2. According to a 2017 article in The Guardian, I'd say Sarandon was pretty anti-Hillary.

From the article:
"Did she really say that Hillary was more dangerous than Trump?"

'“Not exactly, but I don’t mind that quote,” (Sarandon) says. “I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war [if she was president]. It wouldn’t be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice.'”

Who can tell the influence of her opinions. Sarandon is known to be outspoken.
I'm sure she didn't do Hillary any good. And her ambiguous statement about President Obama is downright insulting to these Democratic ears.

Thanks for your post BigmanPigman. Food for thought.
