Appearing on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports on Wednesday, Hardball host Chris Matthews sounded the alarm over the left-wing being in disarray: "The Democratic Party is not unified right now. It's coming apart, you can see it, it's devolving. And so everybody – it's every man for himself, every politician for themselves right now."

Matthews made the comments in response to a question by fill-in host Peter Alexander asking about Hillary Clinton's position on the Obama administration's proposed trade deal. Matthews argued: "Intellectually I think she probably is for the trade deal. But the pressure on her from all the Democratic interest groups right now.... does she want to make enemies with organized labor? Probably no."
