David Axelrod: Biden is playing into Trump's caricature of being 'weak mentally'
Fox News ^ | June 11, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod expressed his concerns that former Vice President Joe Biden is "playing into the the caricature" made by President Trump that has questioned the Democratic frontrunner's fitness to lead.

Both Trump and Biden exchanged harsh attacks between one another on Tuesday as they both made campaign stops in Iowa, with the president telling reporters outside the White House that the former VP is "weak mentally.”

Appearing on CNN, Axelrod cautioned that Biden's light campaign schedule, when compared to those of other competitors in the Democratic field, left him open to such criticisms.

"The thing that I think is important for Biden is to run an energetic campaign that dispels any of these caricatures," Axelrod told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. "He hasn't had a very heavy campaign schedule. He has sort of played into the caricature and I think he is going to have to come forward... with ideas and he going to have to campaign energetically."

I know, I know. It’s all a very clever act by Joe Biden to act like he’s stupid. He’s got us all fooled.

The Dems and the media, in tandem, were the first to call out Trump as being mental unable/unstable to be President.

Trump's just throwing it back at them, and he's doing a beautiful job with the ammo they gave him.

He can make himself look a lot smarter if he picks Harris or Booker for his VP. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

All of Biden's past has magically went into thin air.

No one in the media is bringing up clips of him talking about segregation and being against homosexuality in the 1970s; his plagiarism and brain aneurysm that forced him to step down in 1988; his treatment of Clarence Thomas and passing tough crime legislation in the 1990s; his ridiculous 3-state solution to Iraq in the 2000s, and being Obama's VP for 8 years.

36 years in the Senate, 8 years as VP yet Biden blames Trump for America's (perceived) problems.

In the final weeks before the general, Trump was making between 4-7 campaign stops every day. I think people half his age would be hard-pressed to keep up with that kind of schedule for a month.
