It is a measure of our times that this is not even near the top of the news: The @POTUS was ordered by a judge to pay $2 million for diverting funds from his charitable foundation, for which he raised donations from others, for his personal use. https://t.co/MrALyHjMxT — PolitiTweet.org

Important footnote: Much of Biden’s strength is among African-Americans and non-college whites. Not immediately clear that any of this vote rushes to Bloomberg. The mayor is a formidable person, well-known with infinite resources. But his path here is not obvious. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is a thunderclap. And not exactly a vote of confidence from leading moderate in durability of @JoeBiden campaign. https://t.co/Q86FpAENrt — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, airing 7pm Et Sat on @CNN, Cindy McCain laments absence of defiant voices in Senate Rs: “John provided a lot of cover for other members. And when he would do it, then they could get behind him. And I’m not seeing a real rudder in the Senate right now in all this.” https://t.co/al0nKaVT3t — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So much of this is reminiscent of the McCarthy era of smears and fear, in which @realDonaldTrump mentor Roy Cohn played a central role. That began to unravel with outrageous character assassination against members of the Army, much as we see here. https://t.co/iGOGuQk1WL — PolitiTweet.org

Sounds like this impeachment trial may run like traffic court. You’re in. You get admonished to drive more carefully and bing, bam boom...you’re on your way! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

At least he hasn’t deleted this Tweet yet. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“What would Senator John McCain be saying right now?” I asked Cindy McCain that question during our #AxeFiles conversation that will air at 7 p.m. ET Saturday on @CNN. Join us. You’ll want to hear her answer! https://t.co/YcCEvVt6zB — PolitiTweet.org

Latest @HacksOnTap is live! Dems knives out at the Iowa dinner and what it means. Rs retreat to a new strategy to deal with impeachment. We also answer your emails: https://t.co/DUF52RHHqQ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But with Sondland’s damning revised testimony adding bricks to the load, it’s apparent why an increasing number of Rs, unable to defend @realDonaldTrump, are talking Plan B: “Ok, he did it. So let the people decide!” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The question is no longer whether @realDonaldTrump used critical military $$ to leverage Ukraine re muddying up @JoeBiden. Seems clear he did. It was improper & possibly illegal. But are we so polarized & numbed to his antics that there will be no penalty? https://t.co/Z5B3Ng3cTq — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Such a night. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As an @NBA star, @officialMutumbo was a fearsome defender. But as an unusually tall, frail boy growing up in Zaire, he was the target of painful bullying. Check out our #AxeFiles conversation. Fascinating, captivating person. Hear his story. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here is my #AxeFiles conversation with @officialmutombo-world class athlete and humanitarian, with a remarkable personal story you simply couldn’t make up! https://t.co/xQIHuXQGeu https://t.co/1xz8CSK0R6 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He did walk it back pretty quickly so he obviously understood how it might be read, too. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Guys, I didn’t disagree with Pete’s analysis. I simply was suggesting it’s better to leave the analysis to the analysts than designate YOURSELF a co-frontrunner. He did it in a clinical way but it’ll be read as arrogant & presumptuous by the other candidates & their supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

No defense can hold forever when the offense blows and leaves the D on the field for much of the game. @ChicagoBears defense has been pretty stout. But it must be demoralizing when you know that every time you hold the other guys you’re going to be right back 4 downs later! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Second half did little to change my opinion. #Painful — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Should have tagged this with @NBA; @ATLHawks; @nuggets; @HoustonRockets; @nyknicks and @BrooklynNets, who where a lot of fingers were wagged over his long illustrious career! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In latest #AxeFiles, up Monday, I speak w/@officialmutombo about everything from his upbringing under dictatorship in Zaire to his heroic work today to lift his homeland & broken places around the world. But, of course, I couldn’t resist asking him about his signature finger wag! https://t.co/5OXQwjgdOs — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So eager to capitalize on tragedy, the @POTUS barks up the wrong tree. https://t.co/V39DVoUmfU — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Watching Trubisky right now for the @ChicagoBears is truly depressing. He’s utterly lost. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Honest but unnecessary. All part of learning the rules of a game in which candor can sound like hubris. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is the exchange in which the candidate follows the wily @jheil down the primrose path to punditland. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@mmckinnon @SHO_TheCircus @jmpalmieri Throwing you hat into the ring? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I had a terrific #AxeFiles conversation last week with @officialmutombo, Hall of Fame hooper and world-class humanitarian. We talked about his amazing journey from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the @NBA, and his passionate commitment to his homeland. Up Monday! https://t.co/ugrQeWCJdl — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The campaign strategist’s nightmare: When the candidate goes all pundit in an interview. Unhelpful. https://t.co/ogenNQv02w — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is where it’s going in the senate: 1) He did use U.S. miiltary aid as leverage to compel Ukraine to go after Biden but it’s not impeachable. 2) Let the people decide in November. https://t.co/SxwDHC2rdO — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He made it up. Again. https://t.co/mQLNYEHJcL — PolitiTweet.org
