Hollywood Money Ends Up CURSE For Dems

As the news of huge Democratic losses sink in, Hollywood donors turned from high-hopes to nursing hangovers and licking their wounded wallets..

Democratic politicians received untold thousands of dollars in Hollywood campaign contributions in countless glitzy fundraisers, which resulted in a sobering and resounding fail.

Among the losing donors: Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, J.J. Abrams, Oprah Winfrey, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jimmy Iovine, Warren Beatty, Jessica Alba, Chris O’Donnell, Rob Lowe, Larry David, Ted Danson, Joan Cusack, Harvey Keitel and Michael Douglas. h/t hollywoodreporter

 
Tennis Channel chief Ken Solomon said he and his fellow Hollywood fundraisers realized in recent weeks that their candidates were in trouble. As Barbra Streisand sent out a donation plea to Democratic fundraisers across the country, industry politicos began to prepare themselves for a losing battle.

“It was the worst election map since Eisenhower,” Solomon said. “We all put on our body armor and were waiting for this explosion. Now we just need to move forward.”
