We could use a lot more Johnny Carson. But no thanks on Trump.

Too bad Matthews doesn’t have the same ability to connect with audiences.

Being compared to Carson is high praise, although Matthews thinks its a put down.

The Carnak the Great routine was a classic. Hilarious!

Matthews has been correct so far. Trump & Cruz will win every primary.

There is a lot of truth to what Mathews was saying. I have long marveled at Trumps ability to hold an audience armed with nothing but free flowing sentiment, spiced up with jokes or condemnations as per the occasion. Interaction with and acknowledgement of his audience is key.

No he wasn’t, he was a Democrat. It was his producer Fred De Cordova that was a republican and who was a close friend of Reagan’s.

it sure was. Remember when everyone used to go to bed with Johnny Carson? Depending on where you lived of course.

No ... but if you’re going to do the obligatory snarky anti-Trump comment on every thread, at least make it interesting ...very low energy and boring
