53. Daily Mail - Liberal Oscar-winner Sarandon 'not sure' about Clinton over Trump

Tue Mar 29, 2016, 11:56 PM

Mar 2016

If there is any ambiguity, it is Susan Sarandon's fault. She could have said, "Of course, if it is Hillary versus Cruz/Trump, I would pick Hillary every time. I would not be happy about it, but it is an easy call."

Did she say that? No. She started talking about how a revolution brought about a Trump election might be preferable to the status quo. So, excuse most everyone who listened to that interview and interpreted it the same way whether they are liberal or right wing.

The actress said she was tired of the status quo and wanted a candidate who had not accepted money from the fracking industry, pharmaceutical giants or Wall Street.

She appeared to imply that Trump, a political outsider, could ultimately lead to more radical upheaval than Clinton, the 68-year-old former secretary of state bidding to make history as America's first female president.

"Some people feel Trump will bring revolution immediately," she said. "If he gets in, then things will really explode," she said.
