Axelrod Warns: Trump Leading in Virus Crisis Will Help in Election
newsbusters.org ^ | March 18, 2020

Posted on 03/18/2020 1:33:41 AM PDT by Helicondelta

CNN senior political commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod took time out of their Democratic primary night coverage to warn his colleagues not sleep on how the President was handling the situation, because he could ride it to victory in November.

Despite his big Super Tuesday wins that evening, Axelrod seemed concerned for former Vice President Joe Biden’s chances against a President constantly on TV, leading the nation through the storm.

That’s it?

Is it a slow news day?

It’s weird, but Axelrod is more honest about the reality of the situation than some “Never Trump conservatives” who have written the president’s political obituary on the basis of this virus. In defiance of all facts and logic, there are NeverTrumpers out there claiming that:
(1) the outbreak is somehow Trump’s fault, despite the fact that this is a worldwide crisis and Trump sure as hell can’t be blamed for what’s going on in China, Iran, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, UK, etc.; and
(2) Poor dementia-suffering Joe Biden is somehow this paragon of competence who’d be doing a better job.

I see McAuliffe’s mug.

I’d picked him to lead the ticket in a brokered Dem convention.

Presidents always get blamed for what happens during their term. The great depression was not Herbert Hoover’s fault. The good economy of the 90 was not Bill Clinton’s fault. Nevertheless what was going on impacted their re-election.

The CV crisis will disappear quickly from the MSM once they determine it is...

1. Helping DT
2. Harming the open boarders meme

the American public will have to pick during this national crisis either a strong leader who is busting his hump for the country at every turn (Trump, Reagan, FDR) or a Pat Paulson dope who hasn’t a clue what planet he’s on.. it shouldn’t be close..

Survival for one’s self and family comes before politics for the vast majority of the citizens.. I think that’s where Axlerod is coming from

I think they wouldn’t mind seeing millions die, if it hurts Trump.

Yes, urban areas will be disproportionately affected.

Particularly if the virus is aerolized.

‘I think they wouldn’t mind seeing millions die, if it hurts Trump.’

yeah, except millions of people aren’t dying, and we are on the verge of shelter in place edicts...

I pray you are correct.
I think that if one projects the actions of government based on
what we’ve seen so far, they are just getting started.

What I’m hearing from my ultra left Bernie loving sisters is praise, albeit not happily, that PDJT has helped calm the public with his last few news conferences. Once the hysteria of “he lies all the time” is replaced with hard facts and echoed by the experts PDJT appears presidential and in command of the “troops”.

I think this might be viewed as PDJT’s finest hour

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

God works — answers prayers — in mysterious ways.

Exactly right. Media created virus hysteria will now be replaced with non-stop predictions of economic apocalypse (while ignoring of course the role they played in creating the poor economic numbers they’re going to be trotting out).

“Axelrod Warns: Trump Leading in Virus Crisis Will Help in Election”

Warns?? Shows the absolutely sick and vile mentality of these people.

So Axelrod is afraid that Donald Trump's expert leadership could keep Americans safe, preserve the US economy, and result in Trump's re-election? That Trump could ride the safety and prosperity of the USA to victory in November? That leading the nation through the storm magnificently and heroically could could bring Trump to triumph?

Does he wish Joe Biden were leading the nation right now?

Why does Newsbusters refer to Axlerod as news person and obama confidant and not terrorist bomber, which he is?
