1. Just coming to that conclusion???????

3. Just happened to catch his show tonight before switching to the Twins game.......................

I know better.................................

8. It's been a good 5 years and probably longer

Since I watched his show. It was easy to come to the conclusion that he is enamored with the sound of his own voice s he talked over whoever was his guest.

He really isn’t worth either the time or effort to watch and is one (but not all) of the reasons I don’t bother with the Cable Infotainment Media.

2. He's long past his sell-by date.

[montanacowboy]

4. He is sooooooooooooooooooooo

past his shelf life
i won't watch him he is disgusting

[maxsolomon]

5. Seems like a good question to be able to answer though

Every candidate who has it in their platform should be able to rattle off a concise response.

Matthews is always playing Devil's Advocate.

6. His former boss was asked the same question by naysayers back in the day (can you spot Chris)

[dem4decades]

10. Not only did I spot Chris, I think I see Tom Hanks too.

7. Liz hasn't been forthcoming about her economic policies

She talks a lot about all the candy she will give out, but never talks about how she will buy it and where it'll come from. This is what she needs to be called to task on at the debate. Everyone gets free everything and no student loans, but she is crickets when it comes about how she will pay it and how it'll be enacted.

9. I have trouble watching Hardball. CM interrupts WAY too much.

Also, he'll ask a long complicated question, then proceed to answer it himself, then pitch to the guest "DON'T YOU AGREE? YES OR NO?" Then he'll interrupt again or move on when they start to expand or explain their answer. It's kind of like watching a stage mom walk their child through telling a joke when they're not confident they'll perform the way they want.

I guess the name "Hardball" is right; you just gotta duck out of the way and let the pitch go by with little chance of hitting it!

[Thekaspervote]

13. Yes, he does do that not allowing the interviewee time to hiccup let alone answer

[Hoyt]

11. It's actually a good question. She's spent that wealth tax 3 times over with all

her campaign promises, and there is still a year to go for more promises.

All the things she is promising would help people. But it won’t do any good if it’s a pipe dream.

12. Tweety Is All Over The Place

He has been on serious probation for me since his schoolgirl fawning over Dubya’s fake aircraft landing years ago.

[TSIAS]

14. He is bad

Nowadays he is little more than a still for the Joe Biden campaign. The entire network is set up to promote his candidacy. Matthews listened when Biden said nothing would fundamentally change if he were president.

[Otto Lidenbrock]

16. biden didn't say that

Link to tweet

What Biden if you read the transcript was those fellas in the audience would still be more than well off even if they were taxed super high.

18. Thanks for Dean "..calling out the cheap shots", Otto..

What Biden said.. if you read the transcript was those fellas in the audience would still be more than well off even if they were taxed super high.

15. Can't stand Matthews

He asks a question, then interrupts about three words into the response. Every. single. time. I'd much rather listen to an interview done by Rachel Maddow. She seldom interrupts, and when she does, she apologizes.

[LincolnRossiter]

17. "How do you plan to pay for 'x' future program" is a hell of a lot fairer and more relevant kind of

scrutiny than Biden gets. Imagine if most of the flak she received was about some verbal flub or 30 year-old shit.

You’d really be pissed then, eh?
