Trump has not won many over in his recent rabbit hole. A number of GOPers are talking about taking back their endorsement.
Just a week ago, Hewitt was voicing real concern about Trump. But something about his response to Orlando has won Hewitt over.
In this, he is in a distinct minority.
http://lastmenandovermen.blogspot.com/2016/06/pivoting-is-for-losers.html
By an over 2 to 1 margin, Americans do not approve of Trump's response: 51-25. Comparatively, Americans approve of Obama's response by a 44-34 margin, and Hillary Clinton's by a 36-34 margin.
Jennifer Rubin liked Hillary's speech a little better-which is good as Hillary is on the ballot and hopefully will be able to win many of the Rubins of the world.
For my part I liked both their speeches.
But Hewitt found something to like about Trump's speech where so few others did, even in his own party.
"Despite his differences with Trump over the course of the primary season, Hewitt remarked that "the prospect of another President Clinton, especially a Clinton who is so mired in scandal, compromised on national security and is the author of so many foreign-policy meltdowns, has a way of concentrating the mind."

For the good of the country we should elect Hitler 2.0? Hewitt's partisanship has fried is brain.
This is what Hillary Derangement Syndrome gets you.
For the good of the country we want a man who represents an existential threat to our very system of government?
Trump has not run for President, he's run to be the American Caesar-who was the end of the Roman Republic.
Some say Trump doesn't really mean what he says, maybe he's just joking or maybe he's just a Master Persuader and running as a fascist as this is where the votes are.
Once in office he'll show democratic restraint there. You know the arrogance of not releasing his tax returns or talking about using his office to win the Trump U case. or talking about suing media organizations and banning media organizations-that's all just an act.
Once in office he'll show the restraint he's incapable of during the campaign.
If you believe that, then I have to ask where you were when I used to sell diesel fuel additives.
You know, when he has all this executive power behind him then he'll show restraint. He won't ban Muslims or deport millions of nonwhite people.
He won't use nuclear weapons or allow new countries to get weapons. This is all a great joke.
The good of the country is we take on faith he's meant not a word of it and he'll run the country very differently than he's run his business-where's he's scammed so many.

We should trust him to do what's in the public interest now after not paying a dime in taxes, perhaps ever.

That's what the good of the country calls for in Hewitt's deranged mind.
Hillary Derangement Syndrome is an awesome thing.

But Hewitt found something to like about Trump's speech where so few others did, even in his own party.
"What changed his mind? Trump's speeches on Friday and Monday, addressing religious liberty at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference and responding to Orlando, Florida, attack, respectively. Hewitt wrote that Trump "has returned to a winning message and walled off the assorted 'never Trump' holdouts trying to upend his nomination."
"Hewitt's endorsement comes after Trump, in the aftermath of the Orlando massacre, repeatedly insinuated that President Barack Obama supports terrorism."
"Trump’s task now is clear: It’s time to abandon his off-the-cuff remarks, disengage from his battles with the media and methodically prosecute the case that throughout her career, [Hillary] Clinton has consistently displayed a disqualifying lack of judgment," Hewitt continued. "He needs to develop this argument, detail it and drive it home."
"Despite his differences with Trump over the course of the primary season, Hewitt remarked that "the prospect of another President Clinton, especially a Clinton who is so mired in scandal, compromised on national security and is the author of so many foreign-policy meltdowns, has a way of concentrating the mind."
"For the good of the country," Hewitt concluded, "Republicans have to be clear about the binary choice in front of us, close ranks around Trump and encourage him to eschew the frivolous and move ahead with a serious message."

I saw Hugh act like a Trump campaign operative on Hardball on Monday night. Chris was noticeably perturbed and asked him
ReplyDelete"So the answer the every question about Trump is 'Hillary Sucks', is that it?"
I wished he would have asked him then if he still thought Trump should be replaced as the GOP nominee. According to RedState today Hugh has fully changed his mind on that.
O/T: This is one of the most stupid posts ever on RedState:
http://www.redstate.com/neil_stevens/2016/06/16/guess-taliban-destroying-afghani-opponents-obama-allowed/
Neil Stevens is blaming Obama for Taliban helping boy rape in the Afghan military.
This one by Erickson is definitely better, but still I think he's missing the bigger picture for why it's a problem for the GOP that Trump is accusing Obama of being a member of ISIS: namely he's playing to the batshitcrazy wing of the right and encouraging them in further batshit: which is how they got stuck with Trump to begin with. He doesn't see it because apparently some of the "kitchen tables" Erick is privy to are also batshitcrazy, but to him it just seems like "normal people."

DeleteI do see your girl, Jennifer Rubin, is in some denial today that the GOP can easily dump Trump now just five weeks away and get someone else to be Hillary.
ReplyDeleteI think that ship has sailed. They probably don't have time or inclination to do that.
Even if they did, I think the party is really damaged. Even Sumner said before he thinks even if someone other than Trump won, they'd be too tarnished by the whole process.
Along those lines, I'm encouraged that Hugh Hewitt ("company man" as Erickson calls him) switched course again and decided to back Trump again.
