Do you think that George Clooney is testing the water?

Just that.

Imagine Mr. Trump is not a happy bunny today.

I personally think it's too late. Biden should have stood aside as a future candidate months ago. Now it would be Kamala and she's just not very popular with the swing voters. As a Democrat, it is infuriating.

I thought it was only 3 weeks since Clooney did the fundraiser for Biden. So has he changed his mind in the last 3 weeks ?
I always thought when he married it was with an eye on the Presidency.

Yes but he had also been Governor of California and a pretty successful one at that. He didn't step straight from the film set to the White House..

What a strange observation. Could he not perhaps have just loved her? What on earth does his choice of partner have to do with anything, anyway?

(FWIW, I’m an heterosexual woman, married 35 years. I love Amal too! Who wouldn’t?)

No, I don't think he would.
He's deeply closeted and running for the presidency might expose that.

I just assumed he's said what he did because he's a democrat party funder. Otherwise I can't imagine why he thinks his opinion is relevant.

I'm not a fan of celebrity endorsement/non endorsement in politics.

It hadn't crossed my mind he might want to run at some point !!

I think that the night of the fundraiser people met Joe in person, spoke to him and finally realised the scale of the deception that the democratic party had pulled on them. There was no hiding it.

After the party the gossip started and grew legs. Clooney as the host was made to look a fool for hustling people for donations.

He'll have thought long and hard about the article he was in. He's not an impulsive man.

It was his conversation with Mr. Biden at the latest part fundraiser that made him realise that something was very wrong with Joe.

I really hope this happens!!!!

So not a fan of Trump, then?

Clooney fell out with the Biden administration months ago after the White House criticised the International Criminal Court case his wife worked on. He called Biden aides to complain about it.

Michelle Obama is not running. She’s said consistently for years that she doesn’t like politics, wasn’t happy when Barack ran and will never go into it herself. I don’t know why that rumour persists so strongly. Wishful thinking maybe?

This would be a disaster for the Dems, much like Hilary was too. They need a candidate who can turn the head of people who are thinking about voting for Trump, not one that speaks to their own base.

I assumed other Dems were basically asking/using Clooney to say what they think but don't feel they can say openly yet.

Oh God, his character in ER was an absolute immature twat who loved to play the hero.

Yes I agree but that episode was brilliant.

No, I'm not a fan of Trump.
TBH no celebrity endorsements for him spring to mind.

The Apprentice is how he got there though

I assume that was for me?

By celebrity endorsement I mean when a celebrity publicly comes out and says 'please vote for x. I think he/she is great and they have my vote'.

That's what don't like, from either side of the political spectrum.

No idea what his plans are but his comment was pretty damning for Biden

It sums up the issue of capacity decline

It's not the 1950s

And you know it's got fuck all to do with anyone else what he does or doesn't do in private with consenting adults.

Jog on.

Early marriage to older woman to put press off the scent - check.
Marriage to older woman fails and divorce follows - check.
Numerous much younger, random non-celeb girlfriends on two - three year contracts, one after the other - check.
Non-dlsclosures in place for all of those girlfriends - check.
Described by press as 'confirmed bachelor' - check.
Ex-girlfriends talk about how how he was a father figure not a lover - check.
Hasty marriage in middle age to relatively unknown much younger woman - check.
Twins born by IVF - check.

It's textbook.

He's screaming.

Oh my word!

None of this is any proof of Clooney’s sexuality. And even if he was the reincarnation of Liberace, so what?

I don’t think he’d win whatever his sexuality might be. The hopers on here haven’t thought through the likelihood of Americans voting for an actor with not a jot of experience of political office joining a chaotic Dem campaign as an 11th hour desperation candidate.

But his preference for men or women or both has sweet Felicity Arkwright to do with it.

It's textbook.

Also see:
Tom Cruise
Bradley Cooper
Jake Gyllenhaal
Seacrest
and many more.

They follow a pattern and a script.
For them, coming out is not an option.

Who cares though if they are or not.

I think poor Biden must be very unwell and it became clear recently.

Looks like the fundraiser was the turning point.

The actor writes that the president's decline is not an illusion; it’s real. He points to a Los Angeles fundraiser he threw for the president last month. “The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe... of 2010,” he writes. “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

op I thought that about Clooney. At this point it's pretty obvious they need to get someone - maybe a completely new person, who is known for something else is just what's needed.
