Worryingly, Hollywood could actually turn the tables for or against Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. All they need to do is talk their fans into patronising their 'brands,' as you must have noticed in the commercials.
Then why wouldn't stars be able to influence the population to vote for their choice of the US president? They really wouldn't find it too tough.
But who is supporting whom? Some pro-Trump celebrities have been vocal in their support:
Scott Baio of 'Happy Days' is happy with Trump. He says: "I like Trump because Trump is not a politician; he talks like a guy. And ladies out there, this is what guys talk about when you're not around. So if you're offended by it, grow up," he told Fox News' Jeanine Pirro. "And by the way, this is what you guys talk about over white wine when you have your brunches, so take it easy with your phoney outrage. This is the way the world works. It's not a big thing."
On the other hand, Producer Lee Daniels and stars of "Empire," are opponents of Trump. In a video, they are vociferous: "The violence and nasty rhetoric against mankind is unacceptable. If Trump gets into office, it will only get worse. There's only one person in this race who said Black Lives Matter," they add, referring to Hillary Clinton.
Madonna, a great fan of Clinton, has been explicit and more graphic. She said: "If you vote for Hillary Clinton, I will give you a blowjob. OK?" The 58-year-old said at New York's Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. "I'm really good. I'm not a douche, and I'm not a tool. I take my time, I have a lot of eye contact, and I do swallow."

So this is the list of celebrities who will vote either for or against the Republican candidate.
They are still not writ in stone. Anytime, the rules might change. Who would win the elections then?
Whoever it is, please DO NOT go only with your favorite celebrity. He/she may be a great actress, but wouldn't know enough about the best person to grace the White House and decide our fates collectively.
