Cher (an ardent hillary supporter) says she's now torn between Hillary Clinton & Bernie Sanders

Wednesday, Cher said that after blocking people on Twitter she started to "feel uneasy" and went into "marathon research mode" with an open mind. She said that "in the quiet of the night," she discovered that Sanders' beliefs "mirrored" her own more than she had realized. The singer said she was "shaken to [her] core" by this revelation.

Cher went on to talk about how much she liked and respected Hillary Clinton, whom she spent time with when Clinton was running for Senate. Cher said that she hopes the woman she fought hard for is still there, but that now she's faced with a difficult decision.

"Realize now that I have MUCH common ground and new respect for [Bernie Sanders]," said Cher, adding that she's torn up. She has not, however, changed her opinion of Sanders' campaign manager Weaver.

Democratic-leaning Hollywood celebrities have divided allegiances between Sanders and Clinton. Lena Dunham, America Ferrera, Olivia Wilde, Demi Lovato and Will Ferrell have all expressed their support for Clinton while Sanders has Rosario Dawson, Sarah Silverman, Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee and Mark Ruffalo in his corner.


*CAUTION* This is an AOL link, and the auto-play video on the main page talks about how Hillary is using Katy Perry's "assets" to garner attention. I see this as objectification on the part of the Clintons, and wanted to warn others that its in the video.

Dear Cher:

It pains me to have to point this out to you but - Weaver isn't running for president. Hope that clears things up for you.

Sincerely,

Phlem

of the supporters of a particular lying corporate toady.

And watch them scream with glee when she throws them a socialist bone reminding them who they voted for while making them poorer and shipping their remaining jobs overseas at the same time.

I am surprised...cautious but surprised.

Her Twitter pops up on, I think it's Bette Midler's page...so I looked a couple of times to see epic Hill, all caps, rants...never went back.

One can only hope.
