Early in Tuesday’s live coverage of the Nebraska and West Virginia primaries, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews perpetuated the notion that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton “is a safe, sort of centrist Democrat” just like Walter Mondale and “not much different from Obama” aside from a more “hawkish” foreign policy.
While it may appear to be quite a mouthful, Matthews squeezed this all in a matter of seconds reacting to a soundbite from a Republican woman who stated in an MSNBC focus group that she won’t vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton even though she could appear to some as “a safe choice.”
