issue. We should have a federal uniform law.’”
Erickson says the problem stems from a lack of leadership, and he spares no feeling about the reason.
“The problem is when you’re lead by someone who has no impulse control, it trickles down to everyone else. Why come up with a message when Donald Trump’s just gonna blow it up? No one even tries.”
Erickson says Republican candidates who focus on inflation and crime will win in November, while those less-disciplined — the ones who can’t come up with a comprehensive message — will lose.
