I loved when Hayes asked them where their point of leverage is now that The Republicans are in power.

excrement I have ever seen. She needs to crawl back under her rock. She has learned NOTHING. Go take a shower, Chris Hayes. I know you tried to have an intelligent conversation with Sarandon, but that must have left you feeling pretty dirty.

traveling to Nevada in order to invade its caucus so she can stand in 80 year old farm labor leader Dolores Huerta's face and lecture her on who she should support.

And she's the kind who refused to endorse Hillary over DT.

then proceeds to trash Hillary and Hillary's campaign yet again, while being all perky about how Trump is setting things off. God I wish that woman would disappear---and take that guy who was with her tonight, as well.

I assume she'll arrive via limousine.

Glad to see that others were similarly outraged with her little performance on Chris Hayes's show. He was a lot more forbearing than I would have been.

... John Edwards also voted for the "IWR" and it didn't matter to Sarandon when she was supporting him.

People like her are the enemy of the good. She's so fucking privileged that nothing Trump does will affect her.

Fuck you, Susan! You were worthless then, and you're worthless now.

Susan "It's all about me" Sarandon came across as the exact thing she says she detests: privileged, rich, out of touch, and self obsessed. Her imperious "let me lecture you about your job" reeks of class and is exactly the kind of smug snobbery she projects onto DNC Democrats. Her inability to address the consequences of her "Bernie or Bust*" philosophy shows she is painfully self-unaware and completely unconcerned by Trump's Presidency.

*Not even Bernie Sanders believes in the kind of scortched earth stupidity Sarandon displayed - neither do the vast majority of Sanders supporters.

But, i would say Chris handled her by giving her enough rope. He didn't lecture back. He didn't nod approvingly. Her let her do her thing and the consensus appears to be that nobody here is going to be paying attention any longer.

None of it positive. Salon.com has an article about it.

Seriously, Bernie Sanders: if you want to stay relevant, you need to put as much distance as possible between yourself and Susan The Obnoxiously Entitled......

have with a Trump presidency? None! With Hillary they might have had been able to exert a little influence to push her left, but Drumpf will outright ignore the Susan Sarandons of the country.

Ms. Sarandon. I believe I connected some of the closer dots in what she had to say. I even resisted my urge to change the channel. She is not a very good spokes person for her views, incoherent as she expresses them. Like a lot of actors she does much better when she's sticking to a script.

I get the loathing and rage she emotes when talking about the Democrats and DNC. She's an actor she has all the emotions, to paraphrase another character from a movie. ( Goldie Hawn's character in First Wifes Club)
