George Clooney Will Do Anything He Can to Help Make Hillary President

sked by Fusion’s Jorge Ramos if he will be supporting Clinton in 2016, Clooney said, “Sure, whatever she wants, whatever I way I can help.” The actor and activist, who helped raise $10 million for President Barack Obama in 2012, called her a “tremendous candidate” and said he would be “very happy” if she were president.

In response to his previous criticism of Clinton, Clooney stood by his description of her as “polarizing,” citing the Benghazi “scandal” as a prime example. “But I find that she is now — I think she’s ready to be president,” he said.

Nearly 10 years ago, actor George Clooney called Hillary Clinton “the most polarizing figure in American politics.” But as the 2016 presidential race gets underway, he says he will help her get elected in any way he can.

Asked by Fusion’s Jorge Ramos if he will be supporting Clinton in 2016, Clooney said, “Sure, whatever she wants, whatever I way I can help.” The actor and activist, who helped raise $10 million for President Barack Obama in 2012, called her a “tremendous candidate” and said he would be “very happy” if she were president.

In response to his previous criticism of Clinton, Clooney stood by his description of her as “polarizing,” citing the Benghazi “scandal” as a prime example. “But I find that she is now — I think she’s ready to be president,” he said.

12. For the same spurious causes they went on about Obama. Anything to derail the Democratic agenda.

You can count on them and their media to trot out anything they can to make her appear bad and deny her momentum on her initiatives. They did it to Bill.

They have done this to every Democrat. Obama and Hillary or Bernie if such is possible, have, and she will have, everything but the kitchen sink... no, plus the kitchen sink tossed at them.

The big money from the Koches and pals is not going to go away. Hillary wants a Constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, if so she may be able to get us to publicly funded elections.

We must give her a Congress that will work with her. The public didn't do it 2010 or 2014, so we still have work to do.

Why do I say they will do it? It's their track record. Continuous RF.

RIP Ambassador Stevens. He was known as a good ambassador.

15. OK, I self-deleted, when I first replied here I hadn't noticed what group the OP was in

Then your reply sent me off on my own approach to campaign finance reform since your post seemed off the mark to me. This group clearly is not the place, thought you might be interested in a genuine exchange of ideas, if so we can do it elsewhere.

as keeping the Presidency. Texas desperately needs a Dem candidate who can carry the down ticket roster along with her.
