Rocker Alice Cooper said “nobody actually” wants to vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in 2016.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the 68-year-old singer said he plans to vote for Tom Hanks for president and said people are only against either the Republican and Democratic presidential nominee — no one is for them. (RELATED: Alice Cooper: Ke$ha is ‘not a pop diva’)

“It’s also funny and kind of seriously demented that nobody wants to vote for a candidate; they want to vote against the other candidate,” Cooper said. “I can’t think of anybody that’s going, ‘I really like Hillary. I’m going to vote for her.’ No, it’s: ‘I’m voting for Hillary’ cause I hate Trump.'”
“Or it’s: ‘I hate Trump, but I hate her worse,'” he added. “Nobody’s actually for anybody.”
Cooper then said it’s a bizarre election because neither Trump nor Clinton can seem to stay ahead of the other.
“He [Trump’s] an interesting character,” he said. “It seems like he shoots himself in the foot every single day and gets more popular by doing it. It’s the weirdest.”
“Everything that shouldn’t happen is happening,” he added. “It’s the same with her. Every time she gets a little bit ahead, something else comes out that makes her look worse ’til you’re sitting there going, ‘I honestly have no idea who to vote for this time.”
“I honestly cannot in my head look at either candidate and say, ‘Oh, yeah. I’m behind that,'” he continued. “So it’s weird. I’m going to vote, but it’s really going to be one of those last-minute decisions going, ‘Ah.'”
“You know, I’m voting for Tom Hanks. I just think he would be a great president.”
