During the primaries, the lifelong Republican was the national finance chairwoman of Gov. Chris Christie's campaign.WhileChristie has since become a spokesman for Republican nominee Donald Trump, Whitman couldn't stomach Trump.So earlier this month, Whitman surprised the political world by endorsingClinton, lambasting Trump, and encouraging other Republicans to do the same."I urge all Republicans to reject Donald Trump this November," Whitmanwrote.She is now trying to lead other Republicans who are disenfranchised with Trump to back Clintonnot just with their votes, but with donations.WhenWhitmanendorsed Clinton, she also promised to helprally support and fundraise for the candidate, and this first campaign speech shows her making good on that promise.Lifelong Republican @MegWhitman in Denver, "Hillary would do a far better job in creating jobs and for our economy." pic.twitter.com/BLNkEi0PxB' Emmy Ruiz (@emmyruiz) August 30, 2016Whitman told attendeesat a breakfast with Colorado business leaders that "Hillary would do a far better job in creating jobs and for our economy."She also said that Clinton"has the three C's ' compassion, commitment, and courage."In an interview with TV news reporter Kyle Clark of 9News, she said that aftershe helps Clinton defeat Trump, she's going to focus on rebuilding the GOP.
