(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Chris Matthews is asked what working-class voters thinks about Donald Trump and explains the "patriotic feelings" Trump elicits. Matthews said Americans feel that the elites have betrayed the country and the country itself has let them down.

"A lot of this support for Trump with all his flaws which he displays regularly is about the country. Patriotic feelings people have," Matthews said Friday. "They feel the country has been let down. They feel that our elite leaders on issues like immigration, they don't regulate any immigration it seems, they don't regulate trade to our advantage, to the working man's or working woman's advantage, they take us into stupid wars. Their kids don't fight but our kids do. It's patriotic. They believe in their country."

"Hillary is the symbol of the establishment," Matthews described the view of Trump supporters....

I’m not sure what to make of this, except to say that Matthews has been caught in a rare moment of clear, unbiased observation.

I don’t believe for a minute that his ideological center has moved.

They feel the country has been let down.

Tingkes...for the first time in your life you're getting warm.We *know* that the country has been not just let down but deliberately damaged.

Perfect graphic!

Surprisingly good insight from a guy who normally has his head so far up his butt he can see out his belly button. Of course recognizing feelings of patriotism in others is nowhere near to having them himself.

But he tingle, I’d say, is officially gone.

Voting Trump is the ultimate middle finger to the libtard “intellectuals” who want to punish white people for being white, stamp out Christian values and make the country a “safe place” for every kind of pervert and degenerate imaginable. It’s a “screw you” to the college-indoctrinated know-it-alls who seek to drive us away from God’s word and toward insane nonsense like evolution. I look forward to cleansing and restoring America under a Trump regime and taking America back using the power he will give us to do so.

Is this a middle finger —— or more (partial burn of the village)?

Do they mind some pain to get back on track? Hard working folks will roll up their sleeves —— the others will just pontificate

“... make the country a “safe place” for every kind of pervert and degenerate imaginable...”

If Clinton is elected and our so-called immigration policy remains the same, they are going to be shocked that their “safe place” won’t exist very long after Sharia law and the muslims take over...

This piece of shit, Matthews, was badgering the third party candidate, Johnson, to name his favorite foreign leader. He kept on and on and on about it. Johnson was incapable of a coherent response.

But the reason he was doing this, and that ABC was dutifully reporting on it, was that Johnson was stealing votes from Hillary. They know they need every possible vote and they're pulling out all the stops to push the Hillary cadaver over the line.

And this message is the one Trump has to ride if he wants to get elected.

Hillary = political elites that have betrayed the country.
Trump = the one man left who will oppose them and save the country.

Hollywood couldn’t write a better script. Trump just needs to channel his anger the right way and look statesmanlike doing it.

It sounds like Tingles finally awakened from the stupor he’s been in for years.
