He simply does not observe norms, rules, institutions—or laws. He actually believes he is ABOVE the law and is invested with unlimited power. https://t.co/JTacv6VexX — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is 100 percent right. The question for 2020 is not going to be “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” It will be, “Can we really do another four years of THIS?” https://t.co/xUBApC8ong — PolitiTweet.org

Just dropped in on the broadcast of the @Cardinals and @Brewers in Milwaukee and they were in a RAIN DELAY. In a DOMED stadium?!? — PolitiTweet.org

This is why @realDonaldTrump will eventually fold his way to “victory” in the China trade war. https://t.co/OvhWTRjKDU — PolitiTweet.org

This judgment in OK against Johnson & Johnson for its role in propagating the opioid crisis is a landmark ruling and a black mark on the company. But the penalty seems like a relative pittance, dwarfed by J&J revenues. https://t.co/La2yYzeotP — PolitiTweet.org

I heard someone from the Monmouth Poll today explain how to square their new numbers, which show @JoeBiden plunging into a 3-way tie w/@BernieSanders and @ewarren and a recent @CNN poll that shows Biden surginf to a solid lead. “Well,” he said, “both polls show volatility.” Huh?! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“President Obama was outsmarted” when Russia seized Crimea, and Russia was expelled from the G8 because Obama was embarrassed. So says @realDonaldTrump. I wonder what the “Stable Genius” would have done? — PolitiTweet.org

If @realDonaldTrump hosts the G7 at his Florida resort next year, and invites Russia to join, Putin could personally check in and see how his efforts to tip that battleground state are coming! #efficient — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe THIS is his climate change plan?! — PolitiTweet.org

A year before we vote, our Canadian neighbors wlll. Interesting kickoff ad from Liberal PM @JustinTrudeau, drawing very sharp forward/back lines with the Conservative opposition around middle class economics. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@neeratanden @ThePlumLineGS But still, they have economic pressures of their own. And if they can get a favorable deal, with more cosmetic than core concessions, why wouldn’t they go for it? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@ThePlumLineGS Whatever he gets, he will sell as big progress, right-wing media will amplify and his supporters will embrace. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I’ve said it before: @realDonaldTrump eventually will cut any deal he can with China and call it a victory. He has to. He can’t tank the economy headed into an election. And the Chinese know it. https://t.co/f9yVx3Rqex — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He wouldn’t make these decisions based on his own business interests, would he? 🤔 https://t.co/6TM3XnpuDd — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

From the G-7, from which Russia has been expelled. “On Sunday, Mr. Trump said the United States, as the host of next year’s meeting, might invite Russia to participate.” I wonder how the @realDonaldTrump campaign team feels about his hosting Putin weeks before the 2020 election? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If you missed the #AxeFiles in Iowa on @CNN tonight, or went to hear more, the podcast is up now, including an extended conversation with the voters who will have a lot to say about who will advance and who won’t in the Dem presidential race. Link here:👇 https://t.co/i3le2goYbP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

At the end of the day, @GovernorBullock summed up what I love about the caucuses “It’s Iowa or bust.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We hear a lot about electability these days. @DavidYepsen, an institution in Iowa politics & the lead political writer for the @DMRegister for 30+ years, said: “in this environment, electability is very important to these Democrats, more so than I remember being in the past.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked @PeteButtigieg about the debate between electability & big structural change. He said: “I believe as much as anybody that we do need big and bold and transformative change. I also think that how bold you are is not always the exact same thing as how left you are.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Thank you, Governor! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I spent an hour with a group of Iowa Dems. They’re nowhere near making their final choices but it was striking how little @JoeBiden came up. “We need someone to get Trump out of office, but that’s not enough. We need someone who’s inspiring...” one voter said. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Iowans take their role seriously, not just b/c they vote FIRST but b/c of HOW they vote! “A caucus is a public thing. You stand up in front of your friends and your neighbors, declare who you’re for… it’s a big commitment" - Paul Tewes, who ran Iowa for @BarackObama. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A longtime hardliner on China trade himself, @BernieSanders told me he sees a restiveness about the trade war among farmers in IA: "The farmers here in the Midwest export a lot of products to China & elsewhere & they are very concerned about Trump's trade policies.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Like many Americans, Iowans want to hear about issues that impact their lives, not what’s driving the news. @GovernorBullock: “In probably 30 different stops no one asked me about impeachment. None. But what they do talk about is, am I going to lose my rural hospital?” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org
