Mark Halperin

He's unappealing.

He's not a very good manager of, you know, not very disciplined.

And yet he's won consistently.

And he's coming in the second term and he's gone after law firms and universities and corporations in a way that is representative of how weak they are.

And so harder now because he's come in more experienced, but I just look at the period from 2015 to 2023, say, and just say, who could have stood higher, not just to make a point, but to actually check him?

I mean, so for instance, in 2020, I said, well, Trump's gonna run again and he's got a good chance to win.

And a lot of people said, oh no, he's done.

And then he starts to get indicted.

And they said, well, now he's indicted, of course he's done, rather than what I said, well, this will make him stronger for the nomination of the general.

So again, who missed the moment?

The ACLU, university presidents, who missed them?

George Soros and nonprofits, who missed the moment to check him?

I wish there was a way to qualitatively measure not just the talent but the will because I know Bill Clinton had it too.

And you think, well, the two George Bushes and Barack Obama and Joe Biden, they must have had a lot of will too because they got elected president.

But I don't even think those four guys are close to Clinton and Trump.

So they couldn't couldn't agree more.

And of course, not a surprise, because Joe Biden, his entire career was just whatever the Democratic Party was at the time.

He had no he had no desire or ability.

It's one of the most undercovered stories of our careers.

And unless one or both of us take a break and write a book about it, I'm not sure it'll ever be told sufficiently, which is how did the Democratic Party let the guy win again?
