MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that debating rural voters over their support for former President Donald Trump was “like fighting terrorism.”
Matthews said, “I tell you, it’s very tough, because people that didn’t go to college have a pretty good rage on their hands. That’s what you really want in an election, is a rage. It can be black rage, or white rage, or rural rage. In this case is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite. They look at people on television, they say, ‘Oh, those people on Saturday Night Live those snarling rich kids, I know who they are. They’re all trust funders. They don’t need us, they don’t have to worry about us.’ And the regular guy in the country goes, ‘There they are snarling and making fun of us again.’ And every time we make fun of Trump, we’re making fun of them.”

Effete snob, much?
He still has a show? Last time I heard his name he had a tingle down his leg thinking of Obama back in 2008.
So, the rage-filled rural folks are taking this personally? Because the rural folks in the heartland identify with Trump? Trump the billionaire NYC real estate mogul, bestselling author, TV star genius with the advanced degree from the Wharton School of Business? The rural folks see themselves when they see this guy? Is that was Matthews is saying?
These people in the DC/NY bubble have a very twisted, ideological, and cartoonish view of Americans
Hey Chris you idiot. Plenty of us in fly over country went to college and plenty of folks who didn’t that are way smarter than you..
This degradation of those who don’t fall for you crap just reinforces why you people are evil and should never be supported.
“people that didn’t go to college” . . . more accurately, “people who weren’t brainwashed at radical leftist universities”.
I live in the south, was reared in rural areas and I was college educated. I have known a number of poor dirt farmers with more logical, common sense than pre-programmed Ivy league drones. While they lack “education”, generally they possess far more wisdom than the average Ivy league drone. Those dirt farmers had to study and devise solutions to their problems every day of their lives, so they learned how to think for themselves . . . not a common skill among IV leaguers.
He sure has gone to the dark side. I remember when he substitute hosted for Rush back in the day.

Hey Chrissie! Rural folks are at least 20 times as intelligent as you are, moron. And your arrogance/condescension is pathetic when compared to the rural folks’ humility. I would rather have one of them for a neighbor than someone as high-minded as you. 🙄🙄🙄
Very well said. And the absolute truth. 👍🏻👍🏻
never confuse education with intelligence ...
Take one of each, put them in the woods with nothing and see who survives.
Matthews has his nose so high in the air that he has to pick flies out of it.
it could be worse....if they were all toxic white catholic straight males
Leftists like Mathew hate it because rural folks think for themselves and don’t need talking heads like him to tell them what to think. City folks are Mathews audience.
He’s doing comedy now?
Yada yada yada. Meshugennah.
That was David Brooks, not Chris Matthews.
If you go to the 1:50 mark, you’ll see the other panelists grow visibly weary of Tingles’ gum-flapping. What a ponderous bag of flatulence.
