If Bernie Sanders becomes the Dem nominee, the GOP might wind up having to pay royalties to Chris Matthews . . On this evening's Hardball, Matthews aired what he himself said could be an anti-Bernie Republican ad, cobbled together from clips of various radical statements Sanders has made over the years. In Chris' commercial, Sanders is seen saying he's a socialist, confirming he's not a capitalist, admitting that he applied for conscientious objector status, indicating that he would raise taxes to somewhere between 50 and 90%, and preaching political "revolution." Workers of the world: unite behind Bernie! View the video...

If you want Chris Matthews to change his mind, just wait a minute. In just over a minute on Morning Joe today, Matthews changed his election prediction from agreeing with Joe Scarborough that Trump would win and that Bernie Sanders would squeak out a victory to changing his prediction to a win by Hillary Clinton. However, the most fascinating part of his quick change of prediction was his frozen face when put on the spot by Scarborough as weird undulations played out over the surface. A body language expert could have a field day analyzing what was going through the...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews shares his feelings about tomorrow's Iowa caucus during the network's live Sunday night political coverage in Des Moines.

For years MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews has accused conservatives and Republicans of opposing Barack Obama simply because he's the country‘s first black president and therefore, they're a bunch of racists. "Who‘s going to watch a debate between the two Cuban guys? Who‘s gonna watch a debate between Rubio, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz? Who cares!" Matthews said on his show Tuesday night.

Imagine that in some future presidential election, two Mexican-American candidates are vying for the Dem nomination. The Dem front-runner announces he won't participate in the next debate. And a conservative pundit sneeringly says "who's going to watch a debate between the two Mexican guys?" Now imagine all hell descending on that hapless conservative for his breach of political correctness. Will anything similar befall Chris Matthews? Of course not. But on Hardball this evening, as news was breaking that Donald Trump won't participate in Thursday's debate in protest over Megyn Kelly's presence on the panel, Matthews said "who's going to watch...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews came to the defense of Hillary Clinton Tuesday afternoon, and argued that a "vast right-wing conspiracy" is working hard to undermine her dreams of winning the White House. The moment occurred as the cable news host complained that a participant in Monday's CNN town hall told Clinton to her face that many young voters don't see her as an honest person. Several recent polls show that voters have grave misgivings about Clinton's ability to tell the truth, and the ongoing federal investigation into her private State Department email server continues to dog her campaign every step...

From MSNBC Hardball.

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that “I do believe in reparations, if he could figure out what it would be” in a discussion on Democratic presidential candidate Senator Sen. Bernie Sanders ’ (I-VT) position on the issues on Wednesday.

Hey Chris Matthews: is GloZell qualified to be President of the United States? How about John Travolta or Joy Behar? On his MSNBC show this evening, Matthews absurdly attacked Sarah Palin's legitimacy as a Trump endorser by questioning her presidential qualifications. GloZell, Travolta and Behar are all Hillary endorsers. So how about it Chris: which of them could you imagine in the Oval Office? Trump advocate Omarosa Manigault [a former Apprentice star] ably dismissed Matthews' absurd attack, saying she was supporting The Donald for president, not Palin or anyone else. View the video here.

Mark Levin is American media's most knowledgeable, passionate proponent of constitutional conservatism. No wonder Chris Matthews hates him. On his MSNBC show this evening, Matthews slurred Levin as "one of the most distasteful human beings out there." Matthews' attack came in the context of commenting on the defense that Levin and Rush Limbaugh have mounted against Donald Trump's claim that Ted Cruz is "nasty." View the video here.

..... I’m not here to praise Hillary or to bury her: the first is unnecessary and the second impossible. I’m also not here to provide false hope for the so-called American left, which is far too mesmerized by the debased spectacle of presidential politics and is about to get patronized, bamboozled and bulldozed one more time, and I’m definitely not here to shill for the Democratic Party, whose current identity crisis is embodied with eerie precision in the personage of Hillary Clinton.Maybe you’ve heard about this: Hillary Clinton, who used to be secretary of state and before that a senator...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews has been scoffing at Donald Trump's description of Hillary Clinton as an "enabler" of her husband's serial abuse of women. Trump said: "(Hillary's) got a problem. She's married to a person that's a serious abuser -- and I mean, at the highest level. She's not an innocent victim. She was the one that would go along with him in this whole game ... In disbelief, Matthews responded: "I have never heard anybody go after Hillary Clinton and say she's an enabler." This is the equivalent of Keith Olbermann's indignant claim -- after it was pointed out that...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Hillary Clinton. I mentioned earlier in the previous hour that she was stumped when asked to explain the difference between Democrats and socialists. It happened actually last night where Hillary was unable to explain the difference between Democrats and socialists. She said, "Uh, uh, you know, uh, you... you ... you ... you'd have to ask. I'm not one." It happened on PMSNBC. It was Chris Matthews asking her what the difference in a Democrat and a socialist is and whether or not she identified as a socialist. She said (summarized), "No, no, no, no, I'm not...

She's not the innocent person sitting by his side, with tears in her eyes ..." In disbelief, Matthews responded: "I have never heard anybody go after Hillary Clinton and say she's an...

By this time, Chris Matthews must be panicked. When he asked DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to explain the difference between Democrats and socialists, the MSNBC host expressed considerable angst that the party’s leading officer couldn’t do so. "I used to think there was a big difference," Matthews lamented at the time.Fast forward five months. Matthews posed the question to the party’s leading candidate for its presidential nomination, and … Hillary Clinton couldn’t explain it either. Who else can Matthews ask? Joe Manchin, please pick up the red courtesy phone: CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO Newsbusters has the...

Not merely does Chris Matthews claim that Hillary Clinton was "shocked" to learn that Bill was having an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Matthews can't imagine anybody thinking she wasn't shocked. On today's With All Due Respect, Matthews said "I don't think anybody thought that she wasn't shocked when this Monica thing came about. You just look at her face in the old clips. You can see she couldn't believe it had happened." Of course. After all, Monica is on record in the Starr Report saying that Bill confided to her that he had "hundreds" of affairs before the age of...

During an appearance yesterday on MSNBC, “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that if progressives weren’t so consumed with discussing the antics of Donald Trump, they’d realize that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a “scarier” candidate for president. “I expect if [Trump] keeps in there fighting against somebody like Cruz they’re going to realize something that really is scary to most moderates and progressives, that Cruz is scarier than Trump and that will be a frightening prospect to realize that Trump is the more – well, he’s not acceptable to progressives, but when you look at him against Cruz,” Matthews said....

Hahaha MRCs Dan Joseph got under Chris “Tingles” Matthews skin at the CNN GOP Debate asking if he still had that thrill up his leg for obama. The crap media will never admit obama and his radical agenda has been nothing short of a train wreck for the nation. If they think for one second they will be off the hook come Jan 2017 they better think otherwise. We are going to remind them of every stupid thing they have said and done protecting the worst president in US history. Tingles you better get used to this kind of abuse...

I knew this was going to be weird and awkward, and it was. El Trumpo visited with MSNBC’s favorite halfwit anchor Chris Matthews after the debate tonight, and his final question was basically, aren’t you a racist? Here’s the whole interview, but the weirdness comes at the end:(video at link)It just got really quiet and awkward. Keep in mind that the only candidate that Matthews hates worse than Trump is Cruz, so it was very difficult for him to be as civil to him as he was. Depending on whether you like Trump or not, he was either dodging the...

Shortly after Ted Cruz told GOP power brokers that Trump lacked the "judgement" to be president, Kellyanne Conway who runs Cruz's Keep the Promise I super PAC justified RNC plans to strip Trump of the nomination at a brokered convention even if he wins the most votes and plurality of delegates KC: No, it's not cheating. Chris Matthews: The candidate who gets the plurality of votes - the most votes should be the nominee? KC: No, I'd have to look at the math.
