LeBron James, J.R. Smith campaign with Hillary Clinton in Ohio

Source: CBS News

NBA stars LeBron James and J.R. Smith of the Cleveland Cavaliers hit the trail with Hillary Clinton Sunday, rounding out a star-studded weekend for the Democratic nominee’s efforts in crucial battleground states.

James and Smith both took the stage ahead of Clinton in Cleveland, where the former secretary of state held a massive get-out-the-vote rally with a crowd of approximately 4,000 people.

“The number one main reason i’m here is because of Hillary and what she believes in,” James said Sunday, before talking about his childhood experiences in the inner city.

“I was one of those kids and I was around a community that was like ‘our vote doesn’t matter.’” continued James, who runs a youth-oriented philanthropic foundation based in Ohio. “But it really does. It really, really does. We have to get out and make sure we vote… we have to get out and be knowledgeable about what’s going on.”

so 1,700 locals can go to college and everything is paid for and that will help
tens of thousands have a better life.


Ohio has been turning out for early voting and Ohio will go blue for Hillary too.

No, Hillary doesn't need Beyonce or Jay-Z or LeBron James to fill a stadium either, you loser (Trump), but about all you got is Ted Nugent and the KKK.
