On a special post-GOP debate edition of Hardball Thursday night Chris Matthews turned up the spin to brush the dirt off of Donald Trump. “I thought the funniest line tonight was when Rubio was doing his upper cuts … He said “you hired illegal immigrants,†people without documentation and trump says “you've never hired anybody.â€â€

“I'm sorry that still is Trump's trump card and it is, that he's built and these other guys are junior debaters who have just come in the Senate. They've done nothing in their lives except learn how to debate on television basically.†Matthews jabbed. “He debates on television almost or equal in most cases or sometimes better, and he's actually had a career building stuff. “

Fawning over the buildings Trump has built, he insinuated that Trump was a better kind of billionaire and one who didn’t “make money from money.†“Henry Ford built cars! Thomas Edison built lightbulbs! At least there is a reason-- Society got something from their wealth in exchange.â€
It was the most unnatural, phony thing in the world. And I hope people when they watch this know this was all choreographed. It was all part of a P.R. operation,” Matthews said on MSNBC.
It’s ridiculous. I wish they would have the debates in a studio instead of auditoriums. No audience to play silly stacking games with, no applause lines, no boos.
I get this picture of a guy growing a pair in high heels.
There’s been several times recently Chris Matthews has been a decent person...
Chris will turn on us like vultures during the generals.
but I haven’t been following that closely.
Does he like Trump? Is it sincere.
he was once a long long time ago ALMOST fair.
Matthews gave Trump a great idea in an interview before Iowa to do ads focusing on the wide variety of industries his organization spans, but especially the buildings so I do think he respects him and his career more than the other candidates.
Chris likes Trump. Sees Trump as the champion for Joe Six Pack, and that is who Chris always champions also. Plus Chris, being a good Irish boy, feels an affinity with other Celts, and Trump is half Scottish.
Matthews did say to Trump that he was a “lot of fun” in that phone interview after New Hampshire and congratulated him on a “personal level” so I agree they are in sync in a way not seen yet with the other candidates.
Then Trump rolls over and dies in the general, and Queen Hillary is crowned (and stays out of prison to boot).
Things are going exactly according to plan, so Chrissy is pleased.
When will Republicans ever wake up and realize they're being scammed?
When it actually happens; in which case you will be the at the bleeding edge of the bell curve for "smart."
Till then... you're a fruit-loop.
"I thought the funniest line tonight was when Rubio was doing his upper cuts... He said "you hired illegal immigrants," people without documentation and trump says "you've never hired anybody."Advantage, Trump. Pissy Chrissie got one right for a change! That college drinking game where you have to chug a beer when he gets one right? Well, it has led to sober campuses up until now.
I find watching Chris Matthews for more than 20 seconds to be almost physically painful.
does he get a tingle up his leg? or what that a trickle down his leg?
don’t trust him in the end. I can’t after some of the things he’s said the past decade.
<Plus Chris, being a good Irish boy, feels an affinity with other Celts, and Trump is half Scottish.
LOL! You do know that's ridiculous. It's usually considered the opposite. For example, Irish soccer players get booed by their own side in the Scottish league.
