‘This Isn’t Going to Work’: Matthews Shuts Down Trump Surrogate
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/21/2016 5:50:49 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On last evening’s Hardball, when Trump surrogate Steve Cortes said that voters across America aren't bothered by Donald Trump’s refusal to blindly accept the election outcome, Chris Matthews shut him down. After calling Cortes an “elitist,” Matthews declared “this isn’t going to work,” cut Cortes off, and moved to reliable liberal Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post.

By coincidence, in this morning’s Quick Hits, this Insurrectionist wrote “the liberal echo chamber has contracted a bad case of the vapors over Trump’s statement, but hard to believe many actual voters out in America give much of a darn.” Guess elitist minds think alike 😉

Chrissy is just a whiny leftist troll.

If he can’t have his way he takes his ball and goes home.

This voter, at least, doesn’t want to think that Trump- is going to blindly accept a visibly rfraudulent election. Electronic vote manipulation is entirely too easy now for us to blindly accept the official results. Soros gets to invent the totals he wants from what is it now? 16 states? Florida and New York are included in his vote counting area.

This whole kerfuffle really says a lot about Democrat intentions. Gore, Kerry, and Clinton are all on record complaining about election results not being fair. Bush was “selected” not “elected”. It’s well-established.

Now they want Trump to pledge to unilaterally allow any shenanigans to be accepted. No matter what happens. No matter how obvious the fraud. Trump has to say upfront that he will not “cause trouble”.

Pretty blatant on the Dem’s part. Their plan is clear. But Trump is throwing a monkey wrench in the works by saying “I’ll look at the situation”.

It wasn’t supposed to go down like that.

The problem here is the whole concept of surrogacy, which is mostly known as a freak birthing procedure. Half the time, Trump surrogates aren’t even on message.

Chris Matthews shuts down Trump surrogate who says Americans aren’t bothered by Trump refusing to blindly accept election outcome.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I like the scroll below the photo.

So the AMA - who never sees Hillary nor a government program they don’t like - believes Her Bitchness doesn’t whine?

“The problem here is the whole concept of surrogacy, which is mostly known as a freak birthing procedure. Half the time, Trump surrogates aren’t even on message.”

That simply reinforces the fact that there isn’t anyone else in politics like Trump.

Very telling that the establishment is in a blind panic over this.

“How dare the peasants not accept what we tell them.”

I think Katrina Pierson is the most reckless Trump surrogate of all. It seemed she had disappeared, but now I see she’s still out there, most recently defending Trump’s ‘nasty woman’ crack about Hillary.

The danger to the Republic is in Leftist attempts to steal the vote - not in Donald Trump's words pointing it out.

This should be obvious even to a journalist, but I guess the great game of "Let's Pretend" has now taken such deep root in DC that even daring to mention that the game exists can get one killed. Certainly, the RINOs believe - and tremble.

Chris Matthews has a mental problem. His years living in the mindset of Lefty Marxism has caused brain damage. Severe brain damage. It is a totalitarian mindset that demands total control of the narrative and does not allow any thinking other than his own.

The totalitarian mindset of the Left affects others, like a bite from a zombie or a rabid dog. Once affected, the mind degenerates into a mental illness. Chris Matthews is proof.

These fools know damn well what Trump meant of course. This is another created outrage.

I expect the candidate, especially my candidate that I cast MY vote for to protest if it is close. I want MY vote to somehow count and be counted.

What Gore did in 2000 though was a travesty and put the whole country through hell for weeks. Hanging chads my butt.

Does matthews live in a cave? Nobody could be that white unless he did or doesn’t have any blood.

Two comments:

1) I was surprised that Chris Wallace popped this question at the end of a reasonably well-moderated debate. Maybe he was trying to be cute and resurrect the "pledge to support" question of the GOP primary. Maybe not.

2) The media jumping on this almost in unison isn't surprising. Maybe the whole thing was set up in advance. Certainly, Hillary's "Horrible" comment dovetailed into this in a way that doesn't seem spontaneous. Some of the presstitutes were even talking about Trump supporting "potential violence" if the election results weren't to his liking. "How un-American!"

Matthews is, bar none, the biggest jackass on TV.
