Susan Sarandon Pins Hopes For Bernie Sanders Win on Hillary Clinton Having ‘Health Issues’

[RandySF]

Even as the sands run out of the Bernie Sanders campaign’s delegate hourglass, the upstart Democratic presidential candidate’s surrogates continue to hope for an outcome that results in Sanders becoming the nominee instead of Hillary Clinton. One of Sanders’ most vocal and vociferous surrogates has now taken those hopes to a dark place. In a recent interview with Larry King, Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon said she’s still not ready to say she would vote for Hillary over Donald Trump, and told King that she’d “see what happens.”

Asked what could happen to give Bernie the nomination, here’s what Sarandon said:

So many things. She could have health issues. She could not get the nomination.

1. Jesus F'n Christ!!!

Did she really say that?!!!! Its fine to not support her but to even allow to slip from your mouth the possibility that she could get a health issue so serious to prevent her from getting the nomination is sick. This is a mother and grandmother. Such a trashy thing to say!!!! As much as I hated both George Bush Presidents and the Romneys I would NEVER stoop so low as to suggest that.

6. Because we're not low class without integrity or principles.

[sarae]

16. Agreed...

That was my reaction to reading it - WTF?!!!! I expect this shit from the Right, but...what am I saying, I guess this primary has shown us we can expect the same shit from the Left, now too. It's just SO disappointing. I've lost respect for so many people in the last few months.

2. The last interview I saw of her. I think it was on Colbert.

She appeared to be drunk.

3. Sarandon keeps shaming herself and showing off that burnie's a poor Loser.

ThanksRSF~

[Surya Gayatri]

24. Yes, put it to use wherever possible! LOL! May it go viral!

[Cha]

25. Everybody knows who the B stands for..

When I wrote "loser".. it came to mind. lol He's the biggest loser because he's such a poor one.. him and his surrogates/fans.

And, we know how someone can lose with grace and dignity.. that ain't burnie.

Thank you again, Surya~

4. What an ugly wish to make. That shit has a way of boomeranging....

Who was the candidate who had to go under the knife during the campaign? Hint-it wasn't Hillary....

7. Oh you're so sweet Susan

What did Tim Robbins ever see in you?

[Cha]

29. The same thing she saw in him.

[okasha]

8. What a malicious idiot she is.

[UtahLib]

9. Every time she opens her mouth,

she leaves no doubt as to what a nasty little beast is.

[hrmjustin]

10. One of her friends needs to do an intervention.

Te
L hrr to stop commenting on politics for awhile.

[Thinkingabout]

11. Hoping for Hillary to have health issues thinking Sanders would get

The nomination is very deluded, Hillary would release her delegates to someone like Biden, O'Malley or many other qualifed Democrats, they will not default to Sanders. Over three million votes against Sanders, we the people have spoken.

[DesertRat]

12. Disgusting!

[Demsrule86]

13. Honestly

Susan Sarandon has cross the line.

[BootinUp]

14. What a nasty thought. She needs to go hide somewhere. nt

[sheshe2]

15. What a dispicable comment.

Susan, your comment was beneath contempt.

[CajunBlazer]

17. It was an awful comment, but it really speaks to the desperation of the Sanders camp

If that is the only ledge you can cling to, you are admitting that your candidate is in deep and serious trouble.

By the way, who is more likely to encounter health problems, 68 year old Hillary Clinton or 74 year old Bernard Sanders.

[sarae]

18. Exactly...

Have you ever noticed that people attack Hillary for things her male competitors are much more guilty of? Trump (of all people!) attacks her for "abusing women", Susan Sarandon claims Hillary has health problems (compared to 74 y.o. Bernie). AND, since women typically outlive men, that 6 year difference is actually more like 9 years.

[CajunBlazer]

20. Life expectancies - I looked it up

The difference between men and women in those age brackets are not wide as you will expect.

A 68 year old woman's life expectancy is 17.8 years

A 74 year old man's life expectancy is 11.5 years

Difference: 6.3 years, just slightly larger than their actual age differences.

However,

The chances of a 74 year man dying in the next year are 3.44%

Also the chances of a 68 year woman dying in the next year are 1.35%

So the chances of Sanders having a fatal illness is more than 2.5 times that of Hillary.

(Not that there is anything wrong with that )

[sarae]

22. Thanks for researching it!

LOL @ your last sentence.

Yes, why don't they ever mention the gender difference when they mention how "old" Hillary is? 6.3 years could easily make a difference between finishing & not finishing a term as Prez.

I actually don't have a problem with either of their ages, but it's absurdly hypocritical to call her age/health into question when you consider her competitor!

19. Susan Sarandon spit balling possibilities....

28. That's too funny, Rose.. thank you!

36. Too funny, but don't give Sarandon any more ideas :)

[NastyRiffraff]

21. She needs an intervention

If she's not abusing drugs or alcohol, she is just a horrible human being. Okay, it's the horrible human thing. I wouldn't wish ill health even on Susan Sarandon. Financial woes, maybe. Public humiliation almost certainly. Not bad health.

[SaschaHM]

23. She and Tim are two nutty peas in the same pod.

They probably go divorced because one of them had a moment of sanity and decided not to pray to their shrine of Nader before dinner and that was way too reasonable for the other to go along with. I hope she is kept as far away from the DNC as possible.

[TeamPooka]

26. And monkeys might fly out of my butt. Nt

[BlueMTexpat]

27. She must finally have realized

that the Indictment Fairy is a myth.

Shame on her!

[Cha]

30. Tweet that Rose posted up thread..

"Killed by swarm of bees.. Struck by meteor.. Sucked into black hole.. Spontaneously combust..." Susan Sarandon, spitballing possibilities

Certainly lightened my mood.

[BlueMTexpat]

31. I thought it was great too.

Some SBS supporters sound so much like Trump supporters, it is VERY difficult to tell the difference.

If Susan S's name had not been associated with the quote at the outset, my first thought would have been that it came from a Trump GOPer.

VERY sorry state of things, IMO.

[Cha]

32. Yeah, Sarandon has certainly devolved even from telling Hillary

supporters they could "fuck off" or whatever she said to us.

She's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[BlueMTexpat]

33. Her tantrum is showing.

[Cha]

34. Yes, Veruca Salt territory..

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. Ha ha

[NurseJackie]

38. Sarandon vile behavior reminds me of this ...

[NurseJackie]

37. Isn't she horrid? If a Hillary supporter posted some similar sentiment about Bernie ...

... the post would be promptly hidden. But when it comes to HillaryHate, anything goes, eh?

[ladym55]

39. Sarandon has jumped the shark

I thought she was childish, inappropriate, and obnoxious on Colbert. I was appalled at the film clip where she says that Trump will bring the revolution faster.

It really seems like she is drunk, on drugs, or a combination of the two. She is just not appropriate. Time for her to get off the talk show circuit and go home.
