Hollywood Cage-match

Its Bernie's Bullies vs. Hillary's Hooligans in a slug-fest for Hollywood dollar-donors. The H'wood glitterati are lining-up in support of either Sanders or Clinton for the Democratic Presidential nomination and the heat is on.

Clooney - caught in the middle

For example, George Clooney and his wife are hosting a Clinton fund raiser this week at the home of Shervin Pishevar, co- founder of Uber, where 1,500 Bernie Bullies are expected to show up to protest the gala.  Also invited to the party are a number of Silicon Valley biggies. Tickets for the party start at $33,000 and go up to $350.000 for a seat at the Clooney/Clinton table.

Sanders' supporters are adamant in their disdain for the ridiculous amounts of wealth that this type of fund raiser and its attendees represent.  The Bullies will be gathering with banners and pots and pans for noise making and are expected to block limos and do their utmost to disrupt the festivities. "Let the people gather and march to protest this event and to show Clinton and her supporters that we don't accept her kind of corruption", the Protest invitation read, "This corruption-fest is not just undemocratic, it is immoral and obscene!"  Sanders however has his own H'wood backers, which include: Danny DeVito, Susan Sarandon, Will Farrell, Seth McFarland, Spike Lee, to name several - and they give big as well.

It's Bernie's Bullies vs. Hillary's Hooligans

So, it's not just the Republicans that are at each others throats, but the Dems as well, and Hollywood's hoi polloi are in the thick of it.  The Lala-land folks normally rally around one candidate or issue but this year is different as Sanders' Marxist message has gotten wide support from liberal-mined celebs. The regular donors that can be counted on to back, say Clinton, are torn between a far-lefter and a left-of-center candidate. This Presidential race has Hollywood and Silicon Valley fat-cats in a real cage-match with the bullies and hooligans protesting each other's candidate with visceral, and often, violent actions.

CMG too, is awed by this whole Presidential free-for-all.  It's not only pitting the left against the right but the right against the right and the left against the left - what more could you ask for. All the best to our Elephant and Donkey friends as they continue waging their election battles.
