Clint Eastwood Endorses Mike Bloomberg
February 2020 - Who saw this one coming? Life-long Republican and former mayor of Carmel, California, Clint Eastwood is not supporting Donald Trump this election cycle. And, not only is he not supporting Mr. Trump, he has decided to endorse a Democrat for President! The award-winning actor/director is throwing his support behind Mike Bloomberg, self-made billionaire businessman and three-term mayor of New York City.
Mr. Eastwood, who supported John McCain in 2008, Mitt Romney in 2012, and Donald Trump in 2016, was interviewed recently by the Wall Street Journal. While he approves of "certain things" Mr. Trump has done, he also said he hopes Mr. Trump would act in a more genteel way, without tweeting and using schoolyard name-calling. "I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level."

As for his thoughts on Mr. Bloomberg, Clint's comments were concise and to the point:
"The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there."
Let's hope that the Eastwood endorsement of a Democrat is a trend and that other Republicans put the good of the country and the love of our democratic institutions ahead of partisan politics.
