In reply to the discussion: Chris Matthews delivers the damn smartest reply I have seen to the "Socialist" accusation [View all]PatrickforO
(14,557 posts)I just got tired of him asking people questions and then interrupting them over and over, not letting them talk. Chris kind of answers his own questions, you know?
That said, he has been around the DC more than a few times, and he's seen the noble and the ignoble.
I think Chris, probably like you and me, came from a time when there were noble thoughts and noble actions in Congress, before the corporate corruption got too bad, maybe. Oh, there have always been shambling mediocrities in Congress (and the WH, for that matter), but there were a critical mass of people on both sides of the aisle who actually did try and serve the interests of the people, at least most of the time.
Now, the GOP has become the corrupt party of Trump, beholden to oligarchs. They don't even pretend to be serving our interests.
