One person who isn't on the #DumpTrump train? Former Girls Next Door star Wilkinson, who said that despite being pro-choice, she's supporting the businessman in the 2016 election. And she has a lot of thoughts about the way our country runs in general. "I'm more of a conspiracy theorist," she told FOX411. "I think everything is a motive for money. Every thought, every belief, everything we’re taught in school. I just believe there’s more to life than what's in those books." Sounds like someone's ready for a revolution!

DICK VAN DYKE

He's 90 years old, but that doesn't make Van Dyke any less politically active: He spoke out in support of Sanders in a video posted on his YouTube channel, saying that he thinks the candidate should be seen as a catalyst for change. "Whether or not he makes it to the White House, I hope everyone realizes the alarm is sounding now," the actor shared.

They've got 'chili' in their name, but that's not the only reason the rock group is feeling the burn (or should we say, Bern?). The men of the Red Hot Chili Peppers voiced their support for the Vermont senator when they headlined a benefit concert on his behalf. "So excited to be playing this concert for Bernie Sanders next week," bassist Flea wrote on Instagram. "Feels great to support someone I believe in."

After Sanders' loss in Nevada, actor Glover stepped out to support him in the candidate's next battle ground: South Carolina. Clinton has traditionally led with African-American voters, something Glover is trying to change. "I think that African-American voters are astute and certainly intelligent enough to see the difference, and I think they're beginning to see the difference," he said at a rally.

Another African-American speaking up for Sanders is director Lee, who officially endorsed him in an audio clip on Sanders' SoundCloud channel. Lee was won over by Sanders' refusal to take money from corporations, and his long history of activism. "When Bernie gets in the White House, he will do the right thing," Lee said.

Why is this pawn star backing Florida senator Marco Rubio? He thinks that Rubio "honestly cares about the American people." After meeting him in Los Angeles, Harrison was convinced. "The entire time I talked to him, all he wanted to talk about was people and he never mentioned the party once. That was a really big deal to me," he told Fox News.
