When you carelessly use the language of war for your own political profit, those who are inclined pick up on those cues do. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When the @POTUS uses his platform to preach the incendiary language of “invasion” and crisis, suggesting that immigrants represent an existential threat, is it any wonder that unstable white supremacists take up arms? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

WH COS @MickMulvaneyOMB is righteously indignant that fingers are pointing in the wake of Saturday’s shooting at @realDonaldTrump for his incendiary rhetoric that cheers white supremacists. So don’t expect any let up in the incendiary rhetoric that cheers white supremacists! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Predictably, you have pols out there arguing that gun laws are useless because criminals ignore them. Isn’t that an argument against ANY law? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Your prayers would be more meaningful, Mr. President, if you hadn’t so gleefully and cravenly fanned the flames of hatred. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Perhaps the prayers should be for YOU! — PolitiTweet.org

Somehow this line hit me like a ton of bricks. “He said the store was ‘at capacity’ as many customers were there to buy back-to-school supplies.” Parents and kids, buying school supplies! Excited for the new school year. https://t.co/dhTdEgDkHo — PolitiTweet.org

Opinion: Elizabeth Warren is running a brilliant campaign https://t.co/WTS7a5gvmi — PolitiTweet.org

Translation: He didn’t have the votes. — PolitiTweet.org

.@HurdOnTheHill won re-election in this 70 percent Hispanic district by 900 votes. This should be a Dem pickup in ‘20. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I sat down with @HurdOnTheHill last Friday for the #axefiles, and you could sense the pressures he faced as only black member of the House @GOP AND border state rep in the era of @realDonaldTrump. He announced today he won’t run in ‘20. Here’s convo👇 https://t.co/e2mSjJDR3x — PolitiTweet.org

I’m sure our friends in Japan will be as casually dismissive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden is the putative front runner but is the race headed to a choice between @ewarren & Biden...or someone else? @murphymike and I kicked all this around in the middle of the night, after the debates were in the books. @HacksonTap. Listen below👇 https://t.co/H9zWLMVApu — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But if @JoeBiden is to benefit from the backlash to attacks on @BarackObama, he can’t parse his own role in them and claim ownership only when convenient. @CoryBooker kind of busted him on that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The connundrum for primary candidates is that to attack @JoeBiden over Obama-era policies, they, by extension, have to attack @BarackObama, who would win the nomination today in a walk. That’s a perilous path to navigate. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The Showdown in Motown! @HacksOnTap review of Detroit Dem @CNN debates. The winners, losers, survivors - and who may be voted off the debate island. Up now!! https://t.co/H9zWLMVApu — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And thanks for closing the bar with me, @murphymike. Fun to kick the debates around with you! @HacksonTap Debate Recap, just hours away! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @ezraklein: The Warren-Sanders team-up on Biden is going to be absolutely brutal. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I also think @JayInslee has had a very good night. Not flashy, but earnest. And on climate change, quite strong. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Ok, I’ll say it: You were right, @VanJones68. @AndrewYang -your pick to click-is having a good night. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenatorBennet, former school superintendent, makes a passionate case that unequal educational opportunity is a root cause of racial disparities in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@KamalaHarris getting top tier treatment in this segment. Not just from @JoeBiden but @TulsiGabbard. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden finally played the card he should have played in the last debate when @KamalaHarris challenged him on race. @BarackObama vetted his record and nominated him for Vice President. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Biden fired back on @CoryBooker about Newark policing under his mayoral Administration. But Booker was faster on the draw and came out ahead on style points. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden a bit uneven but clearly more engaged and interactive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He came in with a strategy from the beginning to scold Ds for intramural squabbles while focusing on @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CoryBooker is having a strong night. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Noted that @JoeBiden mentioned it. But shouldn’t that be a central point in race against the @GOP? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@ezraklein Missed it in the hail of words. But clearly not central to the discussion. — PolitiTweet.org
