Michael Chertoff Endorses Hillary Clinton For President
The lifelong Republican, who served under President George W. Bush, told Bloomberg he is endorsing the former secretary of state because of her experience on matters of national security. Clinton, he said, has good judgment and a strategic vision how to deal with the threats that face us.
Chertoffs endorsement of Clinton is surprising, to say the least. He was once the lead Republican counsel on the Senate Whitewater committee, which looked into one of the earliest Clinton scandals in search of a storyline.
What made Chertoff shun Donald Trump, the nominee of his own party? The real estate moguls poor performance in last weeks debate and his impulsive temperament in the wake of his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado:
Not only did he seem at the debate to lose his temper, but to get up at 3:30 a.m. and reach for your smartphone is to me a hysterical reaction. If youre president, the button you reach for is not the Twitter button; its the nuclear button, Chertoff told Bloomberg.
