“Frenzy on Left to come up with something, anything” to derail nomination. Strategy is clear. Rally the base. — PolitiTweet.org

The first question will be, why not ask Judge to testify? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sorry. Corrected: Ford was utterly riveting, credible and authentic. The senators, less so. Too much speechifying. — PolitiTweet.org

After failing to impeach Ford’s account, Mitchell turned to questions that seemed calculated to portray her as the… https://t.co/WFUW4yTv3f — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I guess the inference here is that the “vast left-wing conspiracy” paid for the lie detector test? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And many woman-and men-will remember the exchange in which Ford tearfully described Kavanaugh and Judge laughing during the alleged assault. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The profound problem for Kavanaugh is that many women, including senators, will see themselves in Christine Blasey Ford. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Let me revise my point. It was the better of bad choices to bring Mitchell in to do the questioning. But in many… https://t.co/oh8OWHeETA — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Is there something that I’m missing about why it matters that Ford came from her grandmother’s funeral to take a polygraph test? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Clever of @SenBlumenthal to quote @LindseyGrahamSC book on courage it takes for victims of sexual assault to step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@LindseyGrahamSC may need a seatbelt by the end of the day. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mitchell is velvet hammer, trying in dulcet tones to shake Ford’s testimony. So far, to no great success. — PolitiTweet.org

The issue for Kavanaugh is not just Ford’s detailed account of this assault but that he has thoroughly denied it an… https://t.co/mMJKtEbXlz — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Kavanaugh will get his turn at bat but I think I already see Amy Coney Barrett warming up in the bullpen. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

100 percent. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mitchell strategy is clear: Impeach Ford’s memory. Tough though. She continues to seem credible and ingenuous. — PolitiTweet.org

That train may be in the process of derailing before our eyes. https://t.co/yQl1uMhhUM — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I mean, we’ll see. But that was devastating testimony. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The political wisdom of the @GOP hiring a female surrogate to do the questioning is now even more clear. This woma… https://t.co/6pEOhff8Eb — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is painful. — PolitiTweet.org

“Spur of the moment gathering” would speak to why such a party would not turn up on Kavanaugh’s calendar. — PolitiTweet.org
