Actor Samuel L. Jackson said Sunday that he is backing Hillary Clinton for president next year because Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has no chance of winning the White House.
“I’m forever a Democrat, you know, and I’m gonna vote for Hillary,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I mean, I love Bernie — Bernie’s a man of the people — but he can’t win,” Jackson continued. "So I gotta cast my vote for a person that can keep those other people from winning, okay?"
Jackson argued that Clinton’s past political experience gives her a significant edge over other White House hopefuls from both parties.
“Hillary kind of knows the job — she can hit the ground running,” the movie star said of the Democratic presidential front-runner. "She doesn’t have a huge learning curve like [President Obama] had or some other people had.”
“Hopefully she can open up the skeletal files on these do-nothing assholes that go to work like four times a year and not vote on things and threaten them with whatever she and [former President Bill Clinton] uncovered on them years ago and make them do something and we can get something done.”
Jackson who is a frequent golf partner with Donald Trump had this to say about the GOP front runner:
“[Trump is running on] hate,” Jackson said of the GOP front-runner. "There’s absolutely nothing I can do."
“There are some other people that aren’t as open about what he’s saying that are running also, you know, that are just as crazy,” the performer said of the GOP’s 2016 field.
Sounds like Jackson knows his politics.
Now I am really wishing that Jackson would show up at a Trump rally all decked out in his Jules Winnfield costume from the movie Pulp Fiction and when confronted just launches into his soliloquy from the movie:
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you."
Then we will just see how tough these lily white Trump supporters are for reals.
My guess is that there will be lot of soiled pairs of underwear in that group.
Aren't these the people that embrace open-carry?
ReplyDeleteI mean - speaking of 'pants-shitting'...
Randall - Yes,I can see Sammy,in his Pulp Fiction persona,make those gun-happy morons like the idiot palin and draft-dodger turd nugent,shit their pants on the spot!!
DeleteAs a democrat who has never missed an election, I will get out and vote for the democratic ticket no matter who the candidate selected is.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I remember rushing to the polls after work and casting a paper ballot vote for the Kerry/Edwards ticket.
DeleteIt was of course, to no avail, since the nation and the entire world received four more long years of Bush and Cheney.
I do wish people would stop saying that Bernie can't win. I think if he won the primary, everyone would get behind him. That said, I will vote for whichever Democrat is the nominee. Anything else would be unthinkable and insane.
ReplyDeleteBernie made a mistake in his campaigning. HIs first issue he decided to talk about was legalizing weed. Personally, I think there were about 100 issues more important than weed and so do many others.
DeleteDoes it really matter which issue he talked about first? Most of them are inter-related. People should vote their conscience instead of trying to be kingmakers. I think it's stupid, in the primary, I am going to vote negatively. To say say I am going to vote for this person because I don't think the other person can win the general.
Delete@anon 11:07 am
DeleteYes it does. It matters to me and many others. Frankly I could care less about you buying dope legally or illegally.
this is not an encouraging endorsement. Jackson plays golf with the jerk. He swears like a trooper to make his point. He diminishes Bernie out of hand, thus using his "star power" to cancel out the good Bernie is doing.
ReplyDeleteAnd then you, the atheist, Gryphen, ask him to throw down some religious bullshit to strike fear in a bunch of losers, like his fictional character is the Man.
Sheeesh! Is there no nobler reason to get out and vote than because we're some m-f-ers who don't play gold with President Skroob? I'm not impressed.
what a world..
Actually that's fake "religious bullshit" that Tarantino made up for Jackson's character, so it would be perfect for the Trump supporters who could not tell the difference anyway.
Deletethanks for clarifying that; it does improve the point you were making.
DeleteIt's still just a fiction (pulp fiction indeed), and this is real life. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the joke that is this Presidential campaign.
Pulp Fiction is reality that hurts so bad, you have to laugh to keep from crying.
Ugh. Sammy j. Nooooo
ReplyDeleteNice language. Classy.
ReplyDeleteGet out and VOTE. You know these people will.
ReplyDeleteParanoia in one and the other hates equal pay.. go figure. c4p trudges reluctantly into a new year, 1777.
This is more attempted pre-conditioning of the American people by our government, so when Obama and company hit the "Kill Switch" on our Power Grid and internet and Try and blame Iran erroneously, the American people will more readily ( In theory at least ), go along with the Martial law and the confiscation of our Firearms, Food etc., and Enslavement that will accompany it.
(Hillary re Obamacare)
Great. And now she has a plan to "fix it ", not repeal it albeit. These people are clowns. Her twitter feed is full of "paid maternity leave" and minimum wage increase and equal pay positions. And they wonder why jobs are fleeing the country.
Hillary has always been for single payer and that will "fix" any issues.

"He can't win" LOL. The Hillary supporters were saying the same thing about the black man with the funny African name and middle name Hussein in Dec 2007. Hillary supporters have learned nothing. How does it help Hillary to have a Hollywood star best known for a vulgar movie line about snakes and credit card ads? Is this supposed to get her the black vote? HA
ReplyDelete@10:18 Do you give any thought to your comments, or are they meant to be jokes?
DeleteLooks like he's pushing his new film, "The Hateful Eight."
ReplyDeleteLOL I only clicked on the comments to enjoy the whining and complaining of the Bernie Sanders supporters. They really believe they can get Bernie Sanders elected if only they trash Hillary Clinton enough...
ReplyDelete...sometimes you'd swear they were the Sarah Palin cult in disguise.
Just get your butts out and vote whomever wins the nomination. Now's not the time for apathy. Actors are entitled to their opinions just as much as everyone else, I hope more speak up, especially those who've had interactions in real life with the frontrunner on the clowncar, you know, word on the street is he's very weak.
