Egads! Susan Sarandon on Chris Hayes

Blathering on about bad Hillary-good Bernie. Some of the highlights: 1) many people she's talked to won't vote for Hillary because she is not honest, 2) Republicans have told her they will write in Bernie, 3) people are losing their jobs because of TPP and Hillary has always been on the wrong side of that issue, 4) Hillary got money from fracking, and 5) if Trump won the election then the revolution would really happen. The last point is when Chris Hayes woke up and said something about the Leninist model of revolution.

Bernie just makes her so happy! It was a strange "interview".

"I will vote for Hillary or Bernie or Bernie or Hillary, whoever the Democratic nominee is because the lesser of two evils is less evil and Donald Trump will not bring about the Revolution". (paraphrase)

It was a beautiful thing. Hayes gave him a big smile.

It was funny but disturbing. It was actually two issues (online) and if you answered a question saying you'd vote for Hillary you got the Bernie-centric one and vice versa.

But all is forgiven when he said he'd vote for either or both to keep Trump from bringing about that particular armageddon.

She sounded just like the fanatical, right up until she went into the Trump-will-bring-the-revolution spiel, at which time both Chris Hayes' and my own heads blew up.

I kept reminding myself she wasn't Shirley McLean claiming to have lived many lives, but she didn't sound far off.

I LOVE her as an actress and for many of her other efforts. She's being a total asshole this time around. She treated Delores Huerta like SHIT in NV. She has lost her fucking mind. And yes to my stalker, I'm back. And I know that anything I say is of "suspect" to be alerted. Knock yourself out.

not just Muslims. I think he has been challenged and responded online about this more than once, so evidence of his reactions to this should still be online.

And what I should have said is that I viewed the evisceration of stupid Republican views to more than offset his preference for Bernie. You may not agree.

...what Bernie's supporters have said about every actor, actress, singer, celebrity that has endorsed Hillary Clinton.

"Well I never liked her anyway. She's not a very good actress and I never enjoyed anything she's ever been in. She is really overrated, and I don't see why people think so highly of her. Blah blah blah blah"

Sound about right?

Judging from that, your description of Sarandon's appearance sounds about par for the course for a Sanders supporter.

No wonder she tends to prefer outsider candidates. That's how she continues to feel good about herself.

She blathers on as aimlessly as does Donald Drumpf. I respect her work as an actress, but as an "activist" - not so much.
