Meg Whitman indicates she may vote for HRC, compares Trump to Hitler

and Mussolini.

Republican donor Meg Whitman, the high-profile Hewlett Packard Enterprise president and CEO, indicated at Mitt Romney's closed-door summit on Friday that she would likely be supporting Hillary Clinton 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.

Whitman served as Romney's finance co-chair in 2012.

But asked if she was switching over to the other side, Whitman told ABC News, "I haven't made that decision. We’ll see, get to the conventions, see who the vice presidential picks are. And then I will make that decision."

Makes sense. Whitman is a "corporatist" republican, not a tea-partying winger.	JustABozoOnThisBus	Jun 2016	#2
So as long as "Hitler" picks a good VP, she's ok with him?	woolldog	Jun 2016	#3

1. I suspect we'll see a lot of what we've been seeing so far:

that is, many tepid endorsements of "the nominee" (they can't even be bothered to say his name, which is a sign) followed by very little effort made to actually support him. Some of them may well pull the lever for Clinton, but I doubt many of them will say so publicly unless we start getting into LBJ landslide territory. The Clinton name is poison among Republicans.

Remember, too, that the dog whistle is a favorite tool in the Republican kit. Drumpf doesn't get this, which is why he accepts even the faintest praise as an "endorsement."
