In fairness, he also urged the president to avoid “personal attacks!🙄 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In my #AxeFiles convo with @PeteButtigieg, I asked him if his chill demeanor put him at a disadvantage in breaking through in Dem debates. You can hear his answer below: To listen to my full conversation with Mayor Pete, you can find it at https://t.co/hZdwHqsr2M https://t.co/lRGHfdMNLL — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump apparently can’t distinguish between loving America and loving HIM! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The dominance of @realDonaldTrump over the @GOP can be measured in the timidity Republican politicians have shown in response to his racist Tweets. It’s his party now! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With his deliberate, racist outburst, @realDonaldTrump wants to raise the profile of his targets, drive Dems to defend them and make them emblematic of the entire party. It’s a cold, hard strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We’ve never before had president who so regularly, blatantly—almost gleefully—seeks to inflame and divide the country. That is his whole formula so, fasten your seatbelts, it will only get worse as the election approaches. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Now he is offended by “foul language”?!? And demanding apologies for “the terrible things” people say? @realDonaldTrump?!? — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you!! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Leaving aside the outrageousness of his language, this is what Democrats can expect on Twitter, and in more insidious digital communications, @realDonaldTrump and his campaign will seek to exploit wedges between Ds wherever they can. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“From his failed efforts to repeal Obamacare to Republicans’ loss of the House majority in 2018, Trump has proved adept at seeing — and promoting — the bright side of failure.” https://t.co/XlSyIYRkY0 — PolitiTweet.org

For those who missed my #AxeFile show with Mayor @PeteButtigieg on @CNN tonight, or would like to hear more of@our conversation, the @hearluminary podcast is up! https://t.co/yaiVnYwINf — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Every one. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg on his battle w/ @VP & right-wing evangelicals: “Either they have somehow convinced themselves that God would smile on tearing families apart or on the behavior of this president, or they don’t care and it’s all just kind of a sham.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg on the military experience he'd bring to the WH: “When I left Afghanistan in the fall of '14 I thought I was 1 of the last guys turning out the lights. Now 5 yrs later we’re still there. It forces you to confront the Q of what it takes to end these endless wars." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@morrislaw @PeteButtigieg @CNN Tuesday! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg on why he was 33 before he came out: “Growing up in Indiana, having your professional choices mostly revolve around service and elected office and service in the military, doesn’t exactly create an easy path for somebody who’s different.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg says time in Afghanistan prodded him to come out: “It was really only the deployment that kind of shook me awake, and I realized my life could end as a grown man in a position of responsibility who has no idea what it’s like to be in love.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg, on his lack of DC experience: “Well, I do think that spending too much time in Washington may constrain your imagination about the ways in which Washington needs to change.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@wkpixley1 @louiseloveland @PeteButtigieg When the show is over the podcast of the full conversation will go up. I’ll share the link. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg: “I actually think we need far more voices than we have today, especially in the Democratic Party, speaking for communities that are midsize and smaller and rural and suburban rather than appearing to be a party of the biggest cities alone.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sam, why is the Luminary link here? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg: “When it comes to a lot of policies that we’re being pushed to do — say, that we can pay down the last penny of tuition for any student, including the child of a billionaire — they are questionable on their merits and pretty far out from where Americans are.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg: “If we look like all we have to say is, let’s go back to normal — there's going to be a lot of people who feel like normal has not worked for them for decades.” @JoeBiden? “He’s one candidate who runs that risk a great deal.” https://t.co/TZdOh1Mp1A — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@PeteButtigieg: “I’m not interested in winning w/out black support…when you’re new on the scene & you’re not from a community of color & you’ve got a city w/ a complex history you’ve got to do a lot of work in a short amt of time to build that trust& build those relationships.” https://t.co/tyNhleDVc0 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I pressed @PeteButtigieg on dismal AA police hiring and less than 1% of SB city contracts to minority businesses. “We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, recognizing in the areas where we lag behind, the need for intentional steps… adjusting and improving as we go.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked @PeteButtigieg on the #AxeFiles, which airs at 7 pm ET TONIGHT on @CNN, if his even temperament is a actually a disadvantage in televised debates. Here is what he said: https://t.co/A5e7EORu7Q — PolitiTweet.org
