On the #AxeFiles, @cindymccain has this for Rs in Congress, reluctant to take on @POTUS: “I understand what it means to get reelected. But at some point you have to do what you were elected to do, and that is represent the country.” Podcast here👇 https://t.co/VPsTL5Wzia https://t.co/dhTXYGJAX2 — PolitiTweet.org

Among the things @RonJohnsonWI did not explain was why @realDonaldTrump assigned @RudyGiuliani to run messages to the Ukrainians about his asks instead of working through normal channels. — PolitiTweet.org

Through the #ActsOfCivility campaign @CindyMcCain aims to make our world a kinder place: “I’m in charge of his legacy now. And that’s a big job… I think we can just remind people of what is good about us and practice that, practice the golden rule" #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On inviting Presidents George W Bush & @BarackObama to Sen. McCain's funeral, @CindyMcCain said “he respected both of them, respected their leadership, their honesty… in his mind I believe it was a coming together. It was a respect for both sides...there were a lot of messages." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CindyMcCain on Sen. McCain's historic thumbs down vote to block the repeal of the ACA: “He always tried to do what was right, what he felt was right for the country & I think in that case he was right. There was no other presentation of anything that was better or different.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CindyMcCain’s mission to fight human trafficking began after an encounter in a shop in Calcutta: “While I’m shopping I hear this kind of rumbling, kind of movement from underneath the floorboards…there had to have been 50 little girls down there…it made me angry as hell.” — PolitiTweet.org

“It was way too easy to get this stuff. I mean, I'm totally at fault, I did this. But, it's way too easy to get it and I'm glad that people are beginning now to take action in making sure that that's not the case, and it only goes to those who truly need it.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, @CindyMcCain recalls her addiction to painkillers that began with an injury but spiraled out control: “It was pressure that I put on myself… I wanted to be perfect… I put undue stress on myself. As a result of that I just couldn’t handle it all.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

After the ugly attacks against Sen. McCain in the ’00 presidential, @CindyMcCain was reluctant to do it again in ’08: “I was the last one on board. In fact, they were dragging my toes in the sand to get me up there. I certainly wanted John to do it…but it pained me.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CindyMcCain says it’s a “real possibility” that Arizona will turn blue in 2020: “Younger people are more moderate and so I think you may possibly see a blue state coming up.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CindyMcCain still considers the @GOP home: “I’m not leaving the Republican party. I love the Republican party… but I hope that the younger people who are more moderate than the party represents will have a place at the same Republican table that I was afforded.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CindyMcCain says it's a mistake to lower the # of refugees allowed into US: “I see nothing but richness, integrity, great contributions to the community…it’s our duty to help those less fortunate & those who are running for their lives...I wish we could allow more to come in.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Does @CindyMcCain ever offer her “fifth child,” Senator Graham, any advice these days? “I have offered advice; yes I have,” she said with a hearty laugh, leaving it at that. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked @CindyMcCain on #AxeFiles about the shift of her husband’s protégé, @LindseyGraham, from harsh @realDonaldTrump critic to staunch defender. “Listen, Lindsey is a member of our family. I feel like sometimes he’s my fifth child. In many ways, I love him to death.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles on @CNN now, @CindyMcCain said “Oh, gosh. I -- I think he’d be disgusted with some of the stuff that’s going on. I really do. I think he’d be -- what he’d be saying was that he’d be railing against what’s going on,” emboldening other Rs to speak out. https://t.co/BLQM7VwnD1 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Join @CindyMcCain and me at the top of the hour for a wide-ranging #AxeFiles conversation about her husband’s extraordinary life and her own; the state of the country, the parties, and her hope for the future. If you’re headed out, record it! It’s well worth your time. https://t.co/8KYrKYrxzd — PolitiTweet.org

After getting lustily booed at two sporting events, @realDonaldTrump finally finds a receptive audience down South at the ‘Bama-LSU game. Check out this article from USA TODAY: President Trump overwhelmingly cheered during Alabama-LSU football game https://t.co/tr7fVSydq6 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sometimes a look speaks more loudly than words. Take a look at @CindyMcCain’s face when I ask on tonight’s #AxeFiles on @CNN about the WH ordering the Navy to keep the USS John S. McCain out of sight during a recent visit to Asia of @realDonaldTrump. Join us at 7 pm ET! https://t.co/AwPij1oq8b — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked @CindyMcCain during our #AxeFiles conversation, which airs TONIGHT at 7 pm ET, whether, given the @realDonaldTrump attacks, if she would vouch for the integrity of @JoeBiden, a longtime political opponent-and personal friend-of the McCain’s. Here’s what she said: https://t.co/skNhvQQrcr — PolitiTweet.org

Is he a chip off the old block, or what? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The calculation apparently is that @JoeBiden will flounder in early contests and @MikeBloomberg can fill a void in the center lane. — PolitiTweet.org
