On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin joked that “Russian troops on the Iowa-Wisconsin border” “kept Hillary Clinton from going in.”

Halperin said, “[T]here were Russian troops on the Iowa-Wisconsin border that kept Hillary Clinton from going in. So, that was one thing.”

He continued by criticizing the New York Times for the fact that their lead editorial isn’t about a new agenda to revitalize the Democratic Party, it’s one about ending the Electoral College.
