Halperin on Trump, Hillary: ‘Neither Rose to the Occasion of What We Need in the Next President’

‘We need to figure out how to have more moments, not just the three debates, but more moments like last night’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
HALPERIN: "I think you saw last night the limits of these two candidates. Each of them had their own kind of limits. I thought her stylistic performance. If I was involved in her debate preparation, I’d be terrified if she replicates that in the debates. Substance matters, intelligence, knowledge. These matter most of all. And his performance on those points, I think, should be a real caution for his people because I think not only more time, but more of the questions you’re talking about. One of these two will probably be president in January and, again, I think as a country and as a profession in the media, we need to figure out how to have more moments, not just the three debates, but more moments like last night."
