.@SenatorReid, who urged @BarackObama to run for POTUS, and faithfully backed him when he got there: “This is something I don't throw around very often, but I love Barack Obama, I really do. Man to man, I love Barack Obama. No one else could do what he did.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Passing the ACA was personal for @SenatorReid: “I felt a tremendous pressure to get it done. Having been raised the way I was with no healthcare, my mother had no teeth, we didn’t go to doctors… healthcare was something we had to get done.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, @SenatorReid slammed James Comey: “I think @Comey elected Trump…He was afraid to take a stand for fear he would been seen as a partisan and he wound up hurting everybody.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In the day, @SenatorReid famously sparred with GW Bush. He recently wrote Bush a letter: “I said to him, ‘I was the leader, you were president and we knocked heads. But I look back with such nostalgia to those days. I lament the fact that you're not there now.’”#AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenatorReid and I talked about a painful reality we share: losing our dads to suicide, “Suicide was something that happens to other people…never do you expect it.” Let’s end the stigma about mental illness. Please reach out for help if you need it! 1-800-273-8255. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorReid grew up in Searchlight, NV, where the #1 industry was prostitution. “I’m the only senator in the history of the world that learned to swim in a whorehouse swimming pool.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@SenatorReid says it was wrong for @realdonaldtrump to go after @JoeBiden's family: “One of the things that Biden is admired for is his life story…. I think for someone to pick on his remaining son ...I just think they've gone too far.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles on @CNN, @SenatorReid says he’s “tremendously disappointed" in the Senate Republicans who almost certainly wouldn't vote to convict @realdonaldtrump: "these Rs are afraid to speak out against the things he does that are absolutely wrong & they know they’re wrong" https://t.co/1WDCypIadI — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In his life, @SenatorReid has overcome withering poverty; faced down the Mob in Vegas and, after a series of losses, risen to national leadership. Now battling cancer w/very same resolve, he reflects on his remarkable journey & our country. #AxeFiles TONIGHT at 7 ET on @CNN! https://t.co/UZoyD8qVsm — PolitiTweet.org

And not just poor Rudy but the two thugs he lunched with shortly before they were arrested at the airport while apparently trying to flee the country to avoid indictment for crimes in which Rudy may have been involved. It’s all so unfair! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As Dem leader in the senate, @Senatorreid recruited @ewarren and put her in leadership. Is she “too far left” to get elected president? On tonight’s #AxeFiles on @CNN, Reid says no. “Oh, I know she’s pragmatic. Just wait,” he told me with a smile. Join us at 7pm ET. On @CNN! https://t.co/mIPc6vnozF — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

You gotta love that @realDonaldTrump delivered his @joeBiden “was only a good vice president because he knew how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass” line at that rally the other day only after a fawning preliminary speech by Mike Pence! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And here @JohnKerry @UChiPolitics spoke about the crucial role the courts may play in this impeachment standoff. https://t.co/mArwetrXfl — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Former SecState @JohnKerry visited @UChiPolitics today and spoke, among other things, of @realDonaldTrump decision to pull U.S. back and allow Turkey to advance on Kurds. He called it “and incomprehensible, shocking betrayal.” Clip below: https://t.co/TdxcXKUTK1 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This China deal is not surprising for 2 reasons: 1) @realDonaldTrump could not go into 2020 with the trade war raging. 2) And he desperately needed to change the subject after an epically bad week. Be interesting to see what this deal actually yields. https://t.co/vfF26gbCji — PolitiTweet.org

RT @emilystanitz: Looking forward to welcoming Sec. @JohnKerry to @UChiPolitics this afternoon! We'll livestream his conversation with @dav… — PolitiTweet.org

“Anyone that thinks Trump's going to be beaten easily should have another think coming.” https://t.co/994oFnAhzu — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles airing Saturday on @CNN, former @SenatorReid warns Dems about @realDonaldTrump & 2020: “I used to think that Donald Trump was not too smart. I certainly don't believe that anymore. No matter what the subject, any argument he involves himself in, it's on his terms. https://t.co/y9seGhuAHV — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @SenatorReid spoke about @LindseyGrahamSC: “It's amazing what happened to him when John McCain died. He suddenly was no longer a John McCain Republican. He became a South-Carolina-want-to-get-reelected Republican and he is a total fetch guy for the President.” https://t.co/zwHHpdOLp8 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The puzzle pieces keep filling in. Career OMB staff questioned legal basis for holding up aid to Ukraine, and responsibility for dispensing it was summarily shifted to a political appointee. All while Trump muscled the Ukrainians for help on Biden. https://t.co/kkPKOnGx5S — PolitiTweet.org

One last postscript: I love baseball! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What a gutsy win in the belly of the beast! The Nats move on! The vaunted @Dodgers go home. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Bleary-eyed, I decided to stay up for the late innings, just to see if the @Nationals could mount a last stand at @Dodgers Stadium. Boy have they ever! Wow!! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Had a wonderful #AxeFiles sit down this week with an American original, @SenatorReid. Battling cancer, the former senate majority leader is still full of piss and vinegar and the accumlated wisdom of an extraordinary life! Join us Saturday at 7 p.m ET on @CNN! https://t.co/wwt7J6uwee — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Hold the phone! Yesterday’s comments are apparently inoperative. Now it’s Full Speed Ahead! What?!? https://t.co/gMT2kLcC3x — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@BernieSanders has long been a booming voice in Democratic politics so it was jarring to hear him talk about his recent heart attack. Perhaps it was the poignancy of somehow who has always spoken with utter certainty quietly confronting the inherent uncertainties of life. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“We all laughed when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. It’s not a joke. He is shooting holes in our Constitution, and we cannot allow him to get away with it.” -@JoeBiden today, in endorsing impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
