Matthews: ‘No One Thought It Was Going To Be this Close at this Point’

MATTHEWS: “You know, I’m watching this and I’m thinking it’s almost 9 o’clock eastern and who would have thought — I mean, I’m talking about the people you listen to, you talk to, you get in touch with in your world.”
WILLIAMS: “Yeah.”
MATTHEWS: “No one thought it was going to be this close at this point. Trump can still win this thing at 9 o’clock tonight basically. We don’t know. If he wins Florida, I always thought Florida was the first stepping stone to North Carolina and that’s the stepping stone to either Michigan. We all looked at it the same way. But if he gets on the ladder in Florida, then — then we have to all look at North Carolina and then figure that’s going to be possible. But he is step by step still in this race tonight, which I wasn’t sure of a couple of days ago, because I think when — when the Comey thing died down over the weekend, I thought he had lost his big booster rocket which was the FBI report of 10 to 11 days ago."
