During a podcast interview Wednesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized a video from actor Matthew McConaughey encouraging voters to consider independent candidates.
On Sunday, McConaughey took to social media and challenged the long-held notion that voting for an independent candidate is a wasted vote, arguing that just a handful of independent lawmakers could dramatically shift the balance of power in Washington.
"They've been telling us for years that an independent vote is a wasted vote," McConaughey said in a video shared on Instagram. "Well, a great question for our times is has that unwasted vote been working out for you?"
Liberal journalist Kara Swisher shared the video with Clinton on their new podcast "High Stakes," remarking that she didn't think McConaughey articulated the appeal of independent candidates well enough for viewers.
Clinton went further and criticized McConaughey for potentially complicating the Democratic Party's efforts to push back against President Donald Trump in the midterm elections.
"I think it's really unfortunate that somebody who's such a great actor with such a reach would be two weeks before a midterm that is aimed at stopping Trump's corruption, impunity and extreme damage to the country would suggest that any independent candidate is really a better choice," Clinton said.
"Right now, we have a broad range of Democrats running, and Democrats are representing, I think, every kind of American in these elections," she continued. "And we know, I mean, it's just a fact. We know that if we don't vote for Democrats to defeat Republicans, then Trump will have two more unchecked years to do whatever he wants to our country."

In other words, demonicRATS view Independents as used condoms.
I’ve never seen Hillary Clinton exhibit the intelligence she’s touted to possess. Every time she opens her mouth something stupid comes out.

LOL! Penis head Carville and vag Clinton go together.
GAH! If Carville and Hillary ever had a child it would look like Gollum.
Liberals are in his comments saying "this is irresponsible right now" and that everyone needs to be in lockstep.
The supposed anti-fascists are acting quite fascist.
"Just go along, get in line!"
Kinda like you can check out but you can never leave.
Actually, that could be the basis of a song...but I digress.
Regardless of your politics, if Mrs. Clinton scolds you, you are doing something right.

Pretty convoluted answer there. She is not very smart. Nor especially is the Light-Bringer Obama.
"Right now, we have a broad range of Democrats running, and Democrats are representing, I think, every kind of American in these elections," she continued. "And we know, I mean, it's just a fact. We know that if we don't vote for Democrats to defeat Republicans, then Trump will have two more unchecked years to do whatever he wants to our country."
Which is exactly what we want!
Hillary talking about alleged corruption?! LOL!
I’m old, and I remember when Democrats weren’t so uniformly bad natured and nasty people.
(The ugly nature and meanness just ooze out of Shorty Al Sayed.)
