2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNYTimes: Meg Whitman says Trump could mean the end of democracy. She's with Hillary.
She's planning on making a very large donation and enlisting friends to do the same.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/03/us/politics/meg-whitman-hillary-clinton.html?_r=0
She noted that democracies had seldom lasted longer than a few hundred years and warned that those who say that it cant 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.

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

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