..."believes his own advertising".

members, they came from a tradition of Republicans and just can't "quit" the label, even though I think most are horrified at Trump. That was the way with all my uncles and my father and quite a few of my cousins since, though I'd bet my last dollar that most of the "aunts" secretly voted Dem all those decades. I certainly have no doubt my Mom did.

That's Trumps base.

'nuff said.

we would have thought it was funny.

I can understand a Republican backing Romney. But voting for a crazed sewer dweller like Trump? I really just don't get it.

Williams would talk to a chair as a joke = funny. Eastwood talks to a chair as a chastisement does not equal funny.

I can't watch any of these hardcore Republicans any more.

That's what the chair thing was all about in his own words. That Obama is not a forceful leader and that political correctness has paralyzed the process. The reality is that people like Eastwood voting time and time again for tea party politicians have paralyzed the process. These people can't work with each other, let alone to start working with Obama. Eastwood is the cause of his own misery and he can't face blaming himself...hence Trump. Trump will somehow through force of will get the GOP in congress to work together. We know how that's working out by how many didn't come to the convention this year and those that did like Ted Cruz receiving him less than classy. Eastwood is an intellectual coward that is crippling America because he refuses to accept his own responsibility for the system he created. * him.

I don't get it, either.

then made a movie about killing a disabled woman. He's spiteful and hateful and callous. Those are exactly the qualities one should expect from a Trump supporter.

Bridges of Madison County. I'm not judging him by his movies. I'm judging him by his own words in the article above, which just don't match up with his politics.

AFTER he was personally offended by the fact that we want equal access where possible. It's a very, very big difference.

...Clint's better days are behind him. Why he decided to inject himself into politics is anyone's guess. I'll admit I like him as an actor, but as a human being? Not so much. But, we all have opinions, and we are entitled to them.

circle of capacity, are of a certain era, stay in the area of what was successful for them, are perfect in their petrified state. They reach the limit of themselves and can't pass that limit - and probably don't want to.

Asshole for hire.

disgusting

someone like Eastwood, who has produced and directed some excellent films, (written the music scores for some), and can work with Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and so many others on the Hollywood A list, can be so fucked up in his political thinking.

Then again, Bobby Fischer was perhaps the greatest chess genius who ever lived, and was a total moron on anything and everything that didn't have to do with chess.

Perhaps Eastwood is an extremely talented film maker and musician, and a total imbecile on everything else. Could be.

Thanks for the corrected link. I'll try to fix it in my OP.

sensitive. His sensitivity in that film didn't strike me as that of an imbecile. What happened? Streep totally admired and loved him from madison county so i don't know what the hell made him go off the loop. Certainly knowing Meryl Streep as closely as he did had to have SOME effect on him...

and TAX CUTS FOR CLINT.
