Some will say @JoeBiden is taking license. But from the vantage point of someone who was there, it isn’t hyperbole to say he was a great VP, a loyal and impactful partner to @BarackObama. — PolitiTweet.org

.@PeteButtieg on Iowans: “I'm talking to a lot of people that say ‘I think you're fantastic. You're in my top four.’ But they're not going give that vote easily. They really want to weigh & poke & prod you; your ideas AND your character.” #AxeFiles in Iowa! 7 pm ET Sat on @CNN! https://t.co/3NdZb4z2K8 — PolitiTweet.org

@BarackObama was the first senator to be elected POTUS since JFK. Before that, Harding in 1920. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Governors were once the wellspring from which presidential candidates were chosen. Not anymore. With the exits of @Hickenlooper and @JayInslee, the only governor left, out of remaining 22 in Dem race, is @GovernorBullock of Montana! — PolitiTweet.org

If downbeat poll numbers cause “The Chosen One” to behave erratically, buckle up, America. It’s going to be a bumpy ride! https://t.co/XqY1BBfBRJ — PolitiTweet.org

I has an #AxeFiles convo with @JayInslee awhile back, before he set out on the POTUS path. Worth a listen. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Never flashy, @JayInslee didn’t find his lane. But he impressed me with his smart, earnest advocacy around climate change and an array of issues. He leaves with his dignity in tact and reputation enhanced, which isn’t always true in presidential races. https://t.co/6ItcBuqDvZ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Electability re @realDonaldTrump ; partnership w/Obama; empathy and character. This is what @JoeBiden is selling and his success, ultimately, will depend on his own ability to deliver the message. But his first ad in Iowa delivers it clear as day. https://t.co/TmujggkVYz — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Spent a lot of time in Iowa during my campaign days, and just returned for a late summer #AxeFiles look-in on the all-important caucuses! I spoke with candidates, activists AND the Americans whose first-in-the nation votes will define the Dem race. Join us Sat 7p EST on @CNN! https://t.co/YbH3ibYBn5 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when the @GOP was moralizing about deficits? Remember when we were told the tax cuts would spur such growth they would largely pay for themselves? Now?👇 https://t.co/nvEh6KygZM — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Having alarmed American Jews by invoking a chilling anti-Semitic trope, @realDonaldTrump takes cover behind one of the looniest right-wing conspiracy theorists around. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He won’t stand up to the NRA, the Russians, Kim or the Saudis. But, by God, at least we have a president who is willing to take on the Danes! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I asked this question two weeks ago. Sadly, we now have the answer. Whenever @realDonaldTrump talks about guns, he’s shooting blanks! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The Mooch is on the loose! Once @realDonaldTrump ‘s Mini Me, @Scaramucci just ticked up their escalating feud another notch, disclosing on the new @HacksOnTap that he’s planning a PAC to “dismantle Trump” in 2020. Pod below👇 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the latest #AxeFiles on @hearluminary, we take a deep dive into the archives to hear from some of the leading Dem candidates for president. Here's @KamalaHarris on how she was often the “first” in many roles, from AG to Senator. Full episode here: https://t.co/0fmKDfnDuM https://t.co/WN0JSfx0ai — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Eager to ask @Scaramucci about this when he joins the @HacksOnTap on tomorrow’s podcast! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Back here on Earth, Real Clear Politics polling average for Trump’s approval rating currently stands at 43.4% and his unfavorable rating at 54.3% In fact, he’s the only president since the beginning of polling to never have broken 50% at this stage in his presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The Chinese know what is plainly obvious. @realDonaldTrump has an election next year. He cannot go into it with a continued trade war, which is punishing farmers who have lost a huge market and U.S. consumers, who pay the tariffs. At some point, he will fold and claim victory. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Standby. Another around coming in two weeks! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Over the years, I’ve had #Axefiles convos w/many of the leading Dem candidates about how they became who they are. Here are revealing excepts from four who will be on the Sept. debate stage: @ewarren; @BernieSanders; @KamalaHarris & @PeteButtigieg. 👇 https://t.co/0fmKDfnDuM https://t.co/Z2HkvIOSok — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

That’s @PeteButtigieg! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Fun reminisces from all, including Sanders’s recollections of his years a student organizer at @uchicago in the ‘60s, where it all began! #AxeFiles on @HearLuminary!! — PolitiTweet.org

This photo w/@berniesanders was taken in an RV during the very 1st episode of the #theaxefiles on 9/28/15. Tomorrow, 346 eps later, we’ll be sharing a best of Dem candidates reel, featuring excerpts from past shows w/Sanders, @elizabethwarren, @kamalaharris & @pete.buttigieg. https://t.co/8s6wEABUEW — PolitiTweet.org

By answering Halperin’s questions, I did not in any way mean to excuse his past, egregious behavior and, in retrospect, I regret responding at all. — PolitiTweet.org
