Anyone going to watch the Chris Matthews Town Hall?

[CatWoman]

From Dayton Ohio in a district that formerly voted for Obama, then voted Trump.

[StarfishSaver]

1. I'll start watching these town halls when they start acting as if the electorate includes someone

other than Trump voters.

16. +1, good point ... go into blue suburbs or flipped areas

[elleng]

2. Not 'wanting' to, got stuck watching,

continually astounded by false impressions apparent sane people have of trump.

[LiberalFighter]

11. They may appear to be sane but they aren't.

One guy claimed he was in the voting booth for 20-30 minutes deciding how to vote. That was a lie.

Then other guys brought up Benghazi, MS13 or something, and other crap. They are lunatics.

[elleng]

13. Not lunatics, some misinformed;

several very well-informed, and much of the crowd supports them; pleased to see this.

[CatWoman]

18. especially that Benghazi nut job

[elleng]

19. Right

[montanacowboy]

3. Hell NO

No OHio Trump Voters and Matthews giving us his half baked bullshit

[muntrv]

4. He did acknowledge Sherrod Brown's presence while calling out the other senator's absence.

[UniteFightBack]

5. I meant to watch it but forgot about it. nt

[Ilsa]

6. I'm turning it off.

I don't want to listen to the excuses these people give trump or the credit they give him.

[standingtall]

7. they cannot let go of their fascination with Trump voters

I watched about 2 minutes of it and that was 2 minutes to long.

[elleng]

8. HAPPY to see a WELL-informed voter AND support for her from many in the group!

[lordsummerisle]

9. The election is nearly a year and a half away

which is close to eternity in political time. Sometimes I wish we had a system like Canada or Mexico which limit the length of the campaign season.
How about starting up in the year that the election is being held for example?

[BigmanPigman]

10. ....

FUCK NO!

[uponit7771]

12. I am, a lot if people disappointed with Trump

[elleng]

14. Right, pleased to see it.

[tishaLA]

15. It's terrible on every level

Matthews has been inside the beltway for over 40 years, attending soirees with the Washington elite, and yet still wants to paint himself as the vox poluli. And the "average voters" on the show might be average, but a lot of them are deeply uninformed or misinformed. The most telling was when Matthews asked the one gentleman what exactly it was about Benghazi that made Sec Clinton unworthy of a vote and he had no idea how to answer the question and kept prefacing everything with "from what I know about it" or "from what I've heard"

[ooky]

23. Yea, that guy was a total moron. Interesting they gave him one of the 4 chairs.

Almost like they were looking for the most stupid they could dig up.

[Raine]

17. I'm recording it

I'll watch it later, I can't right now. I like to be informed about why people think and do what they do.

[ooky]

20. The thing that the Trumphumpers all have in common.

They all believe lies and repeat Fox News talking points.

The guy in the Navy hat starts reading from a list he made of "Trump accomplishments", quoting some low unemployment numbers. Tweety doesn't ask him what Trump policies are responsible for it, instead, calls it a "good list". Nothing said about the decline in unemployment under Obama that Trump inherited when he took office. It is so frustrating watching this stupidity.

[CatWoman]

21. *boom*

Sherrod Brown setting the record straight about wages and job growth under Obama

[elleng]

22. I rarely watch Matthews, and his conduct of the town hall tonight confirmed my negative opinion:

NOT useful. Sorry, as the audience had potential imo.
