Christine Whitman just soft-endorsed Hillary (HILLARY GROUP)

And said she knows other GOP women who will break for HRC, especially if Trump is the nom, which is what I expected to happen.

If Hillary performs as I think she will ST, and Trump does well, I expect polls for La Hillary should start edging up.

I told Starry earlier that it would be very interesting if someone like Whitman or Olympia Snowe spoke at the Dem Convention.

Key excerpt:

First, she says she's planning to vote for Hillary Clinton if Trump gets the nod. She's keeping her options open, in case we find out something new and horrible about Hillary. But that's her plan now:

"You'll see a lot of Republicans do that," Whitman told me. "We don't want to. But I know I won't vote for Trump."

She will vote for Rubio or Carson or Kaisch, and would have voted for Carly, Jeb, or Christie. She has Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

She will not vote for Trump or Cruz in the GE. She won't vote Dem, either. She just won't vote.

And she is a complete wingnut.
