Matthews Wants Clinton to Pick Kasich as VP

http://crooksandliars.com/2016/03/chris-matthews-suggests-hillary-clinton
snip:
This is what Chris Matthews sounds like after he's been huffing way too much of that Tip and the Gipper, bipartisan, magical fairy dust during MSNBC's Super Tuesday election coverage.

Apparently Matthews think the potential Democratic nominee for president of the United States needs to pick an anti-choice, anti-labor, trickle-down, gives tax cuts to the rich on the backs of the working class, former Lehman Brothers executive as a running mate in order to get elected.

Matthews fell in love with Rethugs watching Shrub strut his codpiece on that carrier. Nothing has changed.

Gotta say it would not surprise me one tiny little bit. Don't believe it would happen for one second, but it would not surprise me.

Kat$hit shouldn't be anywhere NEAR politics, let alone be the governor of one of the ten largest states in the union.

Matthews thinks we don't remember his beating the drums for Iraq invasion, etc.
Wrong.
We remember and take that into account when he editorializes on Dems or anything else.

Maybe he got to know him as a "good guy" during Tweety's work with Tip. Because he likes him personally, he refuses to see that K is as heinous as the others when it comes to women and public education.

It is loony to suggest that VP idea, but I bet he isn't thru hyping it.

In a lot of ways Kasich seems to be more in tune with Clinton (and the Third Way) politics-wise.

dealing with/investigating all the threats. Can you imagine the RW chatter if Kasich were next in line of succession?
