On Sunday, Chris Matthews said Donald Trump is resonating with the “little guy” because he is taking on the elites who have betrayed working Americans on issues like trade and immigration.
On Meet The Press, Matthews said there is a “sense of betrayal” because “the best and the brightest have given the country away on the border, on debt, on jobs.”
“They feel they’ve been betrayed by the elite and Donald Trump ironically is fighting the elite here and the little guy is rooting for him,” Matthews said. Host Chuck Todd also conceded that the “the more we in the media attack him the more powerful he gets.”
Those are exactly the points former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin made in her exclusive Breitbart News op-ed last week. Pain wrote that “the elites are shocked by Trump’s dominance, but everyday Americans aren’t.”
“Everywhere I’ve gone this summer, including motorsport events in Detroit full of fed up Joe Six-Pack Americans, the folks I meet commiserate about wussified slates of politicians, but then unsolicited, they whisper their appreciation for Trump because he has the guts to say it like it is,” Palin wrote. “Trump’s unconventional candidacy is a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians who campaign one way and govern another. But it’s not just how Trump says it, it’s what he’s saying.”

And you are one of those elites, Matthews. How do you like it?
Grudgingly they are starting to show Trump some respect.
Hillary claims that she wants to “fight” for “da little peoples”. She’s chock full ‘o’ ****! Hillary is “fighting” for powah and money. Nothing more. Just say no to Hillary. Her days with her hand in the pockets of the American people are over. She needs to go home and be a grandmother.
Once in a while, even a liberal gets it right.
Kinda makes you wonder why he gets tingles up his thighs over people like that?
Did Matthews stop drinking. he actually makes sense here. Although Captain Obvious could have made the same observation.
The best and brightest are in the hinterlands making this country work. The parasitic drones are in DC writing laws which any 10 year old can see are stupid.
I think it is interesting that Chuck Todd admits that the media attacks Trump.
Trump has the "mad as hell" vote. I'd guess that's about 80% of US citizens. The democrats in that category are not going to switch to any of the other, more establishment, Republicans.
“the more we in the media attack him the more powerful he gets.”
Oh oh! A Freudian slip. I thought the media was supposed to report facts not “attack “.
Trump is hardly a “little guy”
Tingles states the bloody obvious
Should say, "including, but not at all limited to, trade and immigration." And the "betrayers" include most all Democrats and the GOPe.
I am waiting for Cruz and Trump to start saying that the Democrats purposefully got us into this mess . . . because that is REALLY what happened.
Very heartwarming seeing libs praise Trump.
Who said he was?
They won't be able to stop themselves though. Heh.
Regardless of who wins the Republican nomination we know exactly where Matthews will be, he will be on the side of the demo/socialist Elites, those of his own ilk.
Ping to you, Laz, more ammo for your Elites Versus Us theory.
