Susan Sarandon: Hillary Clinton “more dangerous” than Donald Trump

[RandySF]

Speaking with The Young Turks Politics Reporter Jordan Chariton in California, Sarandon made clear that she believed because of the lack of media scrutiny placed on Clinton’s record, she viewed Clinton as actually more dangerous than the blustery strong-man running on the Republican ticket.

“I believe in a way she is more dangerous,” Sarandon suggested without mentioning Trump’s name, after Chariton asked her why Clinton’s foreign policy went largely unchallenged during the Democratic primary.

1. She sounds bitter. I hope that Sanders can straighten her head out.

[MFM008]

2. The only thing I want to hear

From her is "toucha toucha toucha me I wanna be dirty...."

[Aerows]

39. That was just wrong. n/t

[Fresh_Start]

3. and there was no difference between Gore and Bush...says the "astute" sarandon

nothing other than
a gratuitous war
the loss of a 15+ year earlier start on addressing climate change


forgive me if I don't think much of sarandon's guidance or judgment

4. Naderite millionaire nutbag says something. nt

[madaboutharry]

5. That is an unhinged point of view.

It is also disingenuous. If the nation sinks into social and economic crisis due to Trump becoming president, a multi-millionaire movie actor would be very insulated from the ensuing chaos.

6. Thelma and Louise,right? Wasnt that about it?

[Tarc]

7. A white privilege one-percenter would not be affected either way by who the president is

The people that serve Susan Sarandon coffee, service Susan Sarandon's vehicles, clean Susan Sarandon's McMansions, prepare Susan Sarandon's hotel suites, and so on, however, are the ones that would suffer under a Trump presidency.

People who vote for candidates on the sole basis of what the candidate can do for them rather than what the candidate can do for one's fellow Americans are the epitome of ego-drive navel-gazers.

8. Wow, That Car Wreck Messed Her Up Good.

Poor thing.

[tandot]

9. Wow ... she is delusional

[SFnomad]

10. Susan Sarandon has done the Time Warp at least one too many times

[madaboutharry]

20. I just watched that three times!

Thanks.

[grossproffit]

11. I wonder why she and Tim divorced. They seem like a match made in, um, yeah.

[Grassy Knoll]

13. .

14. What did I miss ?

[Stinky The Clown]

15. No laughing. Poor little feller lost his way.

23. Juror #3 may not be serving on many juries any time soon.

Should have been 7-0 according to the TOS. Pretty obvious.

[Grassy Knoll]

27. Something Tells Me #3 Was A Fake Berner Donny Baby Hands Supporter.

[Ilsa]

16. I just want to

Hug her and shake her and ask her to please STFU.

She needs to stop this crap.

[NurseJackie]

17. That's just stupid.

[Demsrule86]

18. So the woman who helped inflict Bush on us

now wants Trump...Susan is dead to me ...like the greens.

[yardwork]

19. Sarandon is stupid.

[Demnorth]

21. Does a campaign vet its surrogates?

I don't know how this works, but this makes two actresses who aren't very good reps for their candidate.

[madaboutharry]

22. Who is the other one?

[RandySF]

24. Rosario Dawson

[RBInMaine]

25. Crazy Susan has driven off the cliff of sanity.

[apcalc]

26. Poor Susan....

[HooptieWagon]

28. Possibly so.

We know Clinton is going to continue the current wars, and appears eager to start new ones in addition. Trump is less predictable, but the worst-case scenario is no worse that what we know with certainty Clinton will do.

[RandySF]

30. "There is no difference between Bush nd Gore" - Sarandon in 2000

[HooptieWagon]

34. Obama has continued Bush's wars,...

...added Libya and Syria, largely continued Bush's tax cuts, allowed BP to poison the Gulf of Mexico, allowed frackers to poison water, and many other horrible Bush policies. The Left is quite justified in being pissed off at the corporatist Dems for being near-clones of Republicans. The establishment has ignored the Left for so long, little did the realize the level of discontent. When they finally responded, it was insults and condescension. They've blown their chance now. Fuck 'em.

[Lord Magus]

35. You do not represent the left, and your assessment is not fact-based.

Obama ended the Iraq occupation, and the war in Syria is not one that Americans are fighting. Nor is it one that Obama somehow started. And you think that Obama somehow "allowed" BP's already existing oil well to burst? Are you kidding me?

I take it then that you were one of the people who thought there was no difference between Bush and Gore in 2000? If so, then you share some of the blame for Iraq.

[tavernier]

29. She is certainly entitled to her

stupid opinion.

[Bleacher Creature]

31. That should be a disqualifying statement.

In my view, anyone who says something like that should never be taken seriously again.

[okasha]

32. She's delusional.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. what a fucking dumb thing to say. nt

[ThePhilosopher04]

36. She's right.

Hillary has already proven it as Senator and Secretary of State. Trump just talks a good game. They both suck ass but Hillary puts other people's money where her mouth is.

[Buzz cook]

38. "Hillary puts other people's money where her mouth is. "

Yes just another tax and spend liberal

[ThePhilosopher04]

40. I wish that were the case. I'm all for taxing and spending

My point was she takes the donor money and does their bidding.

[JCanete]

37. It's a complicated argument that I think she could successfully make. Not because

Trump isn't a disaster, but because Hillary is such an effective part of the destructive machinery that is our corporatocracy. Trump won't be popular. He won't be subtle. His stupid is out there for all of us to see. He will be fought and humiliated at every turn. Hillary? She'll be fought at every turn on bullshit like Bengazi, while she colludes with the banksters, prison lobbies, and just about every other big money industry on the shit that matters, and nobody will breathe a word about that stuff.


I know you guys love to jump on these sorts of comments because on the surface they can be made to sound so absurd, but I wish you would bother to explore beyond the surface. But I don't expect you to examine her assertion, certainly not for the sake of soundly refuting it, because piling on about the crazy lady is more your speed.

But hey, if anybody has something substantive to say, I'll listen!
