'Ugly Betty' Star's Pitch for Hillary Clinton: 'I’d Like to Netflix and Chill' With Her

By LIZ KREUTZ MATTHEW CLAIBORNE
LAS VEGAS — Feb 20, 2016, 6:58 AM ET

On the eve of the Nevada caucus, actresses America Ferrera and Eva Longoria joined Hillary Clinton for a rally in the final push before voting begins on Saturday.

Ferrera, who noted she is a millennial woman and first-generation American, made an unusual pitch for supporting Clinton.

“I really think I’d like to Netflix and chill with Hillary,” Ferrera said at an outdoor amphitheater just off the Strip in in Las Vegas, adding that she’d like to have a glass of wine with her, too.

Longoria also made a pitch for Clinton, calling out those who say the former secretary of state leaves them uninspired.

"If Hillary doesn't inspire you, you aren't paying attention,” she chided.

And I guess I still do, as an actor. But that's a really W-type reason she gave.

ETA: Well, well - you learn something new every day. Not a W reason, but Google it if you're not up-to-date either. I don't think much of it either way.

I'm pretty sure when the kids say "Netflix and chill" it doesn't mean hanging out watching a movie.

I almost feel sorry for Hillary sometimes (except I never really feel sorry for multi-multi-millionaires) ... with 'friends like that who needs enemies'. Her candidacies does have the odd characteristic of bringing out the awkward, embarrassing, or worst in her surrogates.

And she doesn't inspire me because I don't believe that she is sincere or will act in my best interest or those of the poor. I guess being wealthy for the past 8 years insulates you from the reality of the rest of us...and BTW, Ugly Betty sucked...

"Netflix and Chill" does not literally mean hang out and watch movies for the younger generation.

It means telling someone to come over to watch Netflix when you both know you're going to have sex instead.

Bahaha.

#netflixandchill = inviting someone over turn on netflix and while the movie is playing you and the other person are having fun (put it nicely)
