In fairness, @joebiden hasn’t run a campaign of his own in 12 years, during which digital list building and fundraising has exploded. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly he can catch up now. Started today by using @realDonaldTrump attack Tweet in a digital appeal. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So what exactly happened here? Did @realDonaldTrump order his envoy to sign a pledge to pay $2 million in “medical expenses” to North Korea to secure Otto Wambier’s release? Trump says the U.S didn’t pay. But he did the U.S. didn’t PROMISE to pay. https://t.co/sCD3Dj5ADN — PolitiTweet.org

So interesting to see the clash of political cultures. Biden begins more traditionally with high dollar fundraisers and union endorsements. Many of the others are counting on the Internet for grassroots dollars and organizing. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This piece raises a really provocative point: How culpable are we, the people, for the quality of our leadership? https://t.co/BJpNYuuz63 — PolitiTweet.org

If Congress doesn’t fight this, you might as well put a Constitution that gives it oversight authority over the executive branch into a shredder. https://t.co/hbXYUQpc4y — PolitiTweet.org

Saying on Twitter what he would not say under oath. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Energetic, smart @JoeBiden kickoff video. Essentially bypasses the primaries and goes right to main event, assailing @realDonaldTrump, putting Charlottesville front and center; framing the fight as a titanic struggle for American values. https://t.co/clItM46Dfu via @YouTube — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

There’s no precedent for this kind of blanket defiance of congressional oversight. @BarackObama was the frequent target of a Republican-run House and never, to my knowledge, invoked exec privilege to stop people from testifying or providing depositions. https://t.co/bo8HNeqnvj — PolitiTweet.org

Most daring baserunner since Jackie Robinson! @javy23baez of the @Cubs! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Leaks? Nielsen and her allies are opening the water cannon on @realDonaldTrump, including this appalling story. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What fun to join the West Wing “cast!” (Podcast, that is.) — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When the stock market fell precipitously at the end of 2018 apparently THEN impeachment would have been appropriate? Mind-blowing reasoning. If the stock market is up, a POTUS is free to lie, cheat and obstruct justice? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

By God, that’s showing ‘em!🙄 https://t.co/eju1OtvNSI — PolitiTweet.org

The ultimate sign of progress in presidential politics: You become the target of opposition research! https://t.co/5cm9CxH8zN — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The world knows @ValerieJarrett as an indispensable adviser/friend to @BarackObama & @MichelleObama, but she has an extraordinary personal story of her own. Here is our #AxeFiles convo, recorded before an audience at @UChiPolitics last week. https://t.co/1CtBugapsw https://t.co/U6ISVz0LXK — PolitiTweet.org

This is why freedom of the press is to be zealously guarded- and what happens when it is not. https://t.co/mUv0jH0qWc — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Interesting. Young people are decidedly cool to lowering the voting age to 16. From newly released @Havardiop poll. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Difference between last @CNN town hall and this one for @PeteButtigieg is his success-and the scrutiny it brings. Got a couple of fair and tough questions tonight about his mayoral record. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Add voting rights for 16 years old. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Add voting rights for prisoners to “discussion” list. But as some have pointed out, she did land squarely in favor of impeachment proceedings and promised executive actions on background checks if Congress doesn’t act within 100 days of her presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@KamalaHarris wants to study stuff. @ewarren college debt plan is “a discussion we should have.” Reparations is “something we should study.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@JRubinBlogger @BernieSanders True — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Great question to the perpetually emphatic @BernieSanders about what, if anything, he has changed his mind on lately. Said he is paying more attention than he has in the past to foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

There IS a kind of get off my lawn quality to him, however. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Give it to @BernieSanders, he doesn’t duck, even when taking positions that could cut against him. In first minutes: Chided young people for not voting. Stuck by voting rights for people IN prison. Explains to black student why he opposes cash reparations. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Been on a plane and in cars watching the fascinating candidate Town Halls on @CNN. One thing I’d note right off the top: Passionate @ewarren oration on the anti-consumer aspects of ‘05 bankruptcy bill was a not-very-subtle shot across the bow to @JoeBiden, who fought for it. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump: “I’ve had a lot of great lawyers, like Roy Cohn. He did not take notes.” Cohn was disbarred for unethical conduct. https://t.co/Ib4pUd7Xc3 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Whatever @realDonaldTrump is paying @RudyGiuliani is not enough to compensate him for the complete and utter sacrifice of integrity and credibility required to defend the indefensible. — PolitiTweet.org

Too good not to share: My dog, Mac, and his young buddy, Jackson, watching for rabbits. https://t.co/SJzd3S1wPm — PolitiTweet.org
