2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Michael Moore: I’ll support Hillary Clinton if she’s the nominee [View all]
Politico:Michael Moore is an avowed Bernie Sanders supporter and has been for years. But while the outspoken filmmaker and liberal activist says hes with Sanders till the end, he quickly notes hell support former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if shes the nominee.
Oh absolutely. Shes better than the alternative and she will do some good," Moore said in an interview on Sunday. "Unfortunately I cant support her during the primaries because she voted for the Iraq war and shes not really going to fix corporate America and Wall Street. Theyll still be calling the shots in her White House so that makes it difficult for people who care about those issues."
Moore said he's been a Sanders supporter for decades, having campaigned for him while Sanders was running for Congress in Vermont. Clintons enthusiasm gap problem, he said, is reflective of how he feels about her: Shes better than the alternative.

President Obama I'm guessing has blood on his hands because of the decisions he's made.
