Chris Matthews Compares Some 2020 Dem Voters to Drunks Who Want ‘a Ride Home’ #Political
The early results have been coming in for the New Hampshire primary and the cable reaction is split. Chris Matthews, who has raged against the socialism of Bernie Sanders, on Tuesday compared some Democratic voters to drunks: “There seem to be a civil war between those who want a revolution, which I think is a minority in the party, and those who want a ride home. They want a designated driver. Get ‘em home.” In contrast, CNN’s Van Jones cheered the “phenomenon” of Sanders.
Matthews added, “Whether it is Buttigieg or it’s Amy Klobuchar or maybe Mike Bloomberg. Someone to get them home to where they feel good about their country again.” Speaking of Pete Buttigieg’s campaign, Matthews derided the mayor’s debate performance: “Pete pulled back on Friday. I don’t know what he thought he was riding, but he made a big mistake.”
Over on CNN, liberal analyst Van Jones haled the “phenomenon” of Sanders and somehow complained that people “aren’t talking about him.”
The big excitement is Am Klobuchar. “I think I can, I think I can.” You have somebody everybody has written off. “When is she putting cards on the table and walk away?” She's catching fire. That's the thing about politics. You never know when your moment is going to come. Her moment came Friday, you see her, she's up there. So that’s exciting. I don't think we should miss the obvious though.
Bernie Sanders is a phenomenon! He doesn’t get any attention. People don’t talk about him. We talk about it, he continues to rack up big numbers, big margins. He is doing stuff we don't talk about enough. He’s appealing to young people and people of color, increasingly, and women, and the beer track voters people talk about for Biden. They show up for Bernie Sanders. He has an army of unbelievable donors. If anybody else had that, “We would say this guy is our guy.” For whatever reason, we continue to talk about everybody but Bernie Sanders.
According to an analysis of January’s evening newscast coverage of the 2020 campaigns, the networks have given Sanders the most attention out of all the Democratic candidates.
