Bernie was great. Hillary is way better than people give her credit for.

It doesn't take living in Hollywood to recognize what Trump is. Anyone that's ever lived around vultures and snakes recognizes vultures and snakes.
It's more to do with how sheltered people are. If you've never lived around people trying to hustle you constantly you may not see Trump for what he really is.
Eh, it's more than that.
Some people really just want to be entertained. Some people just don't care and want to see what kind of a trainwreck Trump will be. Some people want Trump to burn it all down.

You are Living in a Information Bubble . Good Luck with that .
problem is what Seth described is pretty much every politician in a nutshell. Hilary was no better and she actually has quite the negligent record already if not straight up criminal. So how could they back her and act like it's any better than backing trump?

Seth MacFarlane Breaks Down Why Most Of Hollywood Hates Trump
m.huffpost.com...
“We live and work amongst his kind every day here. His tactics are those employed by the shiftiest of agents, lawyers, and publicists,” the actor said in a long note. “We’ve learned to recognize the blustery showmanship of a lying con man because we encounter it every day in our business.”
But as MacFarlane went on to explain, it’s important not to confuse Hollywood’s dislike for Trump with a lack of patriotism.
“Most of us love America a hell of a lot, and we don’t want America to be conned the way many of us have ourselves,” he wrote. “Trump is not of the People. Trump is of Hollywood. And that is the problem.”
I know... It's HuffPost and who cares what Seth MacFarlane thinks. Well the reason I post this is because this says so much what myself and many of my friends who work in Hollywood have felt. That Trump is like the slime of Hollywood. The guys who lure you in, scammers and con men who talk big and screw you over. It's just so obvious to us, whereas other people from middle of the country are impressed.
I agree with Seth. I think people in these big cities that have the glitz and showbiz bullsh*t recognize this kind of conman. I'm sure there are other big money king of the hill industries that have their version of it, too. He's the guy who takes advantage of everyone, cons people into working for free, brags about sh*t that makes you want to puke, and sues you or blacklists you as retaliation. He's the intimidator who threatens you'll never work in this town again if you don't bend to his will. He's the guy who promises the actress she's going to be a big star if she gets on her knees. He tells her everyone does it. And if by some miracle he happens to be attached to a project that wins an oscar, you just shake your head, knowing all of his awfulness is being validated.
I'm not saying Trump's done these things exactly. I'm saying you can recognize the Hollywood type. And Seth clearly recognizes it as do I.
And look at who Trump gravitates to.. Roger Ailes, sexual harasser and ex-king sh*t of FOX; Steve Bannon, the soulless alt-right platform embracer of hate. Slimy Hollywood producer types. Emphasis on slimy.
Everyone in Hollywood knows these are the guys to steer clear of. It's sad to see the country get duped by it... and right now so many of the guys who criticized him are now on their knees for him.
Trump is just too disgusting a human being. He's too much filth to respect. He's a guy you warn your friends about and ask your girl not to go meet to talk business-- because you know he's going to make a move on her.
I'm sorry so many of you are taken with this sort of sh#t stain of a human. It's pretty sad. I hope he turns out to be great but I have a feeling he'll be the most corrupting politician ever... not just in the traditional corruptive ways... but also in corrupting the hearts of many Americans.
Yea. Well, we care about how big our POTUS hands are.

No she doesn't come off as slimy. Her supporters appear to be hopeful optimists and realists who believe in the message and feel inspired-- where Trump's guys all seem to have anger issues and appear to have simply been bought.

Exactly, the problem is most political chearleaders cant argue on points or logic. They have to try to place you in a pretty little box to keep their fairy tale going.

You've never seen a Trump supporter I see. Oh you'll show me a fringe group that supports him...Clinton has very few actual supporters. Look at her rallies. Jesus, your threads are repetitive. The same anti-Trump tripe every time.
Except she has approximately 2.5 million more votes than Trump.

Good for you... in the meantime, I'll just say I agree with Seth, that Trump is easily recognizable to Hollywood people as a con man. The ego, the narcissism, the objectification of women, the entitlement, the low class braggart... the penchant for retaliation and litigation... He's the puke you have to navigate around. It's just sad to see so many good people duped by him.
I see the whole charade as choice between a criminal and an unknown
Question, considering the year and a half of campaigning and the promises to deport, torture, amp up police and surveillance, ban Muslims, silence the media... what was the unknown?
Hillary had all her sh#t spilled to the public and you know what? Wasn't that bad. I doubt Trump could have survived such a massive email leak. No way... that guy f#cks up talking out loud in public and on twitter... can you imagine what his personal and private emails would be like? Good thing for him, Hillary was the only one exposed. He even got to keep a lid on his taxes.
And yet she wasn't the one constantly b####ing about a rigged election.

Why, he is the voice of some characters in Family Guy...
It seems today
That all you see
Is violence in movies
And sex on T.V.
But where are those good old-fashioned values....
On which we used to rely?!
Lucky there's a family guy!
Lucky there's a man who
Positively can do
All the things that make us...
Laugh and cry!
He's our Fam-ily Guyyy!
Lol it's a bit ironic, just a little hey...
