The most disturbing thing about this whole Ukraine discussion is the alacrity with which the president’s supporters have adjusted their values to suit the moment, justifying a brazen, stealthy act of extortion of a critical ally. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Wow! If the Ethics Committee sanctions Nunes for failing to disclose his own conversations with key players in the Ukraine caper, they should sentence him to attend review classes on the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

If you don’t think this woman is getting ready to run for president post-Trump, you haven’t been paying attention. Here she appears to be cleaning up her accounts with the base after standing up admirably on the Confederate flag issue after the Charleston massacre. — PolitiTweet.org

Not to mess up your theory. Just in the interest of accuracy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

You didn’t ask, @JRubinblogger, but I am out of the campaign world and not “backing” any candidate in the race. @DevalPatrick is a friend and former client I admire. But I am friendly with almost all of the candidates and have worked with many of them. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A Saudi military officer commits a terrorist act on a U.S. military base in apparent conjunction with others and the @POTUS meekly reads a letter of apology from the Saudi king? What’s up with THAT? https://t.co/nz9StvgdGN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I agree that @JoeBiden is on the upswing after being counted out. He has a base. And the fire he showed in Iowa yesterday probably cheered many of his supporters—and scared others who thought he came way too close to crashing into the wall. This will be how he rolls throughout. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg is going to have to find a way out of his NDA w/McKinsey and fully disclose the work he did there. The good news for him is that anyone cares! Heightened scrutiny when you’re running for POTUS is a sure sign of process. No one’s dogging @TomSteyer to disclose! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Right back at you! I feel a huge debt of gratitude to the special ed teachers who took such interest in my child. So thank YOU! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I had an exchange with @AndrewYang during our #AxeFiles conversation yesterday @UChiPolitics about our shared experience as fathers of special needs children. It led to a discussion of how we, as a society, value human worth. Full pod here: https://t.co/HV9KB5ERBq https://t.co/wrF8JuX8vW — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Agreed. But in this polarized country, the same ad will probably reaffirm the ardent commitment of @realDonaldTrump supporters, who read the contempt he engenders from foreign leaders as emblem of Trump’s America First authenticity. — PolitiTweet.org

Just had a great #AxeFiles conversation with @AndrewYang in front of a roaring crowd at @UChiPolitics. We’ll post it later today. https://t.co/FHvndbIT0P — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I suspect the very same Rs who are complaining that the House is RUSHING impeachment would be accusing the House of intentionally PROLONGING it into an election year if they waited for the courts to litigate the WH’s refusal to cooperate with the probe. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @chelywright: I think I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears repeating— @SpeakerPelosi on @davidaxelrod’s podcast (Oct 2015) explains… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Impeachment will eclipse all for the next seven weeks. And then it will recede, and other events will supersede it as the election year moves on. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And by acting quickly, they also will be ensuring that this process will end early in the election year. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

By impeaching, the House will have laid a marker that extorting political favors from foreign leaders to try to tip OUR election is a gross abuse of power, thus fulfilling its mandate. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But even if impeachment is a constitutional must, it’s not a political plus for Democrats. So best not to allow the WH to play the stalling game and prolong the process. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

There is enough evidence right now based on Trump call transcript and testimony already in hand to impeach @realDonaldTrump for the egregious Ukrainian caper, and the House would be derelict in its duties if it does not. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here’s what @NancyPelosi knows: The WH would stall was long as possible in the courts any effort to get principals to testify or documents disgorged. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

For those who want to skip ahead: The House will impeach @POTUS by the end of the year because what he did warrants it. The Senate will hold a trial in January but not convict, regardless of evidence, because he has absolute control of his party. And then we will move on. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Gary Cohn and the establishment aides around @realDonaldTrump thought they could sway him. They were wrong. And for Trump’s base, that’s a badge of honor. https://t.co/wGCgF3YaPI — PolitiTweet.org
