‘This Isn’t Going to Work’: Matthews Shuts Down Trump Surrogate
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/21/2016 5:50:49 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On last evening’s Hardball, when Trump surrogate Steve Cortes said that voters across America aren't bothered by Donald Trump’s refusal to blindly accept the election outcome, Chris Matthews shut him down. After calling Cortes an “elitist,” Matthews declared “this isn’t going to work,” cut Cortes off, and moved to reliable liberal Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post.

By coincidence, in this morning’s Quick Hits, this Insurrectionist wrote “the liberal echo chamber has contracted a bad case of the vapors over Trump’s statement, but hard to believe many actual voters out in America give much of a darn.” Guess elitist minds think alike 😉

Hillary is a nasty woman. I would defend Trump's comment that she is. In the context of the debate, as Hillary was rattling of her memorized assault on Trump, that comment exploded like a bomb into her assault. The media does not like Trump's effectiveness in such comments and employ, to no avail, their Alinsky effort to neutralize it.

This is one hell of a nasty woman:

No one has brought up the fact that no other candidate in history has never made a statement like Trump made about not accepting uncertified results,
(thats what he was referring to),
because no-one has ever been asked until now.

Did someone take away Matthew’s plush Obama doll?

Do you all think that the vote fraud might be slowed or mitigated somewhat since Mr. Trump is bringing forward these facts?

Al Gore and Al Franken both challenged results - i.e. didn’t respect the vote. One made a damned fool of himself, and the other waited until he got into the Senate to make a damned fool of himself.

So I simply don’t want to hear ANY Dems complaining about Trump challenging results, if it comes to that.

Of course, left unsaid is that many states’ laws REQUIRE a recount if the race is decided by under a certain percentage (0.5% is the most common number, I believe).

No complaining, Dems: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, so STOP WHINING!!!!

Chris Matthews has a mental problem.

Liberalism IS a mental problem. Excluding reality, logic, truth and natural law from your thinking (in favor of emotions) causes it. Cognitive dissonance results.

I think the heavy use of drugs accelerates their degeneration. When the drugs destroy their reasoning sector of the mind, they resort to a mindset that covers for their failure—Leftism. The spiral is illustrated by the flushing of a toilet.

My polling station in Philly is a block away and in a very public place with a lot of covering traffic. Think I’m going to use my new LG V20 to do a little unofficial poll watching. I know I’m looking for buses and out of state plates. What else? What do I do if I see anything really out there?

You are right. The Left is at war with reality. Their whole purpose is to legislate a wish list of what they wish were true, and then suppress opposition to the fantasy, with politically correct bullying.

In taking on the bullies, Trump has stepped into the breach. He has become a veritable Horatio at the bridge, who deserves our earnest support.

Mathews & others seem to have magical memories about the Black Panthers with weapons at the polls in Pennsylvania when Obama was running.

They didn’t get any charges or even arrested.

Keep telling us all again how “THE MEDIA ISN’T BIASED——This is an outright example.

I think Katrina Pierson is the most reckless Trump surrogate of all.

I like Katrina. She's not oily.

She doesn't need to be a "surrogate." Refreshing to see a normal informed person that I can relate to; who reacts, more often than not, the way I do.

I understand how 'the dead' can be on the voter rolls... No one's removed their names. But...

TELL ME CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOW DO THE DEAD FIGURE OUT A WAY TO VOTE... TO USE THE VOTE MACHINE, TO PUNCH THE CARD OR HIT THE TOUCH SCREEN? Tell me, tell me, tell me.

If YOU Christ Matthews can't tell me I'll tell YOU why people out here in flyover aren't shocked by what Trump said... and not only that but....

WE'RE THRILLED FINALLY SOMEONE... FINALLY SOME GOOD PERSON WITHOUT HIS HEAD IN THE SAND... FINALLY SOMEONE... IS SPEAKING FOR US.

Thank you Donald Trump for giving us a voice.

I was surprised that Chris Wallace popped this question at the end of a reasonably well-moderated debate. Maybe he was trying to be cute and resurrect the "pledge to support" question of the GOP primary. Maybe not.

That was so obvious as to be comical.

Simply another lame "GOTCHA! question, a la "Memememegyn Kelly"

Is it really true?
Mememememegyn's viewership has tanked?

She could grow into a so-so weatherchick, I think. Just put on another 40 pounds or so.
