On a special post-debate edition of Hardball, having noted that tonight's GOP was thoroughly substantive and devoid of cheap shots and insult comedy, MSNBC's Chris Matthews whined to guest Robert Costa of the Washington Post that Ted Cruz's voice was "very hard to listen to" and that the Texas Republican "whines all the time."
"Dude, do you ever listen to yourself talk?!" you might be asking. Exactly!

CHRIS MATTHEWS to Washington Post’s ROBERT COSTA: Robert Costa, you've been exposed to this more than I can [sic] so I sympathize with you.
I find Cruz very hard to listen to. He's relentless and he whines. He’s got this same angry edge to his voice all the time. It’s always to the hard right. It’s always the cheap shot at President Obama, always, always, always playing to the Tea Party. There's no, there’s no lift in it. There's no hope in it.
It's just this grinding negativity toward anyone he's competing with.
Please tell me what I'm missing.
