Christine Todd Whitman ran an anti-tax campaign which got her elected and created New Jersey's fiscal debacle as a high tax yet debt-ridden state. With the debt largely to government retirees whose pension contributions were shorted by a series of tricks and unrealistic investment growth projections.
But she appointed good judges - particularly Chief Justice Deborah Poritz - and the often unfairly maligned Peter Verniero. And he cared about environmental protection.
To today's Republicans that made her a RINO. But they, not she, are the frauds. - gwc
Calling my fellow Republicans: Trump is clearly unfit to remain in office
by Christine Todd Whitman (former Governor of New Jersey)
President Trump’s disgraceful performance in Helsinki, Finland, and in the days since is an indication that he is not fit to remain in office. Trump’s 2016 “America First” platform might be more aptly named “Russia First” after the disaster that occurred last week.
Trump’s turn toward Russia is indefensible. I am a lifelong Republican. I have campaigned and won as a member of the party, and I have served more than one Republican president. My Republican colleagues — once rightfully critical of President Obama’s engagement strategy with Russian leader Vladimir Putin — have to end their willful ignorance of the damage Trump is doing both domestically and internationally. We must put aside the GOP label, as hard as that may be, and demonstrate the leadership our country needs by calling on the president to step down.KEEP READING
