Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt has signaled that he is back on board supporting Donald Trump as the Republican party's presumptive nominee for President.
"Although there's been talk in recent weeks of implementing new rules at the Republican convention in Cleveland that would allow party leaders to replace Trump — talk that I've entertained — the appetite for that sort of drastic measure is gone," Hewitt wrote in an article that Washington Post published Thursday.
Hewitt's turn around comes a week after he called on the GOP leadership to change its convention rules if the septuagenarian could not change himself in the run up to the November presidential elections.
Trump's recent speeches, addressing religious liberty at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference and responding to the Orlando night club shooting, are winning messages and walled off the assorted anti-Trump campaign, according to Hewitt.
Setting aside his differences with Trump over the course of the primary season, Hewitt said the prospect of Trump's rival Hillary Clinton becoming President is bleak, "especially a Clinton who is so mired in scandal, compromised on national security and is the author of so many foreign-policy meltdowns."
