Chris Matthews Likens Bernie’s Strong Nevada Showing to France Falling to Nazi Germany in WWII
Daily Beast via Yahoo News ^ | Feb 22, 2020

Cable news personalities had a lot to say about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (D-VT) early lead in the Nevada caucuses Saturday, with MSNBC's Chris Matthews likening it to the shock of France falling to Germany during WWII.

“It looks like Bernie Sanders is hard to beat... I think it's a little late to stop him, and that's the problem,” Matthews said during a panel segment. “It's pretty much over unless that changes.”

He then dropped the eyebrow-raising WWII reference, seemingly as a way to describe how Sanders has—in his view—clinched the Democratic nomination.

“I'm reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940. And the general calls up Churchill and says, ‘It’s over,’” Matthews said. “And Churchill says, ‘How can it be? You got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?’ He said, ‘It's over.’”

Other pundits also marveled at Sanders’ lead, with CNN’s Van Jones claiming the jaws of the Democratic “establishment” were “hanging off their faces.”

“Nobody thought six months ago thought we would be sitting here with Bernie Sanders on his way to the nomination. He's on his way to the nomination,” he said. “Something could happen to stop him. Somebody may have some marbles to throw at the stairs or banana peel, they better find it. Because this guy is off and running.”

Jones commented on the impressive Latino turnout for the Vermont senator, claiming that he was “running as if he's a Latino candidate now.”

This is why the Democrats want open borders. No matter what people pretend, the minority vote goes to the candidate who promises the most free stuff.

I guess that will make President Trump the equivalent of Patton, or Eisenhower come November.

So is it safe to say that Chris doesn’t get a tingle in his leg from Bernie?

I thought sissy Matthews reads the words of Saul Alinsky when he’s feeling down what’s old Saul say about this?

What Chris Matthews doesn’t recognize, is that the Democrat party he sides with is actually the Republican party under Trump.

The left has no one to blame but themselves for Bernie Mania in their party. The voters are deciding they want an upfront socialist instead of the closeted ones that pose as “centrists” when election time comes around. The RAT commentators are having meltdowns all over the place this evening.

First reaction, melodramatic...

I’ll have to give that more thought.

Matthews on air last year said “well what’s wrong with socialism.” Sounds like he doesn’t want to find out first hand!

The socialists work at this 24/7/365. Everybody is too busy with their lives, and they only will wake up after it’s too late.
