Variety: Clint Eastwood Ditches Donald Trump for Mike Bloomberg in 2020 Election
This ought get Traitor tRump in a tangerine rage.
From Variety: Clint Eastwood Ditches Donald Trump for Mike Bloomberg in 2020 Election
Longtime Republican Clint Eastwood is pulling support from Donald Trump in the 2020 election. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the actor-director signaled that he thinks a different candidate would be the better choice.
The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there, he said.
After endorsing Mitt Romney and famously delivering a speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention to an empty chair that represented Barack Obama, Eastwood never officially backed Trump. In a 2016 interview, he expressed displeasure with Trump and Hillary Clinton, saying theres much funny business on both sides of the aisle.
He praised Trump at the time because he was onto something and secretly everybodys getting tired of political correctness, kissing up.
Were really in a py generation. Everybodys walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things werent called racist, he said.
Now, hes changed his tune a bit on Trump.
While he approves of certain things the president has done, he wishes that he would act in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level, he said.

Other than that, Clint Eastwood was never a hardcore bigot like trump. I guess he's seen the error of his ways.

(3,401 posts)10. This seems to be the most plausible option
People, we need royal flush (house, Senate, whitehouse), in this election to overcome the cheating, fraud, suppression and intimidation at the polls.
We must pull in the Never Trumpers to do it too.
Lets put Bloomberg out there with signed limitations and flush Trumpers out.
