Yesterday on GMA, when asked if she had a candidate, Cher said that voting for Hillary is "a no brainer." She then told the story of how she dined at the White House the first week of Jimmy Carter's presidency, says "here was a man who was a saint" who had all these great ideas, and how they cut him off at the knees because of his inexperience. Say what you will, but as we all know Cher has been around FOREVER! and she knows what she's talking about!
Seriously, though, there is a reason why women over 60 support Hillary in droves: because they are hands down the most progressive and most loyal voting bloc there is. That is a fact. I love how for Cher its just not even a question worth a second thought!
This is so much bigger than Oprah, if you ask me.
You may remember Cher called into C-Span in May 2006 to decry Bush over lack of proper bodyarmor, and she's spent the last three years visiting American soldiers at US army hospitals around the world. She's donated hundreds of thousands to get soldiers the armor they need. She's been a major activist the last few years.
In other news, David Brooks, who I hate, wrote his best column to date about the "retail politics" of the democratic primary.
