Even with a pay to play scheme on "Hardball", his wife finished 3rd in her Democratic Primary race, which featured the biggest spending of any House race in this election cycle so far.

<The Matthews came under scrutiny last month when it was revealed Kathleen got some $80,000 from prominent political figures who have appeared on his show, Hardball.
The political-action committee for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) gave $10,000 to Kathleens campaign on June 20, 2015 two days before Gillibrand appeared on Hardball.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) contributed $1,000 on Jan. 11, 2016, one day before she was interviewed on the program.
Paul Pelosi, husband of House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), put $1,000 into Kathleens coffers.
Kathleen raked in more than $1.5?million.>

Also, there was a reason that race was the biggest spending in history, and it wasn't because of Matthews.
