Related: About this forumWhat the fuck, Roseanne?? Roseanne Barr : "We would be so lucky" if Trumpence won.
From NY Daily News
Roseanne Barr isn't being funny about her support for Donald Trump.
The comedian and former presidential hopeful is barring herself from endorsing Hillary Clinton and believes Americans "would be so lucky" if bombastic Republican candidate Donald Trump became the next President.
"Because then it wouldn't be Hillary," she explained to the Hollywood Reporter.
The 63-year-old bashed Clinton for being friends "with everybody that gives her any goddamned money."
So the openly Socialist, former Peace-and-Freedom Party Presidential Candidate who wanted to forgive all student loans, homeowner and credit card debt and create a safety net for starting a small business is supporting a sexist, chauvinist, racist, bigoted, xenophobic, fascist, super-ego, uber-capitalist, billionaire, slimy real estate mogul for President? Interesting.
She then lauded the billionaire businessman for financing most of his campaign.
The TV star particularly struck a chord with social media when she agreed with real estate mogul's stance on immigration.
"It's all a scam. I mean, illegal immigration. When people come here and they get a lot of benefits that our own veterans don't get. What's up with that?" she asked.
As Twitter tore apart her comments on Thursday, The Donald thanked the actress for her apparent support.
Yeah, I never really liked Roseanne anyway. Though it is a shame. She appeared in Michael Moore's 'Slacker Uprising' film supporting Kerry in 2004. This makes no sense.

Which means she ran against President Obama on two different tickets. Screw you, Roseanne.

...and that VP pick was followed by asking Indiana Republicans for money.
Trump is NOT following Ross Perot in entirely self-funding, and the percentage of Trump's campaign which is self-funded goes down each day.
