He said that Bernie will never get his revolution; that it just isn't going to happen in America.

He needs to either be objective, or leave the media.

And Hillary has been having a daily live time with Blitzer, too. How is she getting all this live interview time with these guys, almost every day??

I lost my patience with that lunatic a couple of years ago. Couldn't stand the way he'd yell over his guests and say the most ridiculous things.

Yea he's an @$$ but at least he's consistent. Not at all like the person he's currently idolizing.

In fact, MSNBC is getting more and more partisan. They broadcast more of Trump than, I do believe,all the Democratic candidates put together. Bet they now focus on Rubio.

Chris Matthews had an interview with Hillary Rodham Clinton on the MSNBC channel of the electric teevee machine Tuesday afternoon that was flatly astounding. This is especially true if you remember Matthews' sorry history with the Clinton family, especially concerning HRC, against whom he was so hostile in 2008 that kindly Doc Maddow called him out on it on the air. Now, though, apparently, Matthews sees HRC as the only thing keeping the Battleship Potemkin from sailing up his driveway.

I'm going to say this bluntly. The only person standing between a confirmed socialist who is calling for political revolution in this country winning the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party, which has always been more moderate than that, is you. So, when you saw that rally last night, the young people all around Senator Sanders, when he yelled "revolution" out there, and they all applauded like mad, do you think that's going to help in the general election or is it what we used to call in the Sixties an NDC candidacy—"November Doesn't Count"—we just want to win the party, we don't care about the general. You seem to be focused on the general. How do you beat a person who comes along in the primaries who says, 'I'm going to give you everything you want: free tuition, more Social Security benefits, no increase in your taxes, free health-care from birth, all of it government-paid.' How do you compete with a revolution? A revolution of promises, really.

I think it was when Delay announced his stepping down. Or not seeking reelection. Can't remember .

Matthews loves GWB, but hates Cheney. Seems to love Obama and Hillary, but doesn't like Sanders.

Matthews: "Look, the history of the Democratic party—your party, not Bernie Sanders. He's not a Democrat—your party has produced the New Deal, the progressive income tax came from the Democrats, Social Security, the greatest anti-poverty program, came from Roosevelt, health-care and civil rights, and all these good things, and in every case, you had to battle Republicans against it to the last person. It's always been a tough fight. You need 60 votes in the Senate, and you need 218 in the House. And if you don't have them nothing gets done. Can the Bernie people be taught—not him, he can't be taught—can the kids behind him be told that this is how it works in our system? You can call for a revolution but it ain't gonna happen. There isn't going to be a revolution. There's gonna be an election and an inauguration and then there's going to be a Congress sitting next to you that you have to deal with. Revolution sounds like a pass. You don't have to have logic any more. We're going to have a revolution and pay for anything."


That is just unbelievable. How does he still have a job?

It means change and the old way will no longer suffice. Remember, he worked for Tip O'Neill so he sees the old order as being in danger. These are the people he's comfortable with.
