Susan Sarandon: Hillary failed me
Actress Susan Sarandon says she is backing Bernie Sanders for the White House because of Hillary Clinton's vote to authorize the war in Iraq.
Sarandon described the 2002 war vote as the most consequential foreign affairs action of her lifetime.
"She failed me," Sarandon said of Clinton's vote in favor of the war.
"That wasn't just a mistake, it was a disaster."

Edit: This relates to the primaries because Krugman is supporting Hillary so it shows how he operates in politics.
In 2008 Paul Krugman called Obama supporters venom spewing cult-like hero worshipers

Homeless Woman Who Protested War Outside White House For 3 Decades Dies At Age 80
Concepcion Picciotto, a homeless anti-war protester has died at age 80, after occupying an area outside the White House for over 30 years. Ms. Picciotto is a Spanish immigrant, who is known by many as Connie or Conchita.
She began the longest running political protest in US history out front of the White House in 1981. Since then she has literally lived at the spot, spending 24 hours per day and 7 days a week at the vigil that she created.

Throughout the duration of her occupation, she has been attacked my police and citizens alike, arrested, and the government has many times attempted to eject her from the site. However, local support had managed to keep her where she was for 33 years.
