I thought for a while, Barack Obama, although he wanted comprehensive reform had less a good chance of getting it than Donald Trump because of the Nixon goes to China factor here, where Trump can secure the border and get people on board, I think he could see comprehensive reform. Not this year, but maybe next year.
Mark HalperinWhat happens when you let go, when your strength leaves you and you sink into darkness, when there's nothing that you or anyone else can do, no matter how desperate you are, no matter how you try? Perhaps it's then, when you have neither pride nor power, that you are saved, brought to an unimaginably great reward.
Mark HalperinI think that the media is as divided on this issue [of gay marriage] as the Obama family โ which is to say not at all. And so heโs never going to get negative coverage for this....When you have almost the entire media establishment on your side on an issue in a presidential campaign, itโs very hard to lose politically.
