‘He doesn’t take any corporate money’
Hillary Clinton will lose out on the support of MMA fighter Ronda Rousey, who recently backed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), Clinton’s rival for the Democratic nomination for president.
Rousey, the undefeated champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, told Maxim in an interview that she’s backing Sanders over Clinton because he doesn’t take money from corporations.
“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders because he doesn’t take any corporate money,†Rousey stated. “I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.â€
Rousey will refuse to support Clinton in the general if she beats Sanders, choosing instead to vote for a third party candidate.
“If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again,†Rousey said. “To be honest, in 2012 I was against both candidates and so I just picked any third party because I thought if more people voted for third parties then they’d have to take third parties seriously.â€
The famed MMA fighter voted for comedian Roseanne Barr, who ran as a third party candidate in 2012, over President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
“I voted for Roseanne last time. Mostly I went in to vote for all the state and local things. I was so unimpressed with the whole presidential campaign that I picked whatever third party I saw, and I saw Roseanne and thought, ‘That’s awesome.’ But I’m really pulling for Sanders this time. I hope it works out,†Rousey said.
Rousey, who lives in Venice Beach, California, is one of a few Hollywood elites who have backed Sanders in the 2016 contest. Clinton has received plenty of support from individuals in the Los Angeles area, hosting multiple fundraisers there that have netted her millions.
Muscles, skill, beauty...no brains.
That’s so sad...
Keep your political opinions to yourself when you are an entertainer
Hey Ronda, Trump doesn’t take any corporate money either
If she doesn’t give all her money away, then she is a flaming hypocrite.
Dumb as a post.
Hey, nobody ever claimed she was a rocket scientist. She’s just the best woman in the world at beating up other women.
Smart enough not to support Hillary.
Sanders: “Comrade Ronda, how much money did you make this year?”
Rousey: “Oh, about $16 million.”
Sanders: “Perfect, send it all to me, Tsar Bern I. Otherwise, I’ll have the People’s IRS come and put you in an arm bar.”
Love to see your evidence MMA, especially UFC, matches are predetermined.
I say we make this simple. She fights for her choice, I’ll go to bat for Cruz, winner takes all. Equal rights and all that.
Ronda Rousey to Star in 'Road House' Reboot
Rousey will step into the role Patrick Swayze made famous.
This is what happens when you take repeated head blows...
People always wonder if you’re just a “dumb blonde”... Now you opened your mouth and removed all doubt...
I’m curious if she has any corporate deals. Hmmm?

YES HE DOES.
It is ILLEGAL to take the money DIRECTLY from a CORPORATION. Therefore NONE of the candidates takes money directly from a corporation,, so her justification is meaningless.
However, it is LEGAL to take it via a corporation's PAC. And Sanders takes plenty.

“famed MMA fighter voted for comedian Roseanne Barr, who ran as a third party candidate in 2012,”
She voted for Roseanne Barr in 2102. She does not understand socialism or democratic freedoms.
It would still be funny to confiscate her money and ask her if she still believes in socialism.
Which part of Comrade Sanders’ platform is her favorite? 90% tax> maybe she likes getting her face punched for ten cents on the dollar, who knows?
Predetermined? lol. I don’t fight (way too old) but tell that to the guys I train with.
