Mark Halperin Declares ‘Tired’ Trump Lost Momentum, Calls Rally In Pennsylvania ‘One of the Worst Events I’ve Ever Seen Him Hold’
Mark Halperin said Monday that a “tired” former President Donald Trump had lost his momentum during a Sunday Pennsylvania rally he called among the “worst” Trump events he had seen.
On 2WAY TV’s The Morning Meeting, Halperin said he felt Trump’s campaign was in serious trouble during a discussion with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine.
The veteran reporter and commentator discussed Trump’s Lancaster rally where the former president commented anyone who wanted to shoot him would have had to shoot through the media – and that he wouldn’t necessarily mind that.
Halperin categorized Trump’s speech as “meandering” well beyond Trump’s self-described “weave” in regard to going off-topic. Halperin commented:
The first thing I want to talk about guys is the info wars – okay, the info flow, rather. One of the most experienced presidential political operatives in modern American history said to me in the last week of the campaign, you want to win the information flow. And I would say – I’m not predicting Donald Trump will lose, I’m not cheering for Donald Trump to lose – but I would say from Madison Square Garden until yesterday, he has lost the info flow.
Both because the Harris campaign is having optimistic, loud, vibrant events. The press is on their side, and that helps. But Donald Trump’s yesterday – in Lancaster that I went to – was one of the worst events I’ve ever seen him hold. He was tired, hoarse. He talked about election denialism. He made a joke about the press being shot. He barely talked about the issues that – where he’s ahead. This was not the weave. This was the wander.
Halperin said Trump corrected and did “better” at events in Pennsylvania throughout the rest of the day.
But commented, “But I would say he spent, he and his team have spent the week insulting Hispanics, Blacks, women and being pessimistic and dark and calling Kamala Harris a moron.”
He then asked Spicer if he agreed Trump had hurt his campaign with the comments he made during the Lancaster rally.
Spicer disagreed Trump’s rally demeanor would make any difference for undecided voters.
Halperin concluded of the event:
It was it was dark, conspiratorial, negative, meandering. It was it was just, it was everything that Republicans said for three years. This guy can’t win. It was horrible. So, and I think that the Harris events have been great. They have been high energy and enthusiastic and she’s not specific, but she’s staying out of the way.
