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.

Excellent. Smoke all of them out into the open.
Well done, Mr. President.

“..Former Gov. Christie Whitman, a lifelong Republican...”
Lifelong Squish RINO, is more like it.
Sit down, little missy ... and stifle yourself.
Christine “The Rino” Whitman reveals her real colors....
Whacha got in your closet there Christine that you want desperately to cover up
Cmon now, you know were gonna find out soon enough..
Ooops, POTUS says no deals, Ya missed the boat
Sucks to be you!
Another entitled elitist btch.
Guess what, Witless ... If the GOP loses the House in November, it will be precisely BECAUSE weak Congressmen like Leonard Lance lose their races.
Stockholm Syndrome Christine has been hostage in NJ for so long that she has embraced her captors.
Always knew she’s a lib. Feminist and pro-gay, pro-EPA, pro-Kyoto scam, pro-abortion bushbot.
Sickening looking back on it all. I bet this pampered princess voted for every war and every bad trade deal as she bloviates from the wastelands of New Jersey.
Bush League Republicans only care about preserving the open border.
The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) is paramount.
You know a Republican is bad when they make ex-Gov Christie look good.
She doesn’t like a president who makes career politicians look like feckless, useless fools. Donald Trump accomplishes more in a long weekend at his golf course in New Jersey than most U.S. Senators accomplish over three decades in Washington.
GOPe = RAT = UniParty = Deep State = Communist
One of their own actually came out and voiced it.
Whadda commie POS.
- Lady Whitman
I’m starting to wonder if anything good can come from New Jersey. Both of their senators are Democrats, one is a crook, and the other is a flaming homosexual. As for the Republicans, it appears they are all RINOs.
She's had a lifetime at the country club, eating cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and clucking with the other hens at the Urban League white elephant sale.
Seriously, I can’t believe Whitman is still around. I thought she checked out years ago.
That’s a nice picture of Frank Perdue!
Be thankful Donald Trump is the president. If we had gotten any other Republican to win we would still be contending with that person beholden to the Deep State. President Trump has forced all these sellout Deep State Repukes out in the open where we can finally see them.
