David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I sat down with @HurdOnTheHill last Friday for the #axefiles, and you could sense the pressures he faced as only black member of the House @GOP AND border state rep in the era of @realDonaldTrump. He announced today he won’t run in ‘20. Here’s convo👇 https://t.co/e2mSjJDR3x — PolitiTweet.org

I’m sure our friends in Japan will be as casually dismissive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden is the putative front runner but is the race headed to a choice between @ewarren & Biden...or someone else? @murphymike and I kicked all this around in the middle of the night, after the debates were in the books. @HacksonTap. Listen below👇 https://t.co/H9zWLMVApu — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But if @JoeBiden is to benefit from the backlash to attacks on @BarackObama, he can’t parse his own role in them and claim ownership only when convenient. @CoryBooker kind of busted him on that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The connundrum for primary candidates is that to attack @JoeBiden over Obama-era policies, they, by extension, have to attack @BarackObama, who would win the nomination today in a walk. That’s a perilous path to navigate. — PolitiTweet.org

The Showdown in Motown! @HacksOnTap review of Detroit Dem @CNN debates. The winners, losers, survivors - and who may be voted off the debate island. Up now!! https://t.co/H9zWLMVApu — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And thanks for closing the bar with me, @murphymike. Fun to kick the debates around with you! @HacksonTap Debate Recap, just hours away! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @ezraklein: The Warren-Sanders team-up on Biden is going to be absolutely brutal. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I also think @JayInslee has had a very good night. Not flashy, but earnest. And on climate change, quite strong. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Ok, I’ll say it: You were right, @VanJones68. @AndrewYang -your pick to click-is having a good night. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenatorBennet, former school superintendent, makes a passionate case that unequal educational opportunity is a root cause of racial disparities in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@KamalaHarris getting top tier treatment in this segment. Not just from @JoeBiden but @TulsiGabbard. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden finally played the card he should have played in the last debate when @KamalaHarris challenged him on race. @BarackObama vetted his record and nominated him for Vice President. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Biden fired back on @CoryBooker about Newark policing under his mayoral Administration. But Booker was faster on the draw and came out ahead on style points. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@JoeBiden a bit uneven but clearly more engaged and interactive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He came in with a strategy from the beginning to scold Ds for intramural squabbles while focusing on @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@CoryBooker is having a strong night. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Noted that @JoeBiden mentioned it. But shouldn’t that be a central point in race against the @GOP? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@ezraklein Missed it in the hail of words. But clearly not central to the discussion. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Three words that were so devastating to Republican candidates last year never came up in the whole health care debate we just heard: Pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenatorBennet offers an animated critique of @KamalaHarris Medicare for All plan for eliminating employer-based health coverage. More effective than Biden’s. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Good pivot by @CoryBooker, warning Ds against civil war over health care. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @sarahkliff: I love a good health care debate...and this is not a very good health care debate. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Why wasn’t @Joebiden looking at @KamalaHarris when she was addressing him? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Strong open for @Joebiden, aimed squarely at @realDonaldTrump. We’ll see if he can stay there amid the incoming from his fellow candidates. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

That didn’t take long. 30 seconds in, @BilldeBlasio takes first swipe at @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @ron_fournier: Stunned that Democratic presidential candidates in #Detroit didn’t address the GM plant closing a few minutes away from d… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Who’s up? Who’s down? Who’s gone? @murphymike and I are getting together in the middle of night to lock that around in a special post-debate episode of @HacksOnTap! Up in the A.M. https://t.co/14pTBq5doy — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Cool video debate mashup from the new and interesting @therecount! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

After a soporific performance in the first debate, I have the distinct impression that @BernieSanders may have prepped with a can of Red Bull before this one. — PolitiTweet.org
