Of course they're swooning... They're scared s***less that Trump will deport their illegal alien gardeners, housekeepers, nannies, etc., that they exploit for cheap labor. They might actually be forced to pay legal workers a living wage, and they want NO part of that.
If that's the case, I hope Trump starts with his OWN illegal employees.
Didn't Ms. Streep give a standing ovation to Roman Polanski at the Academy Awards in 2003? Does she prefer and applaud a 43 year old man convicted of unlawful intercourse with a 13 year old child to Trump who has been wrongly accused of making fun of a handicapped person? Hollywood hypocrites all.
Yet they elected a billionaire celebrity reality tv personality who lives in a golden tower in the middle of the richest place in the country.
Yeah, elitist rich liberals are not why Trump won. Trump is the epitome of elitist rich. And Middle America is pretty freakin stupid if they think Trump is going to care about them.
They only speak when surrounded with like idiots. I dare Miss Streep to come to my neighborhood in person and repeat her goofy words. She thinks that standing in front of a mic and spewing is reaching everyone, but she is sadly mistaken. We hear her words but we're laughing at her.
I guarantee her I will never again see a Streep movie. Not that it much matters. She's too old and haggard to appear in much of anything. Anything I have seen her in was unremarkable.
I am constantly amused by the people who claim that Ms Streep and others in her profession are not entitled to express their opinions as if they don't live in this country, pay taxes, contribute greatly to the economy, etc.
Why should their opinion count less than someone like, say, "Joe the Plumber?"
It boggles the mind.
Who says she's not entitled to her opinion? As to whether it counts less than Joe the Plumber, I'd look to Joe, since he has more at stake in the coming years (and he probably voted for the winning candidate).
Its a little bizarre to see celebrities, outfitted in tuxedos and designer gowns, seated at tables with champagne and filet mignon, talking about what a disaster it is that the American working class chose Donald Trump. What's wrong with those working people -- don't they know that Hollywood dictates not only how you look, but also how you think?
Then Streep -- who is good but is no Glenn Close -- steps up and doubles down on Hillary's "deplorables" theme, mocking people who watch football and MMA. Good move Meryl, way to help the Dems!
Ms Streep made her remarks in her own environment.
She was not trotted out by Democrats, she was honored by her peers, many of whom do happen to be Republicans.
If so-called Middle America doesn't care about Hollywood, their lack of concern will no doubt show up at the box office.
Let's see how that goes, shall we?
Seriously? Name them.
Ready, Set, GO........

But its not bizarre for those same working class to vote Trump in based on the idea he gets them more than other candidates? Don't you think there is a huge disconnect there?

What should the working class do -- wait for a poor person to run for president?
