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.

I actually have more sympathy for Medved.
He was raised as a Democrat, and was once a Leftist
working for far-Leftist Dems like Ron Dellums. For
him to come as far to the right as he has is quite
an achievement.
Hewitt on the other hand was employed by Reagan.
He damned well knows better.
He has panicked because Donald Trump may have committed a tactical error in his mode of addressing a grievance. I say may have. It certainly did not call for anyone to panic. It was certainly no more likely to damage prospects than a dozen other blunt comments over the past eleven months--many of which turned out to actually be helpful as clues that Donald is both a fighter and quite human.
What makes being a fighter & human O.K., is that Donald Trump is unashamedly on our side. He puts America First!
It is not clear that Mr. Hewitt has even thought that far.
And apparently Michael Reagan as well.
I thought Hugh had endorsed Trump...
When everyone “on your side” is trying to knife you, then predicting a loss becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy with most men.
Our ‘betters’ disdain us. They hate the middle class.
I’m taking bets, the Kirk of Illinois, who has denounced Trump, will lose his Senate seat.
[Conservative]
Ha. Liberal.
Trump was being generous. He is 5th rate.
“Hewitt was also a close personal friend of Candy Crowley.
He vouched personally for her fairness and neutrality. Just days before she ambushed Mitt.”
Hewitt even made excuses for her after the ambush. National journalists are ‘his people’, he imagines himself to be part of an intelligentsia that we peons should prostrate ourselves before.
Hugh Hewitt’s become a darling of the left wing MSNBC... that should be a hint to him who he’s becoming.
[Such a move would destroy the Republican Party.]
If the RINOs can get the party they way they want, they would be happy burning it down.
No different than the spoiled child smashing the game board when they lose.
Did he say these things about mccain or romney??
Is that the real Hugh Hewitt or a wax sculpture? Or is there even a difference?
THIS is what they’re doing to Trump ... not only is he fighting the Democrats & their slimy shenanigans, he’s also fighting the GOPe & trying to survive the knives they’re sticking in his back:
Donald Trump, Judge Curiel, Decepticons and The Non Discussed Motives of The GOPe Quislings…

More specifically, the GOPe leadership of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were always going to be in opposition to Donald Trump. The entire architecture of the republican presidential race was structurally intended to advance the ‘establishment’ candidacy of next-in-line Jeb. This was the grand design since October of 2014, including every player within the presidential race, which we previously outlined in great detail.
As we presented mid-2015, if Trump bested their globalist/Wall St efforts -which seemed almost insurmountable at the time- the GOPe would have no reasonable alternative other than to support the alternate side of the UniParty coin, Hillary Clinton.
However, supporting Clinton is ideologically favorable but optically challenging. Everything would have to be carefully constructed to avoid the appearance of their support.
Predictably 2016 endorsements would not be actual endorsements per se’. Support in-name-only is the best way to think of it. What followed (post Indiana) was essentially the visibility of this approach. The media sells the arms length approach as necessary due to the vulgarian or controversial nature of candidate Trump. However, that narrative is factually false.
The GOPe do not support the nationalist candidacy of Donald Trump because the America-First principles espoused by Trump are antithetical to their legislative agenda. It has nothing to do with Trump’s personality; their motives only use the behavioral excuse as a shield to hide the reality of their UniParty affiliation.
As an example today when House Speaker Paul Ryan says candidate Trump’s remarks about Judge Curiel are “the literal definition of racism“, most of the Trump supporters and most of the Anti-Trump advocates, point out how Ryan’s remarks are going to be in Hillary Clinton campaign ads.
Yes, indeed Ryan’s words will be in Hillary Clinton campaign ads; but that is not accidental – it is by Machiavellian design.
The GOPe is going to do everything within their power to undermine the candidacy of their own nominee because that nominee is an existential threat to their own grip on power.
This time, the defining issue is Illegal Immigration.
What we're witnessing is just how the small, powerful controlling establishment, along with their talking heads, are committed to Amnesty and Open Borders.
To be opposed makes you a Racist (their talking point).
Hugh is a Girly Man

Hugh Hewitt is one of those token faux “conservatives” that liberal media organizations love to trot out for “balance” because he’s so benign, feckless and ineffective he just serves as punching bag for whatever liberal he’s going up against and usually ends up agreeing with the liberal and apologizing for the real conservatives out their trying to create real change (as he is doing now).
Sorry, that's just how God made me. Go figure, huh?
