Maybe THIS is his climate change plan?! — PolitiTweet.org

A year before we vote, our Canadian neighbors wlll. Interesting kickoff ad from Liberal PM @JustinTrudeau, drawing very sharp forward/back lines with the Conservative opposition around middle class economics. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@neeratanden @ThePlumLineGS But still, they have economic pressures of their own. And if they can get a favorable deal, with more cosmetic than core concessions, why wouldn’t they go for it? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@ThePlumLineGS Whatever he gets, he will sell as big progress, right-wing media will amplify and his supporters will embrace. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I’ve said it before: @realDonaldTrump eventually will cut any deal he can with China and call it a victory. He has to. He can’t tank the economy headed into an election. And the Chinese know it. https://t.co/f9yVx3Rqex — PolitiTweet.org

He wouldn’t make these decisions based on his own business interests, would he? 🤔 https://t.co/6TM3XnpuDd — PolitiTweet.org

From the G-7, from which Russia has been expelled. “On Sunday, Mr. Trump said the United States, as the host of next year’s meeting, might invite Russia to participate.” I wonder how the @realDonaldTrump campaign team feels about his hosting Putin weeks before the 2020 election? — PolitiTweet.org

If you missed the #AxeFiles in Iowa on @CNN tonight, or went to hear more, the podcast is up now, including an extended conversation with the voters who will have a lot to say about who will advance and who won’t in the Dem presidential race. Link here:👇 https://t.co/i3le2goYbP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

At the end of the day, @GovernorBullock summed up what I love about the caucuses “It’s Iowa or bust.” #AxeFiles on @CNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We hear a lot about electability these days. @DavidYepsen, an institution in Iowa politics & the lead political writer for the @DMRegister for 30+ years, said: “in this environment, electability is very important to these Democrats, more so than I remember being in the past.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked @PeteButtigieg about the debate between electability & big structural change. He said: “I believe as much as anybody that we do need big and bold and transformative change. I also think that how bold you are is not always the exact same thing as how left you are.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Thank you, Governor! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I spent an hour with a group of Iowa Dems. They’re nowhere near making their final choices but it was striking how little @JoeBiden came up. “We need someone to get Trump out of office, but that’s not enough. We need someone who’s inspiring...” one voter said. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Iowans take their role seriously, not just b/c they vote FIRST but b/c of HOW they vote! “A caucus is a public thing. You stand up in front of your friends and your neighbors, declare who you’re for… it’s a big commitment" - Paul Tewes, who ran Iowa for @BarackObama. #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

A longtime hardliner on China trade himself, @BernieSanders told me he sees a restiveness about the trade war among farmers in IA: "The farmers here in the Midwest export a lot of products to China & elsewhere & they are very concerned about Trump's trade policies.” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Like many Americans, Iowans want to hear about issues that impact their lives, not what’s driving the news. @GovernorBullock: “In probably 30 different stops no one asked me about impeachment. None. But what they do talk about is, am I going to lose my rural hospital?” #AxeFiles — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles TONIGHT at 7 ET on @CNN, I return to Iowa to speak w/@ewarren; @BernieSanders; @PeteButtigieg; @KamalaHarris; @amyklobuchar; @GovernorBullock; organizers, activists & voters about the first-in-the-nation contest that will be the crucial gateway to the ‘20 race! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @CNN: Sen. Elizabeth Warren says her selfie lines with voters are “a core element of democracy.” Watch more on “The Axe Files” tonight… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What are the odds that something will be said? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As president, @BarackObama used these summits as means of coordinating a joint response to the global financial crisis. The contrast is stark. https://t.co/uMhG7HnnNn — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When I visited Iowa for TONIGHT’S special @CNN episode of the #AxeFiles At 7 ET, I caught up with @BernieSanders who shrugged off polls and predicted victory in the first-in-the-nation caucuses he nearly won in 2016. One of MANY great convos! Join us!! https://t.co/1QcHPknpjP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@Vegalteno Happy birthday, my friend! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The first thing you learn in the White House is that a president’s words have the power to send armies marching and markets tumbling. We saw that again today. Thru his recklessness, this @POTUS may actually TWEET us into a recession! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If there is a SCOTUS vacancy next year and @senatemajldr carries through on his extraordinary promise to fill it-despite his own previous precedent in blocking Garland-it will tear this country apart. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This may be the biggest and most portentous news on an already tumultuous day. All good wishes to Justice Ginsburg, of course. But this could be prelude to an absolutely titanic battle. https://t.co/G4NDBwrzmf — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Could true enemies of the U.S. ask for anything more than comments such as this? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Shouldn’t this read: Breaking News: Seth Moulton was a candidate for president?!? https://t.co/GHBRCreI6z — PolitiTweet.org

.@ewarren on resistance she’s met in Iowa & elsewhere to Medicare 4 All: “It tells me that the transition is really important...There are a lot of pieces to get this right. But you start by setting a goal and then aiming toward it.” The #AxeFiles is in Iowa! 7 pm Sat on @CNN. https://t.co/082ePOLJI0 — PolitiTweet.org
