Chris Matthews Likens Bernie's Strong Nevada Showing to France Falling to Nazi Germany in WWII

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

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.’”

4. And how many times did he interrupt someone else

5. Needs to go back to being a security guard in the Congress.

Before he got his big job with "Tip" O'Neil.

6. Oh my . . .

LOL

From my recollection about WW2, France didn't fight, or did so very little fighting before the Nazi's took France.

7. Matthews should be on Fox. He seems a better fit for Nazi propaganda.

8. Oh, Heavens! The sky is falling! Matthews is The Prophet!

Matthews' doom and gloom earn him millionaire status? Now THAT'S success! Someone in the Board Room really likes him.

10. He's right! That was the end of the war, and England surrendered.

11. What a stupid and offensive comparison

It would be stupid and offensive even if Sanders wasn't Jewish, but he IS, so that's an extra layer of WTF?!? NO.
