Political journalist Mark Halperin said he tried to tell liberals and those who strongly oppose President-elect Donald Trump that Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris would lose the election.
Halperin made the comments during an appearance on the show. brian kilmeade show fox news reported Sunday.
“I sincerely appealed to everyone I know who is a Never Trumper, someone with Trump Derangement Syndrome, or someone who is extremely opposed to Donald Trump,” Halperin said in a statement.
I said he would get 50 votes for 47% of the vote. But the difference between 47 and 50 is, you know, millions of Americans. We have to respect the fact that tens of millions of people will vote for him. And we have to prepare for it. Some people listened to me, but most people didn't. There's something about Donald Trump that appeals to them.
Now he is bringing a lot of things into his own hands through his actions, his rhetoric, his behavior. But it goes beyond that. And of course, it's especially exacerbated by what I call the dominant media, which creates this fantasy world that Joe Biden doesn't have an acuity problem. Kamala Harris should be nominated without question. Open borders are not an issue that people really care about. All of this, the prosecution of Donald Trump, the attempts to keep him from voting. Attempt to keep Bobby Kennedy from voting. All of this stems from the president and vice president's failure to express their anger at the unlawful killing of American citizens by people within their own country. When all this adds up, they have an invisible blue bubble.
The reporter added that when he asks Trump supporters why the left hates Trump, they simply explain why. But when Halperin asked leftists why people like Trump, he said, “They're numb.” they can't answer that question. ”
