The big winners in @realDonaldTrump decision to pull U.S. troops from Northern Syria: Russia and Putin; Syria and the murderous Assad; Iran; and ISIS. Losers: Our Kurdish allies, Israel and America’s standing in the world. https://t.co/k7Gzy7IS3S — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I’ve said it before: @realDonaldTrump has flagrantly mistreated many of his former appointees as he’s shown them the door. They have absolutely no reason to do him any favors—which may come back to bite him hard in this impeachment probe. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

At @UChiPolitics on Friday, former SecState @JohnKerry spoke as a war veteran about the sense of betrayal U.S. special forces must feel about leaving their Kurdish allies behind. (See below.) The @nytimes story this morning captured their feelings. https://t.co/TTNU0pVXV8 https://t.co/MtzYb9NLU7 — PolitiTweet.org

“...and all you have is a basic understanding of what the law is in America. You can't do what he did and go unpunished.” To hear the full conversation with @SenatorReid, check out the #AxeFiles podcast at https://t.co/tHgG1b2Nxt — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Reid did say on the #AxeFiles on @CNN that you were smarter than he thought and that you wouldn’t be easy to beat. But since you obviously respect his opinion, this part must have displeased you: “You can't go to a foreign government and have them investigate your opponent... — PolitiTweet.org

Our hearts are breaking for little Adelaide and the Cervantes family. Not even four years old, Adelaide battled epilepsy to the last. May she find the peace now that eluded her in life. And in Adelaide’s memory, let us fight on to @CureEpilepsy and spare others her struggle. — PolitiTweet.org

“She is the most wonderful human being,” @SenatorReid said of Landra. “I'm sure there had been marriages as happy as ours but none happier. I'm still as in love with my wife, after having been married sixty years, as I was when we were teenagers.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked @SenatorReid, who is battling cancer, how he would like to be remembered. His answer was touching and surprising. He said he most wants his kids and grandkids to remember him for his marriage to his beloved Landra: — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorReid, who urged @BarackObama to run for POTUS, and faithfully backed him when he got there: “This is something I don't throw around very often, but I love Barack Obama, I really do. Man to man, I love Barack Obama. No one else could do what he did.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Passing the ACA was personal for @SenatorReid: “I felt a tremendous pressure to get it done. Having been raised the way I was with no healthcare, my mother had no teeth, we didn’t go to doctors… healthcare was something we had to get done.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, @SenatorReid slammed James Comey: “I think @Comey elected Trump…He was afraid to take a stand for fear he would been seen as a partisan and he wound up hurting everybody.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In the day, @SenatorReid famously sparred with GW Bush. He recently wrote Bush a letter: “I said to him, ‘I was the leader, you were president and we knocked heads. But I look back with such nostalgia to those days. I lament the fact that you're not there now.’”#AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenatorReid and I talked about a painful reality we share: losing our dads to suicide, “Suicide was something that happens to other people…never do you expect it.” Let’s end the stigma about mental illness. Please reach out for help if you need it! 1-800-273-8255. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenatorReid grew up in Searchlight, NV, where the #1 industry was prostitution. “I’m the only senator in the history of the world that learned to swim in a whorehouse swimming pool.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@SenatorReid says it was wrong for @realdonaldtrump to go after @JoeBiden's family: “One of the things that Biden is admired for is his life story…. I think for someone to pick on his remaining son ...I just think they've gone too far.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles on @CNN, @SenatorReid says he’s “tremendously disappointed" in the Senate Republicans who almost certainly wouldn't vote to convict @realdonaldtrump: "these Rs are afraid to speak out against the things he does that are absolutely wrong & they know they’re wrong" https://t.co/1WDCypIadI — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In his life, @SenatorReid has overcome withering poverty; faced down the Mob in Vegas and, after a series of losses, risen to national leadership. Now battling cancer w/very same resolve, he reflects on his remarkable journey & our country. #AxeFiles TONIGHT at 7 ET on @CNN! https://t.co/UZoyD8qVsm — PolitiTweet.org

And not just poor Rudy but the two thugs he lunched with shortly before they were arrested at the airport while apparently trying to flee the country to avoid indictment for crimes in which Rudy may have been involved. It’s all so unfair! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As Dem leader in the senate, @Senatorreid recruited @ewarren and put her in leadership. Is she “too far left” to get elected president? On tonight’s #AxeFiles on @CNN, Reid says no. “Oh, I know she’s pragmatic. Just wait,” he told me with a smile. Join us at 7pm ET. On @CNN! https://t.co/mIPc6vnozF — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

You gotta love that @realDonaldTrump delivered his @joeBiden “was only a good vice president because he knew how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass” line at that rally the other day only after a fawning preliminary speech by Mike Pence! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And here @JohnKerry @UChiPolitics spoke about the crucial role the courts may play in this impeachment standoff. https://t.co/mArwetrXfl — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Former SecState @JohnKerry visited @UChiPolitics today and spoke, among other things, of @realDonaldTrump decision to pull U.S. back and allow Turkey to advance on Kurds. He called it “and incomprehensible, shocking betrayal.” Clip below: https://t.co/TdxcXKUTK1 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This China deal is not surprising for 2 reasons: 1) @realDonaldTrump could not go into 2020 with the trade war raging. 2) And he desperately needed to change the subject after an epically bad week. Be interesting to see what this deal actually yields. https://t.co/vfF26gbCji — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles airing Saturday on @CNN, former @SenatorReid warns Dems about @realDonaldTrump & 2020: “I used to think that Donald Trump was not too smart. I certainly don't believe that anymore. No matter what the subject, any argument he involves himself in, it's on his terms. https://t.co/y9seGhuAHV — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, @SenatorReid spoke about @LindseyGrahamSC: “It's amazing what happened to him when John McCain died. He suddenly was no longer a John McCain Republican. He became a South-Carolina-want-to-get-reelected Republican and he is a total fetch guy for the President.” https://t.co/zwHHpdOLp8 — PolitiTweet.org
