Hugh Hewitt Says GOP Should Change Rules & Dump Trump At Convention

On the day that Donald Trump secured the delegates necessary to become the Republican nominee with 75% of the vote in California and 80% of the vote in New Jersey, radio personality Hugh Hewitt called for Republican insiders to change the convention rules and deny Trump the nomination he has definitively won at the polls. So much for elections...

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’ll note that this one is a Roman Catholic.

Not anymore. He quit to become a Presbyterian. (how's THAT for apologetics??)

[Deo volente]

Well, since I keep track of the Mormons and Jews of the NeverTrump movement, I’ll note that this one is a Roman Catholic.

Not quite. Hewitt calls himself an "Evangelical Roman Catholic Presbyterian". He serves as an elder in his local Presbyterian church while also attending Mass. A bit confused, shall we say?

[jazusamo]

Hugh hoo?

[jmaroneps37]

Maybe the Republicans could run Mittens and McAmnesty so they could lose with dignity and make the media happy.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Hewitt and Erikson and many of the GOP e psychophants will be looking for new work after Nov 8...don’t let the door from the Trump train hit you in the ass on your way out ...
as my favorite candidate for Trump VP ...Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III succinctly said it...Trump is the NEW GOP...get used to it or get out of the way the day of Neo Cons...one worlders GOP e monied special interests are gone we are now a full blown insurrection of “we the people” from that old document that bothers the hell out of your sort..

[Buckeye McFrog]

He was so big on Romney he wrote a book entitled “A Mormon in the White House”, and right up to the moment of the election in 2012 was crowing about a Mitt victory. Then...the sound of crickets. The book is going for a penny on Amazon.

The irony being that his self-professed "good friend" Candy Crowley stuck the final knife in Mitt's back.

Interesting map. Confirms that Trump should really zero in on the Midwest and the Northeast. Assuming he can keep Florida, all he needs after that really are Romney states plus Ohio and Pennsylvania.

“itt has proven himself to be a Bed Wetter 1st Class
I shall never listen in on his radio show again . Ever
Him & Levin dead to me . oh say...”

He took over for Bill Bennett, who was also an apologists for the old repubs. I turned him off this morning after he repeated the same crap about Trump, crashing into mountain, mean to Hispanic judge, etc.
So now in DFW I have no AM radio to listen to on my drive in to work. WBAP and 570 are owned by same liberal company. Hewitt was on KSKY 660. Only thing anti establishment is Savage 2-5.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Hewitt calls himself an "Evangelical Roman Catholic Presbyterian".

That's like being an Orthodox Jewish LDS Wiccan Buddhist.

[Kozy]

Stop listening to this cold pile of dog poop. Then the stations will dump him. I dumped him over a year ago. He is anti conservative so flush him.

[BigEdLB]

With the way he structured his show. I am wondering if he had this in mind all along if Trump were to get the nomination

[Robert DeLong]

I’ve actually never listened to him.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Again, stations are not going to dump him because nearly every station he’s on is owned by Salem.

I feel bad for my local Conservative host, Rose Soma Tennent. She was not a particular Trump fan but is out holding rallies and doing all she can now to get him elected. Hewitt is the lead-in to her show. That is sure to depress her ratings.

[BatGuano]

He might have just as well died. He has made a HUGH mistake.
Is that YUGE? Or should it be spelled HUGE?

[JonPreston]

Hewitt calls himself an "Evangelical Roman Catholic Presbyterian"

So he molests altar boys without guilt?

(I am so kidding!)

[clee1]

Hugh Hewitt should stick a sock in it....

[Trod Upon]

Is he still dry-humping Romney’s leg, or has he found a new man crush?

[Jewbacca]

Looking at your source, even after Cruz dropped out, there is a pretty consistent 30% NeverTrump.

In short, Hillary is President, barring indictment and an ankle bracelet.

[GilGil]

I listen to Hewitt on the drive to work...
________________

I used to listen to him too. No more.

Krauthammer yesterday railed on Trump about the judge. While listening I realized that the pundit class thinks they are important and the keepers of the right opinion to have. What they do not realize is that not enough people care about what they think anymore. They are dinosaurs.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah I’d say there are some stupid Republicans. As we get closer to the actual election when their vote actually makes a difference, those remaining to vote 3rd party or Hillary, that are Republican and stupid, will be far less than the current count.
