Ha ha ha, this is great, "Astroturf" Axelrod is pissed.
>>> ... he forces all Democrats to embrace them, to support the argument that they are the iconic figures in the party
This is the 'great Axelrod' saying Democrats themselves are dumb. Trump easily manipulate them on his twittering fingers. All Democrats have to do is not responding to Trump's pokes. Media going overdrive to paint the Narrative that Trump's tweet was racist, to no avail. All Democrats need to do is to show that they are not the crazies, but they all responded in the predictable way.
This is going to be a FUN one year and a half till Nov 2020.
” But I just have to take a step back as a strategist and say I recognize what he’s doing...”
That’s all you need to read.
” the Democratic party is too far left... we can’t take four more years of this”
People vote their pocketbook. Most people do not care about anything but if they have a job and can pay their bills.
Trump is not the reason the Dems are rallying around those four. It is the reality that the Democrat party is beholden to its more progressive elements, and cannot afford to alienate them. Trump is just exposing that reality to voters.
Svengali’s like Axelrod and Karl Rove are swept up in their own importance and brilliance, thinking that they are masters of the universe when it comes to politics. Nothing could be further from the truth, the reality is they had a ton of luck and maybe figured out part of the puzzle once or twice. Trump has been solving that puzzle for a long time...
{{”Apparently, he’s like a self-hating America hater,” Axelrod quipped.}}
Whatever the hell that means.
Trump took the gloves off. He made it clear that personally attacking him and his family will not go unpunished, even from a group of bitter hags. Just think about all the evil tings these sistas have said about Trump, Melania and his children from traitors to racists etc.
The Democrats have a huge field and not enough money to go around. The candidates that get the money can move on, and Trump is energizing the Left, as Axelrod has pointed out. Long after this summer is over, the Democrats will be saddled with a candidate who remained a going concern through a summer that will otherwise be forgotten, except for the lunatic pronouncements by Democrats that will be running in negative ads on a loop in battleground states.
Speaking of CNN, I was channel surfing late last night and I stopped by for a moment. They had David Gergen on and he was pompously lecturing about millennials and them being very sensitive to Trump’s remarks and the like and how this was going to cost Republicans in the future. That made me think of someone here not long ago sharing a 1982 NYT article on the midterms and the article quoted Gergen as criticizing Reagan about being too hard right and the like and that’s what caused those losses for him that year’s midterms. So even then, this establishment creature was out there with his hopeless RINOisms, even though Reagan’s anti inflationary policies turned out to be the right ones to help get the economy productive again by late 1983 and certainly in 1984 and that they also basically had the Soviet Union and East Bloc on the ropes by then as well.

Says the cat that groomed America hating OCommie
Pelosi is looking tired. I think they’re wearing her down and she may not run again next year.
In chess this is called zugzwang. Dems are in a position where they are not imminently threatened but every available move is a losing one... and it’s their turn to play.
“...David Axelrod called President Trump a “self-hating America hater”
Coming from a self hating jew/red diaper baby.
He is correct....................
I think the headline is deceptive. Axelrod seems to be saying this is a ploy by the “America-hating Trump” that will fail.
Slimebag Axelrod is sweating,
Axelrod is lying (of course). He is grossly distorting the remarks being made by the squad - they use phrases like "America is rotten", etc. That is not identifying problems - it is calling for throwing the whole country in the trash bin and starting over.
President Trump is being careful to aim his remarks against their behavior. The dems are mad because they have to defend indefensible, voluntary behavior from the four.
Will you be executed along with the other cabal members?
