Chris Matthews: It’s Not Partisan to Say Republicans Have No Alternatives

‘This isn’t a partisan observation’

"And behind the problems of implementation, which are real and huge, is the real philosophical difference. You'll notice that this isn't a partisan observation, that the Republicans have not felt a need to offer an alternative. And despite the tyranny public support for the president, there looms that other part of the polling we've had at NBC, which shows three-quarters of the country doesn't think Republicans are any good on health care. So it's not like they're winning by winning. They’re winning by the other side losing. And we're still left not just with, as I said, it's not just a difference of how well they've done -- we agree they've done poorly. It's a difference of government responsibility.”
