Republican Meg Whitman makes campaign debut for Hillary Clinton in Colorado
Meg Whitman made her debut on the campaign trail as Hillary Clinton’s most vocal Republican supporter at a Tuesday event in Denver and didn’t mention Donald Trump’s name once.
The Hewlett-Packard executive and former California gubernatorial candidate declared she is “all in” for Clinton. And she made clear in her remarks at Union Station that she doesn’t think Trump is qualified to be president, repeatedly mentioning “temperament” as an important factor.
“If you are a lifelong Republican, it’s hard to come across (the partisan divide),” she said. “But I decided that this year it was clear to me that Secretary Clinton’s temperament, leadership experience and commitment to America’s foundational values make her the far better choice for president.”
The softer tone contrasted with her eye-catching remarks about Trump at a private event in June, in which she compared him to Hitler and Mussolini, and earlier this month when she announced her support for Clinton and called Trump “a dishonest demagogue.”
