Coming off a two-hour Hardball on Wednesday, MSNBC brought suffering viewers back to just one hour on Thursday, but host Chris Matthews made sure they got their money’s worth by presenting his closing Let Me Finish segment as “a Shakespearean choice facing Republicans this year” in “[t]o be a Republican or not to be” with presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Matthews teased viewers of this line going to the first commercial break when he provided a rundown of the show: “And finally, Let Me Finish with a Shakespearean choice facing Republicans this year. To be or not to be, a Republican, that is.”
