Bernie Sanders’ Hollywood Support Surges
Bernie Sanders’ Hollywood Support Surges, But Can He Steal Hillary Clinton’s Spotlight?“There are just as many celebrities backing Bernie Sanders [as there are backing Clinton],” actor Jonathan Sadowski tells TheWrap
It used to be that you couldn’t find too many Hollywood celebrities who were willing to go on the record as Bernie Sanders supporters. Even as Hillary Clinton’s numbers were sliding amid news reports that she used a private email server during her years as secretary of state, Hollywood remained squarely in Clinton’s camp.
But these days more and more A-list names are publicly coming out in support of the Vermont senator, something unfathomable just a few months ago.
“I witnessed 20,000 people screaming for this guy at the L.A. Sports Arena and he wasn’t even wearing leather pants,” The Doors drummer John Densmore told TheWrap. “Here was a 73-year-old disheveled Vermont independent senator packing up a stadium. I knew something was happening.”
Densmore was so impressed, he recently turned the first U.S. public screening of his film about corporate greed, “Window of Opportunity,” into a Sanders fundraiser.

And, to be honest, clicking on the 
of several other threads that seem to be self-kicking.
Go Bernie!
It's one of the reasons Bernie does not rely on TV ad buys as much as HRC.
He doesn't need to.
