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.

Some of Trump’s best Twitter messages have been posted on Saturday mornings when he is spending the weekend at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. :-)
She broke the camera with that one!
It sounds to me like she wants McCain’s old “maverick” job. Geez.
Bitch.
That chick is thoughouly confused! What an asshole and a disgrace !
and she’s relevant why???
People in NJ do the strangest things: they continually vote against their own self-interest.
“..she’s relevant why???...”
Because she’s making democrats happy.
Classic Rino POS.
She’s like McCain, full of shit.
She’s a libtard that set the State of NJ on a track toward Bankruptcy.
Hmmm!? When’s Opening Day for Turkey?
As we already knew - she’s just being open and honest about it. There are even Republicans running who would not entirely mind it if they lost in order to vindicate their position that Trump is “destroying the GOP and the country.” The narrative is a numbers game - if they don’t get the losses they are hoping for, their narrative is not just damaged, but destroyed.
Agree with you...it did not take much smoke to expose Whitman. She was a loser governor and a flaccid, if you can use that word to describe a woman, politician/republican. (note small “r”)
She was no moderate. She was a ZERO.
MAGA President Donald J. Trump. (I just like to spell his title and name)
Whitman... with Republicans like this who needs Dem enemies.
So it is her view that Americans should suffer under a Democratic Congress so that Republican moderates can topple Trump supporters down the line? Whatever happened to doing what’s best for the country?
Nailed it methinks.
President Trump is fleshing them all out into the open. They either have to expose themselves for what they truly are or go against their real party which is NOT the republican party.
I thought Christine Tod Whitman was a snake back when she was governor of NJ.
Yet another nitwit .
Someone just popped up on Trump’s radar. NSA has everything. She better hope she’s clean.
