Hillary Clinton didn't realize her mic was live during a seemingly private conversation with Chris Matthews on Tuesday

Unknowingly Recorded, Hillary Clinton Speculates on Chris Christie's Trump Endorsement and Laments Campaign Staff's Youth

This is what a few unguarded moments with Hillary Clinton sounds like.

A private conversation between the Democratic presidential candidate and MSNBC host Chris Matthews was unknowingly recorded during Monday night’s town hall from Illinois, as neither party seemed to realize their microphones were still on.

The chat, as shared by The Washington Post, covers a range of topics, including GOP front-runner Donald Trump and the current state of the Republican party.

“You guys can’t stop covering him,” the former Secretary of State, 68, told Matthews of Trump. “He is a dangerous presence.”

She added, “It’s just like candy by the bushel.”

When Matthews brought up Chris Christie‘s surprising endorsement of Trump, Clinton questioned the New Jersey Governor’s motives.

“Did he have a debt or something?” Clinton asked, before the pair questioned Christie’s political future in his home state. “I don’t think he could win right now.”

The conversation quickly turned to fellow Republican race dropout and Trump backer Ben Carson, who Clinton called a “brilliant surgeon by all accounts.”

Matthews went on to compare the “soft-spoken” Carson to 1960s comedian Tom Smothers – a joke Clinton said her campaign staffers wouldn’t get because they “are so young.”

Unfortunately, the audio cut out just before Clinton answered Matthews’ most important question: if she caught the Downton Abbey series finale.
