Axelrod seems to be faking something of a conscience. At this point, he realizes that while the 2012 election is going to go down as a miracle of politics, his entire life hasn’t added up to dry dog droppings, and he knows it.
He says he believes in politics, like that’s the end, and not the means.
He’s the leader of the band of fellow travelers. The guy is inarguably the best at what he does, but in the end, look what he did.
The 2012 win was huge. No way an R pulls that off. That he started out a journalist makes so much sense.
Anyway, I respect him, and pity him. All this stuff he’s wrought over the last 40 years is going to come crashing down around him, and he’ll write another book called, “Hey, I just got them there.”
The news from yesterday was about admitting he got his candidate to lie through his teeth to get elected.
Then he comes out today and puts down other operatives that put winning and money over everything else.
That’s sociopathy.
“He’s the leader of the band of fellow travelers. The guy is inarguably the best at what he does, but in the end, look what he did.”
He’s the lefts version of Karl Marx Rove.
