Trump 'unfit' for office and Republicans should urge him to quit, says ex-N.J. Gov. Christie Whitman
The Star Ledger of Newark ^ | 07.23.18 | Matt Arco

President Donald Trump's interaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin was a "disaster,"  "detrimental to the country" and the strongest evidence yet that "the president (should) step down."

Those are the words of former New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman, a Republican, who penned a blistering op-ed in the Los Angeles Times this weekend calling on fellow GOPers to put country over party and dump Trump.

"In this election year, opposing Trump is risky for GOP candidates," Whitman wrote. "Invoking the need to choose country over party is an overused trope. But it is essential now."

The piece was a reaction to Trump's refusal last week to publicly rebuke Putin for meddling in the 2016 presidential during a summit between the two. Trump and Putin "spent a great deal of time" discussing allegations of Russian election meddling as they met for several hours on July 16, the U.S. president said at a joint press conference in Finland that day.

But Trump did not strongly condemn the interference efforts, which U.S. intelligence agencies insist did occur, including the hacking of Democratic emails, the subject of the recent indictments of 12 Russians.

In fairness, let's remember there were a lot of notable Democrats who were vocal opponents of both Obama and Hillary, constantly criticizing them and calling for them to step down.

For example, there was...um...er...

Come to think of it, I guess there weren't any.

Because Democrats, unlike their stupid counterparts, understand the importance of party loyalty.

I recently bought a wreck of a house for a song that I sang myself. Anyways, one of the first things I did was rip out everything in the kitchen, including walls and floor. There were bugs everywhere (roaches and others). I was ready and armed with extra-strength bug killin’ in a gallon spray rig.... While most were running away as they were dying a horrible bug-death, a few actually turned around and charged me as if they would stop the assault....

I have likened myself to Trump and the bugs were the swamp.

All is well now and only the occasional fly enters the house. The end.

She will be remembered for her one stellar accomplishment:

“On January 26, 1995 then-New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman dedicated a rest stop along Interstate 295 in Springfield Township to Howard Stern. “

Another "Republican" advocate of surrendering the Federal courts to a few hundred Lefty federal judge-presidents, who will run the country from the replica Oval Offices in their judge's chambers, issuing nation-wide injunctions to do this or that.

Somebody ought to curbstomp the brains out of Witless' ears, so she can live up to her nickname.

The president probably has something on her that is huge and she wants him gone before it comes to light

Probably involved with child sex slavers.

The RINO GOPe has become psychotic and delusional. This old bag is all they have left for sacrifice. She is laughable.

May Christie Witless lie at the bottom of a sewage slurry pond until the end of time or until the bacteria eats her; whichever comes first.

Is this the same Christine Todd Whitman that the voters found unfit for office?

Bush League Republicans are desperate to save the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

Both parties have been carrying out an intentional policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders.

She voted for Hillary so she has no say in the Republican Party.
