Could Hewitt really be so out of touch that he could possibly think that the party would survive the machinations at the convention that he wants? The Republican Party would immediately and most likely permanently lose a huge chunk of its electorate, ensuring that it never wins another national election.
I think we should start calling Hewitt “The Whig” for what he hopes to do to the GOP. He really is just another reminder of the contempt our establishment overlords have for us regular voters and how disconnected people like him are from reality.
Hewitt went from the ivory tower of a university job to the bosom of the D.C. Beltway.
He IS out of touch with the vast majority of us.
