Matthews is old school. I think he had some good advice for President Biden.

He was a better political analyst and commentator than most of the folks working in that space today.

He was a Center Dem and called out bullshit.. No issue. When it came down to it he did support the Dems.

devil's advocate with his guests a lot, but I took it as his way of shaping a discussion. It was his style, but usually he got things right.

I do miss the knowledge base he has and am glad when he does come on now.

especially Hillary Clinton. He wasn’t a fan of Gore either and helped Bush push the Iraq invasion.

This whole trip has been so demoralizing for us loyal voters out here, and he's been the one to instill some confidence back. I'm grateful for that. 🙏🏼

For cripes sake, attack Trump instead of Biden! So sick of this insanity. Quit wrecking our nominee! The headlines are now about Trump enjoying this change in the landscape. Why hand him that?! Come on! So frustrating and sabotaging.

We are pissed at Nancy Pelosi, Michael Bennett, and George Clooney, but are ok with Chris Matthews, Liz and Dick Cheney, after they came out ripping Trump.


Are we in some different world now?

and Chris Matthews, Liz Cheney , Harrison and others are emphatically supporting Biden

they know where the fight is ......it's not inside the dem party but against Trump and
republicans

and sorry to say many of the dem elite are still boohooing about one debate and are no
longer on board .....or being very wishy washy about it....

I suspect that this shitshow the dems are putting on is causing the republicans,
Putin and China and others to crack open the Champagne

who do they think they can replace Biden with

who are the elites to tell 14M voters who voted for Biden in the primary to Pound sand
and let them decide who will be the nominee..........

That is media spin on what she said. Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out the media spin by playing the full clip of Pelosi from her Morning Joe interview.
