MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was in rare from on Thursday night as he both factually tried to link the 1964 and 2016 presidential elections and appeared astonished that there could be an “intervention” (as has been reported for Donald Trump) for something other than “a dope problem or a booze problem.”

Taking the latter and more head-scratching moment first, Matthews turned to former RNC chair/MSNBC political analyst Michael Steele and USA Today’s Paul Singer to not discuss the substance of the reported intervention by Trump allies to the billionaire candidate to become a more focused candidate but of his personal experiences with when interventions usually happen.
