Chris Matthews: 'Who’s going to watch a debate between the two Cuban guys?'

[cali]

Chrissy steps in it big time.


With the news that Donald Trump would be bowing out of Thursday night's Fox News debate, MSNBC's Chris Matthews seemed dubious at best over the network's ratings without Trump.

“Who’s going to watch a debate between the two Cuban guys?" he asked during Tuesday night's episode of "Hardball." "Who’s gonna watch a debate between Rubio, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz? Who cares?”


Turning to Robert Costa, an MSNBC contributor and Washington Post reporter, Matthews pressed the issue.
“Because, you know they’ve been sort of fighting in this little interleague fight over who’s the hawkish guy, or whatever. Who is going to watch that Thursday night? Maybe I’m building it up too much."
Matthews also speculated last November that he was not sure either candidate could be considered Hispanic, despite their Cuban-American heritage.

1. He picked Rand Paul as his predicted nominee.

There must be uncontrolled ego stimulants running wild somewhere between his thinning hairline and his spittle. It is characters like Matthews that make Clinton's supporters look completely unreasonable and clueless.

2. The disease is apparently spreading. Nt

3. best thing Matthews has said all season

Only thing he has said really... I am going to watch the debate to see how they do without their leader. They have been reacting back to Trump for 6 months now the GOP candidates have to think on their own should be fun

4. Silly Tweety. Everyone knows Cruz is Canadian.

5. LOL!!

Maybe they can argue in Spanish on camera.

Although, having been in Cuba, I can say that if they both argue with that accent the Cubans have, other native speakers of Spanish will need subtitles as much as the Anglos!!
