Leading ladies such as Viola Davis offer heartfelt endorsements in a video that compares the Democratic frontrunner to the characters from Rhimes hit showshttp://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/10/hillary-clinton-shonda-rhimes-kerry-washington-viola-davis-endorsement
Shonda Rhimes, the high-profile TV executive behind Greys Anatomy and Scandal, has given a big celebrity boost to Hillary Clinton with a new endorsement ad featuring the three leading ladies from her mega-hit shows.
Rhimes along with Kerry Washington from Scandal, Ellen Pompeo from Greys Anatomy and Viola Davis from How to Get Away With Murder all offer heartfelt endorsements for Clinton in a dramatic video that compares the Democratic frontrunner to the strong female characters Rhimes has created on her shows.
I make television filled with the kind of characters I imagine we all can be, Rhimes says in the new ad.
Our characters are on television, Washington says.
But the real world has Hillary Clinton, Rhimes says.

Make more room UTB for some great females - in and out of their TV roles!

I am a Grey's Anatomy tragic and Scandal has me hooked too, even though it has some serious flaws. And I love Shonda Rhimes more than all her shows!!
The characters are just as they say, brilliant but flawed. This is such an amazing endorsement! I LOVE it.
