Clint Eastwood

[Texan]

The Bridges of Madison County

My wife likes that movie. but all I see is glorifying a woman cheating on her husband. I kept hoping hubby would come home and catch her cheating and dump her.

I lost a bit of respect for Clint when he came out promoting Bernie.

I lost a lot of respect for him in 2010 at the Replican Convention...

I've yet to find any evidence that is readily available of him endorsing anybody other than Trump.

Then open your eyes it's been all over the net for days.

In otherwords it exists only in your imagination, does it, Black Orchid? I am looking for source for this. Not the second hand reporting of it.

I'm sorry your google capabilities are so limited, Brian, so open wide here comes the airplane. I did make a mistake though. It was Bloomberg that he endorsed.

Clint Eastwood is known as a Hollywood conservative, somewhat of a rarity in a town sometimes lambasted for its liberal exclusivity. He’s a registered Republican, but self-described Libertarian.

He’s also been a supporter of President Donald J. trump.

That, however, seems to have changed.

Eastwood sat down with the Wall Street Journal recently and appeared to switch allegiances by endorsing one of the Democratic candidates for president.

“The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there,” Eastwood told reporter Tunku Varadarajan.

Eastwood told Varadarajan that he approves of “certain things that Trump’s done" but said he hoped the president would “act in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names."

“I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level,” he said.

Eastwood and Trump have had a personal relationship for years. In the same interview, Eastwood tells a story of golfing with Trump and casino magnate Steve Wynn “many years ago.” In a 2016 interview with Esquire, Eastwood was asked about supporting a presidential candidate.

“I'd have to go for Trump,” he said. ”You know, because she's (Hilary Clinton) declared that she's gonna follow in Obama's footsteps. There's been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle. She's made a lot of dough out of being a politician. I gave up dough to be a politician. I'm sure that Ronald Reagan gave up dough to be a politician.”

So, it wasn't Bernie? Gosh, that's a relief. Bloonberg is better than empty chair, I suppose.
