NYTimes: Meg Whitman says Trump could mean the end of democracy. She's with Hillary.

[pnwmom]

She's planning on making a very large donation and enlisting friends to do the same.

She noted that democracies had seldom lasted longer than a few hundred years and warned that those who say that “it can’t happen here” are being naïve.

Ms. Whitman also said she “absolutely” stood by her comments at a private gathering of Republican donors this year comparing Mr. Trump to Hitler and Mussolini, explaining that dictators often come to office through democratic means.

1. Interesting -

She revealed that Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had reached out to her in a phone call about a month ago, one of the first indications that Mrs. Clinton is aggressively courting Republican leaders

6. Good for Whitman for saying it like it is. Unfortunately

far too late -- after we've done tremendous, irretrievable damage to our standing in the world -- but at least she's doing it now.
