CHRIS MATTHEWS: Cynthia Tucker, I really want your thoughts and feelings on this. I don't understand how people can elect somebody like Ted Cruz. Here's a guy so far right, so unlimited in his notion of the second amendment, that anyone should be able to have any kind of gun. And anybody who says you can't have any kind of gun is somehow limiting their rights under his view of the constitution.

And then he challenges a grown-up, again, Dianne Feinstein, who I have enormous respect for, who watched her mayor die right in front of her, who has dealt with criminal matters her whole career.
