Memo to the Ratings King: TV ratings for RNC were WAY down, by almost a third from four years ago-and millions of viewers below the DNC. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump may want to muzzle Dr. Fauci. But given how Trump has politicized everything surrounding the government’s handling of COVID-19, he is going to need Fauci, as a trusted expert, to vouch for the safety and reliability of any vaccine the president announces. — PolitiTweet.org

More from my Best of The Axe Files conversation with Khizr Kahn, the inspiring Gold Star dad and Pakistani-American immigrant. Here he speaks about his faith that, despite our challenges, America will find its way. https://t.co/lgO0sGtywo https://t.co/xdVUvTEn5Z — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump would like to divert focus from COVID, economy to “law and order.” But Trump’s obvious intent and overheated provocations have give @JoeBiden a chance to turn Trump’s gambit against him as he is with this very tough and effective speech in Pittsburgh. — PolitiTweet.org

Sharing a Best of #AxeFiles ‘18 conversation w/Khizr Kahn, the Gold Star father whose stirring testimony at the ‘16 DNC made him a national figure. Below he speaks about witnessing ‘17 march by white supremacists/neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. Full pod: https://t.co/lgO0sGtywo https://t.co/4CpewJTcUb — PolitiTweet.org

Kept him. Typo. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This may explain why @realDonaldTrump’s team keep him tethered to a script last week. Because, left to his own devices (literally), watch out! — PolitiTweet.org

This headline says everything you need to know. https://t.co/awqH7eA2mD — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is the risk for @realDonaldTrump. By fanning the flames for his own political profit, he opens himself up to just the righteous counterattack @JoeBiden launches here and almost certainly will continue. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump is traveling Tuesday to Kenosha to “survey the damage” from rioting after the egregious police shooting of Jacob Blake Jr. He’ll use that grieving city as a backdrop for his campaign of fear. In Trump’s perverse political calculus, division equals addition. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ pumping up his “law-and-order” rhetoric, I was reminded of my 2017 #AxeFiles conversation with @KamalaHarris, shortly after then-AG Sessions indicated that the DOJ was going to back off civil rights probes of police depts. Listen to her answer. https://t.co/HgYYARYB5N — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In case you missed the message at RNC, this headline from event last night tells you everything about where ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ is going to take this campaign: Trump escalates rhetoric on unrest in cities, looking for a campaign advantage. https://t.co/LpfPEqg9gr — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, @WhipClyburn-a hero of @JoeBiden’s primary climb to the nomination, spoke to me about the meaning of Biden’s choice of @KamalaHarris for Vice President. Full pod here👉https://t.co/dy0RMOkI8Z https://t.co/OwjPppovTL — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I’m sure Team @realDonaldTrump was thrilled with footage of protesters hassling @RandPaul as he left the WH political extravaganza last night. They’re counting on such scenes to power their “law and order” meme. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If history is a guide, @realDonaldTrump’s speech was the most watched hour of the RNC, which is too bad for him, because it was one its weakest. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Herman Cain was not remembered during the RNC nor at its mask-less, Super Spreader finale on the WH lawn. Maybe it was because Cain likely contracted the COVID-19 that killed him at a mask-less, Super Spreader, Trump event in Tulsa in June. #Incovenient https://t.co/vzKa6gsECa — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Herman Cain was not only remembered last night, at mask-less, super spreader political event at the WH. The way in which he contracted the COVID-19 virus that killed him was not remembered. Which, come to think of it, may be why Mr. Cain wasn’t remembered! #Incovenient https://t.co/4RdGq8ZiTe — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Post convention @HacksOnTap is up! @Robt_Gibbs, @amandacarpenter and @Murphymike waited and waited and waited for @realDonaldTrump to finish up, and then sat down to talk RNC. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I understand that @realDonaldTrump’s team wanted to make sure he didn’t create needless controversy. But man, he’s just not very good off a prompter. Kind of took the air right out of the balloon they had been blowing up all week. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Highlight of the night was watching @CNN’s fact checker @ddale8 rip through his analysis of @realDonaldTrump’s speech. I thought the poor guy was going to collapse at the end of a very long lost of whoppers! — PolitiTweet.org

This pre-existing pledge may be the most cynical line in the whole speech. He’s in court right now trying to END protections for people with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

They’ve had a good convention for their purposes but this is a pretty mediocre speech, poorly delivered. — PolitiTweet.org
