Chris Matthews: Get 'excited' about Clinton campaign, or 'don't vote'

  MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has a striking message for disaffected Democrats: Get “excited” about Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the possibility of the party controlling Washington, or “don’t vote.”

The “Hardball” host offered the advice on air Tuesday night, while griping about some Democrats’ pessimistic attitude toward the election. 

“Here’s my question. Why don’t they get excited on the left, and the center-left, about maybe … getting to run the government for four, or eight years, winning the House and the Senate, winning the White House? … Think about winning big,” Matthews said.

He continued: “Hillary Clinton’s got a very good chance right now of winning very big and running the table and actually getting to set U.S. policy on a progressive side of things. Get excited about that. If that’s not [enough] to get you to vote, don’t vote.”

That’s a turnaround from remarks Matthews made in 2012 that anyone not planning to vote was an “idiot.”

“If you don’t vote, you’re an idiot,” Matthews said at the time, to chuckles from his co-hosts.

No mask at all of being journalistic.  What a trashy person.  Must be vying for Hillary's Press Secretary.

I wish he wasn't correct, but he is.  Clinton has a very good chance of winning in a blow out of epic proportions this fall.

In fairness Hannity has never been a "journalist."  As I recall he's some kind of construction worker...  :smokin:

Matthews is right, though -  Trump's supporters have handed the Dems a gift of historic proportions.   Trump's supporters have created the conditions for the Dems to control the Presidency, the Congress and the courts.   Dems would be crazy not to jump into this fall's elections with unbridled enthusiasm.
