Either the Republican National Committee must change its convention rules or the presumptive Republican nominee needs to change his personality, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt remarked on his program Wednesday morning.

“They ought to get together and let the convention decide. And if Donald Trump pulls over a makeover in the next four to five weeks, great, they can keep him. It would be better if he had done so 5 weeks ago. But it’s awful and it ended bad last night," he said, in reference to Trump's speech from his swanky Westchester County golf club in which he read from a teleprompter and promised to turn the page and earn the votes of Republican voters who opposed him in the primary.


Accepting of Trump as the nominee against Hillary Clinton at this point, Hewitt said, is "like ignoring Stage IV cancer. You can’t do it, you gotta go attack it."

“And right now the Republican Party is facing — the plane is headed towards the mountain after the last 72 hours," he said.

Hewitt, who sought to remain studiously neutral during the Republican primary, preceded his remarks by playing a clip of Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" upon the circumstances of the general election. "It looks like the general election will come down to Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump, which is fitting, really, since she’ll be the first, you know, female nominee of her party, and he’ll be his party’s last nominee," Colbert cracked.

"Get that America?" Hewitt said. "Our party's last nominee."

Making sure to note that he disagreed with those who said they could not support their party's nominee up to that point, Hewitt said he waited until the primary was over and "stayed Switzerland" until the last "72 hours."
