The Seven Reasons Pharrell Is Convinced That Hillary Clinton Will Be Our Next President

1.  Red and Blue, Gangs and Blood:  "Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue.  You got the Democrats, you got the Republicans.  You got the Bloods, you got the Crips. 

 

 

"You know what else is red and blue?  Blood.  Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red.  That means there's unity.  There's gonna be unity."

 

 

2.  An Uprising of Women Late-Night Talk Show Hosts and World Leaders:  "So when you think about a night where there's late-night talk-show hosts and it's mostly women, that's a different world.  Right?

 

 

"A world where 75% of the prime ministers and the presidents were women . . . that's a different world.  That's gonna happen when Hillary wins."

3.  Women Voting to Own Their Bodies:  "No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion . . . there's no way in the world [a woman is] going to vote for somebody that's going to try to tell them what to do with your bodies."

 

 

4.  Bill Clinton Is Still a Pimp:  "It's a two-for-one.  Bill is the coolest dude in the game, still plays saxophone, and every woman in the world wants him."

 

 

5.  Pharrell Correctly Predicted Barack Obama's Win:  "Everybody laughed at me when I said Obama was going to win, but I knew what he represented. 

 

 

"I know what Hillary represents:  She represents a woman in power, and she did great as the Secretary of State.  She's gonna win . . . Listen, I'm reaching out to her right now.  She's gonna win."

 

 

6.  Her Competition is Still Trying to Learn How to Dougie:  "Who?  The Tea Party guys?  The guys with the [N-word] jokes in 2014?  They're all trying to learn how to do the Dougie.  Please.  While their daughters are all twerking."

 

 

7.  And Something About Miley Cyrus:  "Miley tells me all the time . . . All those little girls, all those girls with their Republican daddies, they're twerkin' somewhere listening to Jay Z and Beyoncé, and doin' the 'Happy' dance . . . And that's black."
