Nice way to support democracy! Bluepinky Feb 2020 #9

By working to make sure it doesn't crumble around us? Yes. I think so. Squinch Feb 2020 #12

By comparing a Jew to a Nazi? OliverQ Feb 2020 #17

Read that again. My statement, and I think Matthews's, is that if BS wins, then Trump wins, and Squinch Feb 2020 #20

Why do you assume BS would lose to Trump? OliverQ Feb 2020 #24

It seems that whenever I answer that question honestly, and present the facts Squinch Feb 2020 #26

And it's happened again. Squinch Feb 2020 #30

This is the huge flaw in many Sanders supporters' thinking... brooklynite Feb 2020 #32

And they work diligently to silence those who voice different opinions. Squinch Feb 2020 #33

Well, I'm basing things on the demographics Bernie OliverQ Feb 2020 #37

Well, I'm basing things on history and numbers, but again, I don't seem to be allowed to Squinch Feb 2020 #41

Based on history, all moderates would lose to Trump. OliverQ Feb 2020 #44

You don't think Obama was a moderate Democrat? Because we're talking about Democrats. Squinch Feb 2020 #45

Obama was a moderate, but he campaigned a bit more liberal... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #49

So a moderate candidate won twice out of three elections in this century. Squinch Feb 2020 #50

It sounds like you're seeing a contradiction within my post, but I'm not seeing it... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #61

Sorry. I should have said that to Oliver who said no moderate has won in this century. Squinch Feb 2020 #62

re: "moderates have won 2 out of 3 races {this century}, and progressives have won none." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #65

We put up a lot of progressives in 2018. They got trounced. I mean, really demolished. Squinch Feb 2020 #66

Ah, yes, I was talking about Presidents. Local dynamics can be different. BUT... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #68

I am sure you are perfectly well aware that your post is absurd. Squinch Feb 2020 #69

Apparently the people voting in Nevada, Iowa and NH don't agree. Bluepinky Feb 2020 #23

Funny how, a month ago, IA and NH were "unrepresentative" in these parts. brooklynite Feb 2020 #59

THIS. And people wonder why the terms "elite" and "establishment" are used by voters who KPN Feb 2020 #55

So, if Bernie is the Democratic candidate will you still vote Democratic? Farmer-Rick Feb 2020 #18

Is that supposed to be a gotcha? I can't stand BS. Never could. But if it comes down to Squinch Feb 2020 #22

No, it was an honest question. Farmer-Rick Feb 2020 #27

Yes. Unequivocally. CanonRay Feb 2020 #35

I will vote for a Democrat Evergreen Emerald Feb 2020 #51

Your opinion is not based on fact. OliverQ Feb 2020 #19

Hey! Remember me? underpants Feb 2020 #3

LOL exactly. I remember him being subjected to a LOT of criticism here back in the day. redqueen Feb 2020 #11

Agreed and their excuses for him are pathetic. n/t MarcA Feb 2020 #57

If Bernie was wearing a Cod Piece and strutting across a aircraft carrier bahrbearian Feb 2020 #34

He only flew it as a passenger, but he's flown -- underpants Feb 2020 #36

I just looked him up. Pat Caddell died in February. So... Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2020 #42

He is mentally unstable. He should resign. dbolski Feb 2020 #4

It is long past time for Mathews to retire. dbonds Feb 2020 #5

Like many over 65, some can't afford to financially retire jimfields33 Feb 2020 #13

Matthews makes $20 million a year PatSeg Feb 2020 #21

I can pretty much guarantee you that's not the case with Matthews. n/t Downtown Hound Feb 2020 #31

Mathews has went off the deep end, again, he should be fired but MSM needs him to get Dump reelected yaesu Feb 2020 #6

This is only a tiny example of what Trump will be saying. If you can't stand the patricia92243 Feb 2020 #7

I'm not a fan of Bernie, at all. cwydro Feb 2020 #8

He should have retired long before that statement. bearsfootball516 Feb 2020 #10

It's more like the French Revolution and the over throw if the bourgeoisie 4139 Feb 2020 #14

Yeah, it as if no one knows he is Jewish Farmer-Rick Feb 2020 #15

Maybe Jewish groups ignore him because he honors the US Constitution Bluepinky Feb 2020 #40

Bernie's family was killed in the Holocaust. OliverQ Feb 2020 #16

Did he speak of fascism when trump was running ? I don't have cable and only know his name lunasun Feb 2020 #25

Chris matthews is, and alwasy will be, a blubbering gasbag Downtown Hound Feb 2020 #29

He wasn't calling Bernie a Nazi ... dawg Feb 2020 #39

He should be fired melman Feb 2020 #43

Nazis? Trump "emboldened" them. keithbvadu2 Feb 2020 #46

I'm not a fan but this sounds far too much like 45. nolabear Feb 2020 #47

I turn the channel because I am tired of his interrupting his guests duforsure Feb 2020 #48

My opinion of him just SKYROCKETED!!! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #52

LOL! Oh the poutrage! Its OVER! was his only point. Sheesh, like there isn't enough real stuff jmg257 Feb 2020 #53

Forget his political views, he's a terrible interviewer. rickford66 Feb 2020 #56

I'm beginning to see why Bernie complained about the fairness of MSNBC's coverage. Aaron Pereira Feb 2020 #60

Chris should have retired a while ago - he says lots of dumb shit. polichick Feb 2020 #63

Matthews should have been fired for much worse than this Blue_Tires Feb 2020 #64
