It was never exactly a shock that George Clooney — a lifelong Democrat, and about as Hollywood as they come — would endorse Hillary Clinton for president.
But it wasn’t a given, either. And as Donald Trump was bulldozing his many Republican rivals in the spring of 2016, Clinton was still slogging through her own primary contests with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
So Clooney laid out his endorsement that March in a short, to-the-point fundraising letter.
He called Clinton a “voice of tolerance and experience,” a champion for the poor and a savvy diplomat. “If ever there was a time for a grown-up,” he wrote, “that time is now.”
You’ll notice he never called her a great politician, but more on that in a minute.
Clooney expressed reservations about the campaign at least once that year, even as he used his star power to raise millions of dollars for Clinton.
Yes, he told NBC News in April: $353,000 a head for dinner with Clooney and Clinton at the actor’s Los Angeles home was “an obscene amount of money.”
But, Clooney added, quite a lot of that obscene amount would go not to Clinton, but to down-ticket Democrats who would help her govern.

Clooney is running. He wants to eliminate Hillary as his competition.
If you want to watch some one run look at Jerry brown over the last 4 months.

It might be said *That’s a job easily done*
It’s the other bozos he’ll have to bring down.
