"It's like somebody went to Woodstock and then decided to run for President..."

Jeff Daniels commenting on BS's campaign just now on "With All Due Respect" (MSNBC).

He was on to talk about his new Broadway play "Blackbird", and the political scene.



He's a solid Hillary supporter and said : "I feel safe in her hands in this dangerous world".

Going around college campuses and promising young people free stuff that he knows damn well won't get past Congress

I guess he'll say anything that keeps those 27$ donations flowing

to hold large rallies of young people can somehow translate into winning with an agenda that is either non-mainstream, or in this case, fantasy.

While Clinton goes to hard-pressed areas like Camden, Sanders bee-lines right for the main Rutgers campus in New Brunswick.

And I liked the fact that he pointed out that BS's plans are totally naïve in the face of Congress.

I basically agree with everything he said.

Also, my sister saw the play. Said it was devastating. I don't know if I could sit through it, but she said he was amazing.
