Chris Matthews said he will get Hillary Clinton elected in 2016
"If you're watching, Madam Secretary, all three of us have brilliant ideas. All of us have great ideas. And I especially put myself in that group with Joan and David. We know how to do this, we’ll get you in there."

But lets not forget what he said about Hillary in 2008

On January 9, 2008, the morning after Hillary Clinton's surprise victory in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary, Matthews appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe program and said of Hillary Clinton,

"I'll be brutal, the reason she's a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around. That's how she got to be senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn't win there on her merit.

Unfortunately I think she will be the front runner for 2016 and effectually take the election.

People are that gullible these days and I just shake my head. She will run on social scare tactics and the mindless drones will nod their heads.

It's a shame she wasn't the candidate in 08. I don't like her, but I don't think she would have been as devisive as what we now have.

I don't think Hilary needs Chris Matthews to win.

Yes we saw an example of scare tactics being used during the 2012 elections. It worked for Obama so of course they will use scare tactics again and name calling.

In an issue of the American Journal of Political Science, politicians are very likely to try to use fear so as to make people agree with decisions they would otherwise regret. The American population is constantly bullied through fear mongering.

If a person or an organization objects, they are immediately labeled as “un-American, unpatriotic, racist. It is manipulation. Elite manipulation of citizen emotions contributed to public support for bad government policies they would otherwise not support.

I would love to see candidates that run solely on fiscal issues. After all, at the national level, that's what it really is about, how our tax dollars are to be spent. Social issues are handled by the states and as they should be.

I wonder how many candidates could actually run only on fiscal issues.

Yeah they're gonna try to get two birds with one stone.

Black Man President followed by a Female President. Who knows. Maybe they'll take it a step further and elect a transexual, practicing sikh who's fluent in spanish lol.

If her health holds up, she would have an excellent chance. She's looked tired in every picture I've seen over the last few years.
