Two clips for this one, the first the set-up and the second the proof of what happens when a man is pushed to his limit. Anyone believe Matthews’s defense here?

Sure, they’d love a knock-down, drag-out fight at the convention, just not enough to detonate the dearly held prospect of a Democratic president. Consider it a microcosmic refutation of Obama’s own “what’s the matter with Kansas?” assumptions about political priorities: It’s not always economics that come first.
