Mathews (some call Tweety) was crazy all over the place

about Bernie to the NH head of the Dem Party. And the Dem Party guy said well Bernie has supported dems always. Mathews kept saying he is not a democrat and the look on his face (the face was even red)...he is crazed today.

good or bad, Sanders aint involved in it.

Chris is a typical DC establishment guy, who leans left obviously, but who sees a threat to business as usual and he is scared of that.

He should be excited by it, the way Rachel Maddow appears to be.

In fact I would go so far as to say I think Ms. Maddow probably supports Hillary, privately, and is also a bit unnerved by Bernie, but in her case I think she sees it as progress and just good ole fashioned excitement.

Hillary, but I'm beginning to think she loves Bernie even more. Although she has to hide it to keep her job. Maybe I'm just wishing so because I love her and Bernie both.

I know many women who dont.

Part of me believes once Hillary is president, she may tell a bunch of men on wall street to go fuck themselves.

At least I am hoping.

6. Tweety Has Been Exposed - Perhaps This Has To Do With His Wife And Her Running For Congress....

Kathleen Matthews, Chris Matthews wife, endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.

Also check out this link from the Washington Post regarding - Kathleen Matthews campaign donor money: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/kathleen-matthews-pulls-ahead-in-fundraising-for-md-congressional-seat/2015/10/15/d03b8598-7353-11e5-9cbb-790369643cf9_story.htm

Here's a snip from that article: Some of the names on Matthews’s donor report read like a class reunion of Clinton administration figures

I'm thinking Tweety needs to recuse himself from reporting on the Dem primary race. Seems like he's trying to sour the name of Bernie because his wife both endorsed Hillary and receives money from many that are close to the Clinton's.

I would say that this is a conflict of interest and should be taken up with MSNBC.

I honestly think he just picks a villain each election cycle and then runs it into the ground. I've only caught clips since I don't do cable anymore, and Hillary was Satan in a pretty pantsuit to him not that long ago.

through Chris Matthews' highly distorted, vested interest in Hillary lens. Matthews' obsession with FDR Dem Sanders "not being a Democrat" in his opinion is just plain sickening.

At least during the Iowa vote, Chris Hayes, Maddow and O'Donnell (the last of the liberal Dems on MSNBC) got a little air time.
There was a moment when Maddow just very gently factually refuted Matthews. His eyes were daggers at her. Matthews has been given so much power at MSNBC that he's become a little Napoleon, absorbed in his own self serving politics.

He'd change his views about people so fast it would make my head spin. I heard he was very lovely dovey about my candidate today. That is beyond freakish to me. I've seen spittle flying out of his mouth screaming about her in the past.

Look, Tweety is fed up with the lack of details Bernie is putting forth. All Bernie has to do is give specifics on how he plans to pull off the miracles contained in his platform.

No one pimped for His Chimperial Majesty's Idiot War than he did. Apparently he's on HRH's "bandwagon" this time around. A worthless SHPOS, that's what Tweety is.
