Accused sexual harasser Mark Halperin is trying to make a comeback into the punditry game and if this tweet is any indication, he still has that magic touch.
You see, according to the once highly-paid Halperin, everything President Trump has said of late will “either re-elect him or cost him a second term.” That’s a brilliant analysis!
My take: Donald Trump talks a lot and creates a lot of news. He likes the spotlight and overloads the circuits. All this will either re-elect him or cost him a second term. Stay tuned.https://t.co/Z7heSTxSaC

If Halperin was watching a football game, he’s the kind of guy who says, “It’s either going to be a run or a pass on this first down play”:

Sure, keep digging:
Actually, some smart people (you know) think the economic views & conditions of voters will decide the election. Which might also be true. Making predictions before there is enough data to have a high degree of confidence in the outcome isn't a good idea. https://t.co/yhapZ3bBlQ
