Carole King supports Hillary. Guest on Hardball tonight....

She says Hillary is the most capable person to be President. Said she does her homework and is smart and listens to people (said a few other positive things also)

She is horrified that Trump--who spews such Hate--might be the GOP nominee and we must get out to vote.

She was out protesting yesterday in DC --something about health care--and dissed the congress--mentioned McConnell for not bringing up the vote for 9/11 first responders.

Tweety mentioned that Carole King will receive some award this weekend at the JFK Arts center.

Great interview. I will try to find the segment.

Such an activist! She must have been protesting that Congress voted to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood.

The vote that berniesanders missed.

"Senate votes to repeal key Obamacare provisions, defund Planned Parenthood"

Senators voted 52-47 to pass the bill. Two moderate Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Kirk of Illinois — joined Democrats in opposing the bill. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was absent.

are so important to them both.

Also, another interview that puts Bernie Sanders in his place...back in the Senate.

He had better start showing up for votes or the Democratic party will be replacing him with a nice young Democrat.
