EXCERPT:
BERNSTEIN: “And I think we need to look at one thing immediately. We are now in the midst of a national security crisis, it is different than any one in our history in this country. We have to be concerned about adversaries, particularly Russia, taking advantage of this situation for its own purposes. We have to think about possible cyber-manipulation of the markets. You’ve talked about the markets, obviously this is going to have a huge effect on them. The future of this election campaign, it depends on the President’s health. We don’t know what his health is going to be. It’s going to totally upend the end of the election campaign. So every aspect of our national life in terms of stability is now affected in ways that we could never envisioned a day ago. And I think we need to start from that perspective the political equation, and of course, what you are talking about is there as well, because his conduct in the handling of this virus is now even more front and center of the election campaign than it ever has been.”
