About 8 minutes in.

1. I guess National Review didn't get the memo, they implied Bernie Sanders was a "National Socialist".

2. Matthews like O'Donnell is an advocate for the Establishment

I love the smell of fear from the Clinton camp and their top advocates. She supposedly has such a commanding lead in the polls that they need to take down Bernie 6+ months before the first caucus and primary.

And as long as they keep those pesky reporters away from Hillary, she won't make any public faux pas. Ah, the stench of oligarchy.

[corkhead]

8. they're trying to take him down before the 1st debate

[djean111]

3. Gasp! You mean I only support Bernie, and not Hillary, because the GOP tricked me?

Didn't we go through this a while back?

What utter bullshit.

[bobbobbins01]

28. He calls it the Cruz Missile.

And you never see it coming. One minute you're squarely in the Hillary camp, then blammo! Ted Cruz's verbal sorcery has you voting for some septuagenarian communist.

[djean111]

29. Ha! Good one!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

4. If you are depending on Chris Matthews to keep you informed

you're part of the problem, not the solution. Chris is one of the millionairs the billionairs pay to keep the rest of us voting against our own best interest.

Edited to add; Trump is a vast left wing conspiracy

[Enthusiast]

6. +1!

[Enthusiast]

5. I question anything said on MSNBC. Especially what is said on the Tweety Show.

[virtualobserver]

15. unless he's getting a tingle up his leg for you, Tweety is worthless.....

He had a bromance with Tom Delay.

[Enthusiast]

16. Did he have a bromance with Tom Delay? I did not know this. But it comes as no surprise.

[virtualobserver]

17. He loves anyone who refuses to back down

regardless of their policy views...."political courage"

[Enthusiast]

20. Adolf wouldn't back down. Stalin wouldn't back down. That's a real fine measure of a

political leader, Tweety!

[haikugal]

26. So is his 'tingle'..... Ewww

[George II]

7. So Ted Cruz likes Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Strange bedfellows indeed!!

And to those knocking Chris Matthews, he didn't put those words into Ted Cruz' mouth.

[haikugal]

27. No but anything out of Ted's mouth should be considered untrue. nt

[frylock]

9. It's gonna be a laugh riot when it backfires on them..

and Sanders is elected as POTUS.

[freshwest]

10. Sorry, can't watch 8 minutes of batshit Cruz to get to the story. He makes me vomit. n/t

[marble falls]

12. Describes my thoughts exactly and the little weasel is one of my Senators.

[immoderate]

11. Looks like Cruz is blushing! Tweety caught him!

[zeemike]

13. Or the reverse psychology of getting the bad guy

to favor your opponent to convince people to not support him...If Ted Cruz wants him we must not.
Oh the games people play with our head.

[Gothmog]

14. The GOP is scared of Hillary Clinton

[CapnSteve]

18. As well they should be...she wins the general in a walk.

Now, my lovely fellow DU'ers, don't get your knickers in a twist that I am not a Bernie convert! Can't we just watch the GOP tear each other apart with the awesome knowledge that we have an incredible field of Democratic contenders?

I was a John Edwards supporter, then I went Hillary, then (after attending an incredible speech by President Obama) I supported Barack. At the moment, I am with Hillary, but it is early.

My dream is that Hillary picks a Gore as a running mate, just for maximum right-wing head explosions! And, oh please, let Trump run 3rd party!

[Gothmog]

22. As a Texan, I am hoping that she picks Julian Castro

The Texas Democratic Party printed some of these bumperstickers over a year ago

[CapnSteve]

25. Amen! As a fellow Texan, Castro would be awesome!

[daleanime]

19. If true, wouldn't be the first time.....

that their plans backfired on them.

[sulphurdunn]

21. I'm beginning to feel

like I should buy a ticket to watch this comedy. When someone like Teddy start spewing big numbers to support his position and Tweety doesn't challenge them, you need a fact checker.

23. I noticed Charles "Sauerkraut" Krauthammer trying to do the same thing with Elizabeth Warren

Believe it or not, the biggest booster trying to get Elizabeth Warren to enter the 2016 Presidential race is Charles Krauthammer. Although, his motivations for wanting that are about as deep as applesauce on a plate.

24. Do you really think you can believe Ted Cruz?

However you should consider the billionaires have made a bigger investment in Hillary than in republican candidates. You should also understand that these same billionaires control main stream media and work closely with their political hack minions, Ted Cruz, Trump, Graham etc. to create the images they believe will allow them to manipulate the electorate.
The billionaires hate Bernie. He says bad things about them and they do not like it. He also supports changes to the status quo that would adversely affect their pocketbook. Of course O'Malley does this too, but Hillary does not because she is their best investment and would return their investment a hundred times over if elected.

[tazkcmo]

30. If only it were true!

The GOP is full of idiots. If they actually promoted Sanders it would just increase the number of moderate, not-batshit-crazy Republicans that are horrified by their choices giving Sen. Sanders and Gov. O'Malley a serious look. They're probably not going to vote for Sec. Clinton due to the 25 years of relentless attacks and smearing but I'm sure there are some that are considering her. Anyway, if this really was some RW conspiracy, I'm confident they'd screw it up and shoot themselves in the foot.
