Old CW: @JoeBiden is a fragile frontrunner, hobbled by age, record and excessive touching. New CW: @JoeBiden is a behemoth astride the primary field, the dragon-slayer-in- waiting. Conclusion: CW is usually overdone. — PolitiTweet.org

That said, the tentative signs of progress by the “persistent” and policy-laden @Ewarren should add to concerns in the @BernieSanders camp, as they are very much working the same side of the street. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Agree with all of these, @NateSilver538, with two obvious caveats: These polls are measuring @JoeBiden in the hours after a solid announcement, which makes his #s hard to judge. And all polls now are measuring a marathon at the Mile 4 marker. Interesting but not dispositive. — PolitiTweet.org

For six years, Republican congresses rejected proposals from @BarackObama for major investments in infrastructure. Now Dems say @realDonaldTrump has agreed in principle to a $2 trillion plan. Will he bring @GOP along? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden, at a union hall in Pittsburgh, just gave a rousing 40 minute kickoff speech— in 27 minutes! Maybe he wanted to inject a sense of energy. Or was he was just double parked? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Extensive climate plan from @BetoORourke suggests new phase. If he can match his preternatural ability to connect with serious policy chops, he’ll make noise in the race. This period, out of the glare of frontrunner lights, is his chance to build that. https://t.co/IGTcp85pck — PolitiTweet.org

Is it Walter White? Lyndon Johnson? Howard Beale? Nope. It’s the man who has brilliantly brought all of them to life! My #AxeFiles with the extraordinary @BryanCranston: https://t.co/0Hctp65fFM https://t.co/CNB3cZ9JLp — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed. That’s how it works. — PolitiTweet.org

Lugar was a gracious mentor and colleague to a young senator from Illinois, a junior member of his Foreign Relations Committee, with whom he partnered to combat nuclear proliferation. https://t.co/1fXEYxFDst — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sad to hear of the passing of former Sen. Richard Lugar, Republican of Indiana. His civility and statesmanship are sorely missed today. RIP. https://t.co/DDtbtx4uDU — PolitiTweet.org

Let us remember the victims of the latest synagogue shooting. Hate is viral. One can’t exploit in it on a regular basis and then credibly offer solace when its bitter fruit is harvested. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I had a terrific #AxeFiles convo last week with the great @BryanCranston. Up TOMORROW on @hearluminary! Here he discusses Lyndon Johnson, a character he played brilliantly in All the Way, and the comity that once existed in Congress that has gone out of our politics today. https://t.co/1ukdZMZNqJ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Former acting AG @SallyQYates didn’t hold back on @MeetThePress: In her 30 yrs as prosecutor, Yates said, she tried cases of obstruction on far less evidence than case laid out by Mueller against @POTUS. Were he not president, Yates said, Trump likely would’ve been indicted. — PolitiTweet.org

“In a pattern where prejudice is minimized in an environment where intolerance is trivialized and when prejudice becomes politicized, we shouldn’t be surprised.” https://t.co/FmmEAEmK3i — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump tells N.R.A. how he still plans to shoot down the Affordable Care Act. Guess he missed the ‘18 election, which rendered a resounding verdict. I’m sure there are a lot of ‘20 Dem candidates, rhetorical weapons cocked, who are saying, “Go ahead. Make my day!” — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to the first episode of The Redemption Project, hosted by my pal @VanJones68, Sunday at 9 ET on @CNN. Check out the clip below: https://t.co/ul2JaqajsR — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout Chicagoland today & tomorrow, volunteers are hitting the streets to raise $$ for Misericordia Homes, a miraculous community that has transformed the lives of women, men & children with intellectual & physical disabilities.

Last night, @JoeBiden sent our a digital appeal for $1 contributions. Goal is to claim a lot of donors quickly and balance off his big donors to bring down the size of his average contribution. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In fairness, @joebiden hasn’t run a campaign of his own in 12 years, during which digital list building and fundraising has exploded. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly he can catch up now. Started today by using @realDonaldTrump attack Tweet in a digital appeal. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So what exactly happened here? Did @realDonaldTrump order his envoy to sign a pledge to pay $2 million in “medical expenses” to North Korea to secure Otto Wambier’s release? Trump says the U.S didn’t pay. But he did the U.S. didn’t PROMISE to pay. https://t.co/sCD3Dj5ADN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So interesting to see the clash of political cultures. Biden begins more traditionally with high dollar fundraisers and union endorsements. Many of the others are counting on the Internet for grassroots dollars and organizing. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This piece raises a really provocative point: How culpable are we, the people, for the quality of our leadership? https://t.co/BJpNYuuz63 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If Congress doesn’t fight this, you might as well put a Constitution that gives it oversight authority over the executive branch into a shredder. https://t.co/hbXYUQpc4y — PolitiTweet.org
