Asked during an interview with Chris Hayes on Mondays All In With Chris Hayes if Sanders supporters would cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton were she to get the nomination over their preferred candidate, Sarandon said, I think Bernie would probably encourage people [to vote for Clinton], because he doesnt have any ego in this thing. But I think a lot of people are, Sorry, I just cant bring myself to do that.
Pushed to answer only for herself, Sarandon said, I dont know. Im going to see what happens.
Hayes then asked Sarandon how she could say that when the alternative could possibly be Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner. Some people feel Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately. If he gets in, then things will really explode, Sarandon said, a scenario Hayes called dangerous.
If you think its pragmatic to shore up the status quo right now, then youre not in touch with the status quo. The status quo is not working. Its dangerous to think we can continue the way we are with the militarized police force, with privatized prisons, with the death penalty, with the low minimum wage, with threats to womens rights, and think you cant do something huge to turn that around, Sarandon said. The country is not in good shape. If youre in the middle class, its disappearing.

Sarandon is a Sanders campaign surrogate, Webb was not speaking for any campaign.

Just like her vote for Nader in 2000 led to an immediate revolution when Bush was elected.

Nader voters helped Bush/Cheney win. It's amazing how Naderites are still in denial
