Chris Matthews: Almost All Demagogues Like Trump “Died Hideously”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/17/2018 4:52:57 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

So what does Chris Matthews foresee for President Trump: hanging by the ankles like Mussolini, or firing squad like Ceausescu?

On his MSNBC “Hardball” show, after former acting CIA director John McLaughlin referred to President Trump as a “tyrant,” Matthews says:

“Following your lines, I’ve often thought that demagoguery is not a good long-term career move. The only one I know that got a long-time career out of it was [Spain’s Generalissimo] Franco. The rest of them all died hideously.”

Not meaning to be snarky... but what is coming? When is it coming? If you mean some revelation from govt vaults that prove the whole Russia thing is a wide ranging conspiracy from the DoJ to Langley to Chappaqua to CNN HQ in Atlanta...that is not happening. If evidence exists why has POTUS not declassified that evidence? The conspiracy is real and widespread but proof will never be revealed. The threat to wealth and power of far too many people will keep that from ever happening.

We Normals should be at home cleaning our own weapons and then heading for the range to practice defensive firing.

CWII is here. Those who hate Pres. Trump hate each of us who voted for him. It’s soon going to go from restaurant harassment to something much worse, in my opinion.

Tyrants like Mussolini and Ceauceascu all had their political enemies "disappear", or taken out to the woods, forced to dig a grave, get a bullet in the back of the head, and a bill for the bullet sent to their family, before they were deposed.

If Trump were a tyrant, Chrissy O'Tingles would be moldering in a shallow mass grave somewhere.

“...Not meaning to be snarky... but what is coming?...”

The RED WAVE replacing their blue wave of the mid-terms. That’s what I was referring to.
All that other stuff you’re referring about, I have no idea how/what/if that plays out. However, IF something/someone ever does take down some evil “rich & powerful”, I’d certainly be all for it. :)

Chrissy will probably pass from extensive leg tingling, wearing a red scarf and matching shoes.

Ye, and which Party comes to mind? The Dems never miss a chance to demagogue issues. Trump deals in facts which panics the corrupt swamp people.

demagoguery is defined in the Oxford English Dictonary as follows: Political activity or practices that seek support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument. That perfectly describes what piddle-pants Mathews gets paid for. Hmmm...

MEDIA DEMAGOGUERY is rampant, Matthews.

Apr 2016: NBC: Bad News: Just 6 Percent of People Say They Trust the Media
by Associated Press
Just 6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media, putting the news industry about equal to Congress and well below the public’s view of other institutions...according to a study by the Media Insight Project, a partnership of The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute...

He’s an obnoxious dumb Boston democrat lush.

I think the image of a crowd storming MSNBC and Matthews hanging by his heels is more likely than it happening to Trump.

If Trump were really a demagogue; Mathews would be on a pike ass first with it shoved all the way up to his lungs.

I think I’d like to see that actually.
