Axelrod: Trump speech ‘first good thing that’s happened to Democrats’ in weeks
The Hill ^ | 07/19/2024 | TARA SUTER

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said early Friday morning that former President Trump’s speech at the Republican National Committee (RNC) was “the first good thing that’s happened to Democrats in three weeks.”

“People, I’m sure, responded very positively to his appeals to unity that were written on the teleprompter, and then he just ripped the bejesus out of everybody… all his political enemies and so on,” Axelrod, also a former Obama adviser said on CNN.

“I have to tell you… Chris Wallace said this,” Axelrod said. “This is the first good thing that’s happened to Democrats in the last three weeks.”

Axelrod said Trump’s speech “really reminded everyone why Donald Trump is fundamentally unpopular outside this room.”

Trump formally accepted his party’s presidential nomination Thursday via a long and rambling speech. It went over an hour and a half, resulting in it being the longest acceptance speech by a major party candidate

But notice the difference: Biden can dissemble right before our eyes, and that’s fine. But, if Trump doesn’t hit a home run, that’s to be criticized.

Except that with that speech, President Trump did hit a home-run and Axelrod is dissembling because he does not want anyone to know how much he and other Democrats are sweating!

I’ve always thought he was off the rails.

You are WAY over-thinking this. Trump didn’t need to attack Biden directly, Biden’s chaotic problems are clear enough to everyone. Just the fact that he’s putting out that he might pull out of the race highlights his inadequacy in stark relief. There is NO good side to this for Democrats regardless of the schemes they dream up. They have chaos now, and they’ll continue to have chaos throughout this cycle.

And Axelrod is both a fool and an idiot. Without Soros money, he’d be flipping burgers at Burger King.

If Biden gave the same speech Axelrod would be clapping like a trained seal“

Yes he would but he is right about the speech. It was not Trump’s best but he was shot less than a week ago. He had to along with the unity BS. I doubt the speech itself will have much impact either way.

When did people start wearing sneakers with a suit? Is that something that started in the Obama era?

Trump’s speech was great! And it was NOT bombastic at all! Filled with grace and humility. What? They didn’t want him to mention all their colossal failures? Too bad!

Wrong. People fell asleep after they heard his account of the shooting, which was the best part. Speech was too long. Started too late. His tone was subdued.

No one is undecided at this point. After Assassin everyone decided.

You are certain to vote for Trump or the Democrat. Or you are certain to stay on the sofa.

Biden could be dead in a wheelchair, Jill holding up his arm. Trump could say the worst imaginable.

Trump voters are so deeply rooted and vine like attached with him and one another.

They have the jail card left to play. Will NY put Trump in jail?

I shut it off after 20 min. That wasn’t a speech … i don’t know what that was. Maybe he’s on painkillers.
