Well now, think about it for a minute. My dear old dad the combat veteran HATES to vote for Trump because the man doesn't fill his shoes. The alternative is far worse. So what is Clint doing? Taking a vote away from Biden, which is almost like voting for Trump, without actually voting for him. I think the wily old fox has this all worked out.

I know a guy (white guy) that said he voted for Rev Al Sharpton when he ran for pres few years back because he seemed to be the best Democratic choice of the bunch.
I told him, what if he had one by one vote, would you still admit to such or just go shoot yourself? You do not have to answer my question, I know the answer to that one.

Yep, maybe Eastwood was making a choice between Little Mikey and demented Sleepy Biden.
What a choice to choose from.

Sheindlin has a reported net worth of $400 million, according to Forbes, and brought home $147 million in 2017: $47 million from hosting "Judge Judy" and producing "Hot Bench," another popular legal television show, and an estimated $100 million from selling the rights of her show to CBs.

Views on gun control[edit]
Despite being both a gun enthusiast[25] and heavily associated with firearms in his Westerns and police movies, Eastwood has publicly endorsed gun control since at least 1973. In the April 24, 1973, edition of The Washington Post, the star said, "I'm for gun legislation myself. I don't hunt."[26] Two years later, in 1975, Eastwood told People magazine that he favors "gun control to some degree."[27] About a year later, Eastwood remarked that "All guns should be registered. I don't think legitimate gun owners would mind that kind of legislation. Right now the furor against a gun law is by gun owners who are overreacting. They're worried that all guns are going to be recalled. It's impossible to take guns out of circulation, and that's why firearms should be registered and mail-order delivery of guns halted."[28] In 1993, he noted that he "...was always a backer" of the Brady Bill, with its federally mandated waiting period.[29] In 1995, Eastwood questioned the purpose of assault weapons. Larry King, the television host and newspaper columnist, wrote in the May 22, 1995, edition of USA Today that "my interview with Eastwood will air on 'Larry King Weekend' ... I asked him his thoughts on the NRA and gun control and he said that while people think of him as pro-gun, he has always been in favor of controls. 'Why would anyone need or want an assault weapon?' he said."

Maybe his views on gun control have evolved over the years, but his historic support for gun controls would place him in Bloomberg's camp.
