Most of what he writes reeks of Republican-tilted BS with just enough contrived "wittiness" to make the reader thinks he's keeping an open mind and trying to be an objective observer. He is not objective. Objectionable is more like it.

He doesn't want Hillary. He would LOVE chaos. On our side, anyway. He's George Will light.

Mark Halperin doesn't write "terrific pieces" unless you lean way to the right. No better giveaway than that.
