Mar 15th 2016
Hillary Clinton and MSNBC's Chris Matthews were in the middle of taping a town hall in Springfield, Illinois, when it happened: the crew cut for commercial, but Clinton and Matthews' microphones remained live, broadcasting their behind-the-scenes conversation for reporters in a separate screening room to hear. Ruby Cramer of BuzzFeed News recorded the exchange, which began with Clinton talking about Donald Trump. "Man, you guys cannot talk stop talking about him," she said to Matthews. "He is a dangerous presence and, you know, it's just like candy by the bushel." Matthews replied: "We dip into him, dip out of him. We have a progressive audience, obviously. But nobody can tell what people want to watch."
"Yeah," Clinton said, adding that people "want to watch him." "To laugh at him," Matthews replied.

Most sane people are sick and tired of Trump.

(3,660 posts)Like all those other "hot mic" snafu's weren't scripted. I'd guess <10% are real.

But seriously, if you believe every "hot mic" story is real, it explains a lot.

(3,660 posts)a Hillary supporter said "not everything in politics is a conspiracy." That's pure gold that is. WOW. I'm tempted to frame that one.

Mark my words: This "snafu" is about as "real" as a reality show or one of those "flash mobs" that turns out to be a commercial for a bank.
