“I thought Hugh had endorsed Trump...”
No. Hewitt simply stopped attacking Trump when Trump began granting him weekly radio interviews. And at that point Hewitt began sucking up to Trump and pretended to be neutral. But he’s taken the mask back off and is back to being his real, GOPe elitist self.
that’s the ‘grinning like a raccoon eating fish guts off a wire brush’ Hewitt. (hat tip PJ O’Rourke)
Trump just beat the primary vote record by over 1.8 million votes. Hewitt better realize who voted for trump.
It's looking that way. Duckworth +6 according to RCP. He only went after Trump probably because he was told to by his "advisors" as his only chance to win. The problem is that he is receiving the wrong advice.
How the hell did idiots like this ever become viable radio hosts ?
Hey Hugh, why dont we change the rules ot let the Republicans nominate Hillary?
These mouthpieces for the ruling elite of the Republican Party are declaring that their fellow citizens, millions of them, who voted in primaries, are too ignorant, but that the same Party types who were coopted by Obama, are wise enough to choose someone who can marshal enough votes to keep this nation from spending itself into historical obscurity!!!
Persons who make such a judgment about the intelligence of millions of American citizens--veterans who have sacrificed for us, and the hardworking who work and earn the very dollars that support their own life styles, provide a window into their own souls and minds!
Note the difference between Hewitt and Medved's judgment of "the People" and that of the genius Author of our Declaration of Independence and early President:
"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas JeffersonNow, just contemplate Jefferson's first lines, and think about the "establishment leaders" in both Parties who have participated in "load(ing) us with perpetual debt."
Are Hewitt and Medved thinking of one of those as being a replacement candidate for Trump?
With his uncompromising, emotion-based and public support of Hillary Clinton for president as the result of his illogical fear of Donald Trump, Hugh Hewitt and his little buddy Michael Medved have clearly given up their responsibility as patriotic Americans to defend the Constitution and promote traditional American values. In so doing, both men have disgraced themselves in the eyes of conservatives who place the Constitution above all things political. There is really no other conclusion to be made.
I have long said they (GOPe) are going to do any and everything they could think of to Dump Trump. The brouhaha over his remarks about the judge is nothing more than the excuse they think can justify their actions.
Will they? If they think they can retain control Congress, you better believe they will accept a Hillary presidency.
Always remember their personal gain and power is more important than the Constitution to them.
Dump you, Hughie
Representation of someone who ran for Class President in High School and always LOST!
Sorry Hughie you only got one vote, again!
“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.”
Yes, absolutely correct...Trump exposes that the Republican Party is nothing but a faithful wing of the Democrat Party.
The Republican Party will work harder than Hillary to destroy Trump. The entire political establishment is lined up against him, even if they give him a bit of lip service. This is a revolution and the people will have to complete it on their own.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning. LOL!
Indeed.
“I don’t think Candy Crowley ever came back on his show after her ambush attempt.”
What “attempt”? It was wildly successful.
Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved are boring third rate RINOs who somehow managed to get radio gigs. I pay no attention to their opinions.
Yes. She has issues.
I’ve listened for years. He’s center-right but establishment thru and thru. He’s just moved to the beltway and has become infected, with an obvious desire to be loved by MSNBC, CNN, etc. I no longer listen.
“Why the hell doesn’t Trump get off his butt, denounce Ryan and back Paul Nehlin?”
In due time. This is rope-a-dope. With so much at stake, Trump NEEDS to identify the Ryan/Romney/McConnell/Bush-quislings around him. It makes it easier to choose his inner circle, and it allows him to know who was (and therefore, WILL be) willing to be loyal when the ‘going gets tough.’
Trump’s many enemies play for keeps, and I’m sure Donald J. Trump would like to keep himself alive and not end up like JFK/RFK.
On another note... To everyone: Send the postcards again to these RINOs. They need to know if they reject Trump, they are rejecting US. And we’ve had enough. No more!
