Things are starting to get interesting!


Republican donor Meg Whitman (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/business/CEOs/meg-whitman.htm), the high-profile Hewlett PackardEnterprise president and CEO, indicated at Mitt Romney (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/mitt-romney.htm)'s closed-door summit on Friday that she would likely be supporting Hillary Clinton (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/whitehouse/hillary-clinton.htm) in November, according to multiple sources who were in the room.

"She posed the question, 'Is it not reasonable to support Hillary Clinton?' given all the awful things Trump has said," explained donor John Chachas.

I expect more Republicans to jump ship as the S.S Drumpf takes on more water.

Meg Whitman, Calling Donald Trump a ‘Demagogue,’ Will Support Hillary Clinton for PresidentSource: The New York Times


Meg Whitman, a Hewlett Packard executive and Republican fund-raiser, said Tuesday that she would support Hillary Clinton for president and give a “substantial” contribution to her campaign in order to stop Donald J. Trump, whom she berated as a threat to American democracy.

...snip...

She revealed that Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had reached out to her in a phone call about a month ago, one of the first indications that Mrs. Clinton is aggressively courting Republican leaders. While acknowledging she diverged from Mrs. Clinton on many policy issues, Ms. Whitman said it was time for Republicans “to put country first before party.”

Using remarkably blunt language, she argued that the election of Mr. Trump, whom she called “a dishonest demagogue,” could lead the country “on a very dangerous journey.” She noted that democracies had seldom lasted longer than a few hundred years and warned that those who say that “it can’t happen here” are being naïve.

Ms. Whitman also said she “absolutely” stood by her comments at a private gathering of Republican donors this year comparing Mr. Trump to Hitler and Mussolini, explaining that dictators often come to office through democratic means.

Hillary is going to lose supporters too as more and more Wikileaks come out. And maybe the Russians found her missing emails.
