Mary Matalin, a high-profile political pundit and veteran strategist for the Republican Party, changed her party registration to Libertarian from Republican, she said on Thursday.
But in an interview with Bloomberg, which reported on the switch, she emphasized that her decision was not connected to Donald J. Trumps being the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
She described herself as a voter as a provisional Trump and a never Hillary, referring to the leading Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Pressed on Thursday about why she switched political parties, Ms. Matalin told Bloomberg Politics that she was a Republican in the Jeffersonian, Madisonian sense.
Im not a Republican for a party or a person, she continued. The Libertarian Party represents those constitutional principles that I agree with. Of Mr. Trump, Ms. Matalin said she liked his attitude and what she knew of his economic policies, adding: I just dont know enough. I think not only could he win, I think he could win in a landslide if he would stop his high school boy antics with women; otherwise hes going to force suburban women to Hillary.
She said conservatives were angry after two successive presidential elections in which they lost and with what appeared to be no response from Washington as the party was falling apart.

No kidding
Married to a democrat of today....never
I don’t think I could even copulate with an ultra hot one like a goofy actress
It’s just harsh a divide now
I lost all respect for her when she married the scumbag.
Yup, a bazooka would revolutionize it. Or, a line from Vietnam: “We had to burn the village to save it.”
We won a great battle, but the war goes on. They have always controlled the party and always will.
I hope Trump is a solid POTUS. He still has to endure a billion dollars of negative ads. If anyone can do it, he can.
True Mary sort of sealed her fate when she joined forces with the serpent head.But she does make a good point above,I still think Trump will win in a landslide.
She was removed from the Bush campaign. I saw her and Cueball on TV bitching about it and Cueball saying how stupid they were for dropping her. They dropped her BECAUSE she was married to a scum liberal.
Now, Cheney must have hired her later. That shows me Cheney’s lack of judgment. I wouldn’t want anyone working for me who shared secrets with an enemy. And Carville IS an enemy.
