Susan Sarandon clarifies she would NEVER vote for tRump.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by tammywammy (a host of the General Discussion forum).

NY DAILY NEWS
After an eyebrow-raising interview that seemed to imply she might be resigned to Team Trump, Susan Sarandon clarified her comments amid criticism from fellow celebs.

“LOL that I would ever vote (Donald) Trump,” the staunch Bernie Sanders supporter tweeted Tuesday evening. “Of course I would never support Trump for any reason. If you watch the interview you’ll see that’s not what I said.”

When asked during a recent MSNBC sit-down how she would vote if Hillary Clinton faced off with the thin-skinned tycoon in the general election, Sarandon had replied, “I don’t know; I’m going to see what happens … Really.”

But the actress on Wednesday was quick to point out to her skeptics — among them Jamie Lee Curtis and “Will and Grace” star Debra Messing — that her Sanders devotion and Clinton aversion didn’t make her a Trump stumper.

“For those passionate, principled independents & first-time voters who would not be voting if it weren’t for Sanders & whose interests HC doesn’t represent, it is a dilemma,” she wrote.

old stuff...like outdated polls, old, unlikely scenarios, etc. Here's some older stuff they don't bring up, though:

Where are the Wall Street speech transcripts?

...and you live in a state where the vote is even near close, you have voted for Trump.

Period.

They are the ones who have stacked the deck, and may lose the election due to it.

I'll take care of a woman who is toying with the idea of nut hugging Trump, and blames Hillary for her judgement on Iraq...even though she supported John Edwards for doing the same thing.

Unhinged.
