'Never Trump' Oligarchy slowly coming out of the closet

[ABC] 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." Her office declined to comment further when asked.

She backed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during the primary season and criticized him for his subsequent support of Donald Trump.

#1 More proof, as if it's needed, that there is one beltway party for all the corruptocrats.

Clinton is the Don of this crime family and they will do all in their power to maintain their turf and perqs.

#2 What the f*#k is wrong with the beltway Republicans is the correct question.

It does not necessarily follow that Trump is the correct answer.

#3 Meg Whitman, the highly successful candidate for CA governor and the finance co-chair of the highly successful Romney Presidential campaign.

I'm thinking she's doing a Trump a favor here.

#4 HP is yet another importer/outsourcer, and she lost her gubernatorial race. She is who Trump has been running against the last year.

#7 I remember how pitiful her campaign was when she ran for governor against Moonbeam. Just like Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman is yet another loser who also happens to be CEO of Hewlett-Packard. What is it about that company?

But I liked it when Reince Priebus told her and Romney that Republicans will win in November with them or without them.

#9 "She [Whitman] posed the question, 'Is it not reasonable to support Hillary Clinton?' given all the awful things Trump has said,"

I really find these squishy faint-hearted liberals (RINOS) disgusting. What has Trump said that compares to what Hillary has done? Hillary is one evil, conniving, manipulative, crooked bytch.
