If you want fresh evidence that Donald Trump has turned American politics upside down, here it is: Former Gov. Christie Whitman, a lifelong Republican, is so appalled by him that she wants Democrats to take over the House.
"I'm hoping we lose the House, that would be a good thing," she said Friday. "Congress could stand up to him and could be dialing back a lot of this. They have ceded too much to this president."
But be careful, she says. Don't kill the moderate Republicans, they are the ones who can help steer the country back to safe ground.
"You have to pick and choose," said Whitman. "It's really bad for the country when both parties are on the extreme. That's happening to Democrats, too. They're not as far along as Republicans, but it's coming."
This shocker, to me at least, came during a conversation about Rep. Leonard Lance, R-7th, who is fighting for his life against a strong Democratic challenger, Tom Malinowski, in a district that chose Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Whitman says she will vote for Lance in November, and that the bipartisan coalition he belongs to -- known as the "Problem Solvers Caucus" -- could hold the balance of power in a Congress that is held narrowly by one party or the other, as she believes is likely. That could break the partisan standoff, she says.

Always knew,she,was a POS.She,even raped the teacher’s pension fund.
Whitman is a boil that is hard to get rid of.
Not happening, you Undocumented Democrat...You and other RINOs needs to lose...
Um, who's this "we", ᛒitch? Obviously you aren't included in "we" or else you wouldn't have said that dumb shiite.
This POS, Whitman, should rot in hell. Recall after 9-11, her proclaiming that the WTC site is safe from contaminants. Since that time many people have died from working on the site. She is a fine example of the Deep State.
Okay, I will make an exception for the President, then.
In my lifetime only Scott Garrett, and the RNC abandoned him so a Clinton lackey Josh gottheimer could replace him.
LOL.
It’s astonishing when you think about it, but Scott Garrett consistently had one of the highest ratings from conservative advocacy group of ANY House member in the country — including Republicans from the Great Plains, Texas, the Deep South, etc.
Deep Stater Communist Democrat Christine Toad Worthless sez whut ?
If republican/conservative voters stay home again, like they did in 2006 and 2008, then she’ll get her wish.
And conservatives will wake up wondering how Trump is being impeached and where all the crazy regs are coming from ... again. meanwhile they’ll brag on Free Republic and elsewhere how they stayed home ... not realizing how they caused a default vote for the dem in their district.
The nonsense continues. Nobody seemed to learn any lessons from 8 years of Obama.
