he’s either a complete Pr*ck....or he sees Mr. Trump’s $$$ and is angling for a pay-off
but Mr Trump just might be the one guy running who might not deal in payoffs...?
My best guess is that Hillary is forcing him to work for her or threatening to release what she found in his FBI file from his time in the Reagan administration, some evidence of wrongdoing (my personal guess would be involving bath houses around DC).....
He has a severe, terminal case of Neoconitis.
As I have said before, Erick Erickson, Hugh Hewitt, Bill Kristol and their surrogates should leave the United States and make Cuba their home. That way they can get the kind of society they are shooting off their mouths for while they are shooting themselves in the foot.
The bottom fell out of the dork market.
He’s ugly and his mother dresses him funny.
Try Chris Plante in the morning and Phil Valentine in the afternoon/evening. They are good entertainment and don’t take themselves too seriously.
Both are on numerous radio streams at various times.

He drank the Beltway Water, he’s an establishment stooge.... Take your pick or pick something else.
The last Republican candidate that gave a damn about, and fought for America, was Ronald Reagan. Till now. If the GOPe wants to play games at the convention, and deny our will, then they can go the way of the Whigs and may posterity forget that they were our countrymen.
Hewitt has always been long on intellect and not so good on stategery.

It will be interesting to see how some of these talkshow hosts did in the 2nd quarter.
Hmmm...Hugh Hewitt....I only know him as a name from James Lileks’ blog(s).
DONALD: True.
HUGH: Are you going back on your . . .
DONALD: No. First of all, very few people listen to your radio show. That’s the good news. (booing) Which happens to be true. Check out the ratings.

Not exactly how to win friends and influence people, DJT.
Some people want to roll the dice with Trump. Some people, like Hugh Hewitt, don't -- if they can avoid it.
Maybe he's wrong about that. He's comfortable. He's got a berth in the conservative Establishment that he doesn't want to lose.
But still, is he wrong about Trump being a big gamble?
I remember when the primaries first started and Hewitt saying over and over that Trump could not win because he could not go above 50%.
Hewitt is all in with MSNBC and CNN. It is definitely a money thing and I am going to assume his ratings are getting very very bad.
Wouldn’t it be easier to answer if the question were: What is right about Hugh Hewitt? Absolutely nothing.
“What is wrong with Hugh Hewitt?”
Lol. An easier question is ‘what was ever RIGHT about Hugh Hewitt? And how did so many people get fooled by him?’
Hewitt unloaded his carpetbag in California in the early 1990s, when we locals were fighting hard to pass Prop 187, the illegal alien bill. Hewitt, like a number of other national GOP establishment stooges, took the side of illegal aliens against the grassroots conservatives of California.
Hewitt procured a job at the local PBS station, as their housebroken ‘conservative’, a perfect fit- he’s about as conservative as PBS could ever stand.
Over the years Hewitt has been a loyal GOP court follower. An insider. GOPe, neocon, Bush Republican, Sea Island Republican. On his little radio show he reliably pushes the GOPe line and tries to pass it off as ‘conservatism’. When he’s not polishing his own Harvard diploma for your admiration, he’s inviting guests whose establishment credentials are spotless. He gets along famously with his Lefty pals like Erwin Chemerinsky, who has all the right credentials. OTOH Hewitt has bitter contempt for wild conservatives of the Tim Donnolly variety.
The last Republican gubernatorial primary pitted Tea Party favorite Tim Donnolly against Neel Kashkari, self-admitted Obama voter, supporter of gay marriage, abortion, gun restriction, amnesty, mass immigration. Care to guess who Hewitt supported? Well Kashkari of course. Like his pal Michael Medved, Hewitt warned that nominating Tim Donnolly would destroy the Republican party- that Donnolly was so poisonous he would cause Republicans to lose races all across the country.
