Chris Matthews Asks Independent Voters How They Can Be “Heartless” And Abandon Dems

Chris Matthews, that master of the understatement, was at it again on last night’s edition of Hardball. Here’s what he had to say when introducing a segment about independent voters in the midterm elections:

“How can people be so heartless? The American independent voters on a tear. A new political battleground state poll shows independent voters inclined to be even nastier to the Democrats next Tuesday. Whether Democrats can stop the surge among independents will determine whether they either cut their losses next Tuesday, or drown in a Republican tsunami.”

All of the above is as close to verbatim as possible—so if you, like me, think it kind of doesn’t make sense, blame Matthews. Watch the host hyperbolize in the clip below. (h/t The Blaze):
