Did Chris mention his connection, through his wife, with Hillary's campaign? It's fine that there is this connection, but he should put it out there for those who don't know.

That being said, Bernie is doing great.

have also helped with Hillary's, beyond simply being "Democrats." I'm merely pointing out that Chris Matthews may not be entirely unbiased. Which is fine as long as people know.

Have you ever let someone answer a question in your life? For God's sake, man. You're making cocaine nervous with your machine gun histrionics.

SMH

Bernie is talking about engaging people. Propose things they'll want to support and they'll be there, Tweety. Right now, the most that gets done is the gazillioneth repeal of Obamacare, the naming of some post offices and kick-backs to corporate America. Few things being proposed help the American people so they feel no need to get out and support it.



How dunderheaded can Tweety be?

Let the man answer a question before you cut him off. O'Reilly and Matthews are both blowhards who never give their guests a chance to finish a sentence.

What a flipping asshole! Question asked and answered shithead. Digging deeper doesn't make you look better only more idiotic because you are either not listening, or clearly don't understand the reality that when politicians don't listen, they don't get reelected. Ffs!

This is why I don't regularly watch the news.

Like most people on mainstream media Tweety is a well paid corporate propagandist. His job is to push fake narratives and prevent reality from getting out while pretending he's a journalist.

They drowned out Tweety's close with their applause (which is funny - Tweety usually drowns others out). And, when they're scanning the crowd, the kids are just beaming.
