Conservative Radio Host Hugh Hewitt Says GOP Should Change Convention Rules to Dump Trump

http://www.mediaite.com/election-2016/hugh-hewitt-gop-should-change-convention-rules-to-dump-donald-trump/

Conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt argued Wednesday morning that the Republican Party should make an unprecedented effort to change the Republican National Convention rules to allow them to dump Donald Trump as their nominee.

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

Hewitt said he disagreed with Republican senators like Lindsey Graham and Mark Kirk who said they could not vote for their party’s nominee. “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.”

“I have never said that!” he stressed. “I waited until after the primary was over, I stayed Switzerland to the end, and in 72 hours, dovetailed to that.”

He not this way before... he was a tepid supporter of Trump but the judge thing was the last straw.

n February 2016 Hewitt wrote that, despite being publicly insulted by him, he would support Donald Trump should he become the GOP nominee for President. Among the six reasons Hewitt would support Trump over Clinton, Hewitt singled out Trump's daughter Ivanka for having an "extraordinary intellect" and for having a Svengali-like influence over her father. Either way, Hugh is a giant shit-stain! And now he's a regular on friggin' MSNBC???
