During an episode of his ‘2Way’ program this week, journalist Mark Halperin suggested that he is speechless over how Trump has been able to do so much already during his second term.
He compares Trump to a football player who suddenly finds himself with the ball and no one on the field who is able to tackle him as he runs for the end zone.
He goes so far as to suggest that Trump’s second term is going to make the Reagan Revolution look like a ‘joke’ compared to this and notes that the Democrats seem powerless to stop any of it.
From the Daily Caller/MSN:
Veteran journalist Mark Halperin said on his podcast Friday that he’s “baffled” at the seemingly ineffective efforts of President Donald Trump’s opponents to thwart his political agenda…
“I’m paid to not be baffled or speechless. That’s been my job. I’m baffled and somewhat speechless. I’ve been thinking in the last couple days. Is there anything in my career as a journalist that I’ve covered that I’d compare to this? And the answer is no,” Halperin said. “I’ve covered presidential campaigns, governments, Oklahoma City bombing, OJ Simpson trial. I’ve covered lots of big complex stories. I find this to be extraordinary and singular.”…
“And the theater of it and the personality and the historical narrative arc are all of course super compelling but what matters is the real lives of real people and the impact this is going to have on not just American government and the world, but American history,” Halperin said. “And I think on that score, based on the early returns here after a couple weeks, this turns the Reagan Revolution [into] a joke. It makes the notion that George W. Bush came into Washington [to] really shake things up. There’s no comparison, what they’re doing.”

There is a lot of truth to what Halperin is saying here. You can see it in the behavior of the Democrats every day. They are completely lost and have no idea how to counter any of the work Trump is doing. They’re simply screaming into the wind.
