Hugh Hewitt: GOP Should Change Convention Rules to Dump Trump
Breitbart.com ^ | Alex Swoyer

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt suggests the Republican Party should change the rules ahead of the GOP National Convention so presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump can be replaced.

“It’s like ignoring stage-four cancer. You can’t do it, you gotta go attack it,” Hewitt says. “And right now the Republican Party is facing — the plane is headed towards the mountain after the last 72 hours.”

“I wanna support the nominee of the party, but I think the party ought to change the nominee. Because we’re going to get killed with this nominee,” he added.

What stinks?

He probable had the meeting because Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdock ask him to.

You don’t think Rush uses meetings like these to get an idea on how the other side thinks.

Do really think that Rush should come on every show and let you know who he had dinner last night?

Again, he said he listened politely but didn’t buy the argument. What more does he need to say?

Plus show me where Rush ‘scramble’ to come up with an explanation? Nothing in the article indicates that.

The NYT article lied, because he wasn’t for amnesty before the dinner, and he’s not for it now. And he didn’t go easy on Rubio.

Give me one example that shows Rush is now for amnesty.

just because Rush has a stronger stomach than you do, is not his fault.

Just put Weaselman Hugh Hewitt’s show on for this morning.

He mentioned that within the last hour he had been both dis-invited and then re-invited to the Convention due to his hysterical rant yesterday calling for the subversion of the primary process and his demand that the RNC change the rules so that they can keep Trump from winning the nomination.

I read the article and it explains how and why Hewitt proposes to "Dump Trump."

He says a rules change will get it done and will save the down ticket candidates.

He does not explain how, having replaced the winner of the primaries, he proposes to replace the voters who voted for him.

Hewitt, Ryan and the McConnells are playing with fire. I've thought about how I would vote that. I suspect many would agree.

Replace Trump and the nominee would lose. Period. There would be no path to winning.

So a vote against their nominee would have no cost.

The upside? Everyone has their own list. For me it's that we would see the end of the GOPee as we know it. It's long overdue. For me this would be the ultimate betrayal.

The RATs want to screw us, but at least they make no bones about it. The GOPee lies to our faces and treat us like cr@p. That's rude.
