In a “Let Me Finish” commentary that came from way out in left field, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews ended Thursday’s show with a plea for failed Texas Democratic senatorial candidate Beto O’Rouke to join the 2020 Democratic presidential field, citing his “magic” and comparing him to the late former President, George H. W. Bush.

After two teases with the first mentioning Beto, Matthews began the 39-second bit by stating that he had “a strong suggestion,” which was “that Beto O’Rourke should run for president” because, in part, he was able to “[get] a good look at Beto’s race for Senate when we hosted the Hardball College Tour at the University of Houston.”
