Chris Matthews On 2020: 'Why Do You Still Start In Iowa?' | MSNBC

Nothing's more beautiful than seeing rich people cry.

[goodmorning]

Mathews' attack on Bernie Sanders is an outrage. Wallace revealed astonishing stupidity.

[singledoutpictures]

I'll call it. Chris Matthews has lost his mind.

[edwin]

Seeing the death of the 90s neoliberal is great to see

[josullivan]

After 3 yrs, they could not figure it out ? WOW ! Keep these knuckleheads out of office !

[radwulfeboraci]

You vote for delegates, they participate in a national convention either in person or by remote vote, you have a 3-day convention, 3 votes ... winner takes all. This state to state, drag 'em out knock 'em down process taking months, is a waste of time, energy & resources. There are only so many donations and volunteers. The GOP watches you bleed.

“Why start in Iowa?”

Says the party that lost most of the Midwest states in the 2016 general.

[captainjones]

I agree. This is so stupid. Iowa, a state that is over 90% should not be a litmus test for a candidate's electability. A state like Illinois would be a better choice. A diverse population. A good mix of rural and urban. And people living at different income levels.

[lorisirene]

Think of it like a business having a soft opening, it costs less to campaign in a smaller state and still gets news coverage, they can work on their weaknesses and promote their strengths. Iowans are for the most part engaged and welcoming.

[MuckyWaters]

This chris mathews keeps flapping his gums saying a lot of made-up crap about Bernie Sanders, the more he talks the more fired up I am for Bernie.

[timmartin]

Chris looks like he's just about ready to break down and cry lololololol.

[scottpines]

I like u Chris but u gotta stop the Bernie bashing. It's beneath you and shows how out of touch u are.

[jakel]

Why do you still employ Chris Matthews?

[JonathanZeidman]

It's a valid question. Why do a small handful of states decide the nominee, and again the president.

[Mageroeth]

Fire this man is too old now im 29 and i try to watch the news but these people are out of touch with the new world.

[dozerop]

Hey Chris, you need to step down or learn your job again, real journalists are suppose to objective and report news, not cry on national t.v. because your so butthurt that Sanders is crushing it!!! Bernie 2020!!!!

[mikethompson]

How can I get email addresses to the MSNC hosts? This Bernie Bashing is foul!

[kathryntokarska]

Not happy with election process? Maybe you should spend some time talking about Bernie's plans for election reforms.

[michelmcginity]

Listen to James Carville. So sick of DNC, and MSNBC not representing the people. We want the data on Andrew Yang and we do not get it. We the people are excited about Yang and you ignore us. Do not want to be with a corrupt Democratic party. Do not want to stand with trump. Listen to Carville and support the people. trump will be our President again if you continue what you are doing. Ignoring the people. Looking forward to see Yang on stage at Democratic Debate. God Bless James Carville.

Apparently he's not feeling a tingle down his leg
