We’ll give MSNBC host Chris Matthews a break and leave the “thrill up his leg” quote alone. However, it was clear at his town hall with Hillary Clinton in Springfield, Ill., tonight that Matthews only had eyes for her; otherwise, he might have noticed the “town” who had attended under the impression that they’d have the opportunity to join in the conversation.
Note that this #DemTownHall is ALL Matthews so far, 30 minutes in, no audience. Perfect message control. When does the town hall start?

Chris Matthews forgot about the "town hall" portion of this town hall. #DemTownHall

Matthews seems to have lost track of time, looking deep into Clinton’s eyes and reminiscing with her about the good old days of ’68.
Chris Matthews is flirting with Hillary Clinton right now. WTF is going on? #DemTownHall

49 minutes in and 2 questions from the audience so far. Weak! #demdebate #demtownhall #feelthebern

Chris Matthews might set a record for fewest questions from the audience in a Town Hall. #DemTownHall

If it seems we’re making the event seem a bit cozier than it was, take it from these people.
#DemTownHal I'm on pins and needles to find out if Matthews gets a second date with Hillary. I kept waiting for him to whisper in her ear.

#tytlive Chris Matthews interview of Hillary Clinton reminds me of dating when I was 13 yr old, just agreeing with everything my date says.

Remember how hostile Chris Matthews was with Bernie Sanders?
This pretty sums up his town hall with Hillary Clinton. pic.twitter.com/xqCnk78xj7— KISSman (@KISSman) March 15, 2016
Is Chris Matthews going to ask #Hillary for her Apple Brown Betty recipe that she made him & his wife for dinner last night? #Besties

#DemDebate Hillary needed such soft questions to survive a Town Hall, which she bombed especially on foreign policy, how can you lead?
— Matthew Clarke (@MatthewNClarke) March 15, 2016
I don't think this was particularly good for Hillary. People hate egregiously obvious softballs. #demdebate #feelthebern #tytlive
