By now, canpaigns have done all the prep; rehearsed their money lines and pivots with other candidates over and over; scoped out the latest reporting and commentary from the panelists to try to predict their questions. Checked late news for any hint of a new line of inquiry... — PolitiTweet.org

One thing people forget is that @Barackobama wasn’t very good in the early primary debates. He grew into it as time went on. The experience of being on these daunting platforms is valuable. Only two of the candidates, @joebiden and @BernieSanders, have it. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I absolutely do not miss from my campaign days: the minutes of apprehension before a televised candidate debate! — PolitiTweet.org

Why does @realDonaldTrump, who regularly holds up Mueller’s report as exculpatory, lash out at the news that the special counsel is going to testify publicly about it?🤔 (Rhetorical question.) https://t.co/kidl6HUyYm — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone know why there is a ground hold at LaGuardia Airport? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Congress absolutely can’t leave before dealing with this border issue, so the looming holiday is a great forcing mechanism. As a wise man once told me, there is no more effective way to get the Hill moving than the smell of jet fuel! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Candidates are generally not great at having a laugh at their own expense. So I was impressed by @Ewarren response when she was asked by the @nytimes to describe a recent moment when she was embarrassed. https://t.co/lRzAkDORFv — PolitiTweet.org

America took in my immigrant family, driven from their home by violence and persecution. This photo breaks my heart. https://t.co/zNBpiWoBI3 — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump on assault accusation against him: “She’s not my type.” So if she WERE? Sexual assault would be, what? Permissible?!? — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a reality check: This new Emerson poll shows @JoeBiden with 60% among black voters. It was taken before last week’s flap, but still...a very big number. https://t.co/09AsnQ24Gq — PolitiTweet.org

My cut on tough week for @PeteButtigieg: “Buttigieg has demonstrated the intellectual depth & agility the job requires. Can he throw off the tight emotional restraints that seem to bind him? This more than any other factor may define how far he can go.” https://t.co/JFJyI0KaK6 — PolitiTweet.org

He is one of the most celebrated-and controversial-military leaders of our time. My #AxeFiles conversation with General David Petraeus. Up now. https://t.co/4gOYWwMiZu https://t.co/xhxhzFGNVH — PolitiTweet.org

An American resident and journalist for an American newspaper was dismembered in the Saudi Embassy-a hit ordered by a Saudi prince. It is sickening to hear a U.S. president dismiss this as the price of doing business. What signal does that send? https://t.co/TFOO2YPZ4N — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Watching this Town Hall on the police shooting in SB reminds that presidential races are a series of tests. Some, like debates, you can anticipate Others you cannot. @PeteButtigieg faces one of those unanticipated tests now. Thru it, we will learn more about him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @VP is crystal clear here. He’s not going to say climate change is a threat, and claims the admin will be guided by “science” WHAT science?!? The science is clear, as are the effects: Extreme weather. Epic floods. Raging wildfires. Global instability. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This a really interesting exercise. It does give you a sense of these candidates. https://t.co/Ibs8b922pG — PolitiTweet.org

How is it that you asked these questions 10 MINUTES BEFORE LAUNCH!?!! Who authorized the strike in the first place? #notcomforting — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump is enthused by the idea of styling on a reviewing stand as the military and weapontry parade by. But being Commander-in-Chief actually is about making sober, well thought out judgements, based on the best information you have, in grave, urgent moments like this. — PolitiTweet.org
