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

If Biden gave the same Speech
It would have taken six HOURS!!!!
Axelrod is a spin doctor. He is grasping at straws. It just gives the useful idiots a narrative to run with.
He and his ilk have to say something.
That’s right, Dave. Don’t let facts or reason cloud your “judgement”. We love when microcephalic leftists say outlandish things.
Axelrod aka Assholerod
Desperation.
[[Axelrod said Trump’s speech “really reminded everyone why Donald Trump is fundamentally unpopular outside this room.” ]]
Bzzzzzt Wrong- Trump’s popularity is surging! the left like axelrod just can’t handle the truth
I turned it off, too. I was proud of Trump, but I’ve heard it all before.
And Trump himself? To borrow a phrase, the thought of assassination clears the mind wonderfully.
Axelrod is one of the few adults the Demonrats have left. When he speaks, it’s the finest they have, and includes the talking points for the Party Faithful.
You could have stopped at “an hour and a half.”
I thought it was too long...I started drifting away. BUT...after what he’s been through I think he’s entitled to say whatever he wants.
MAGA!
BYW- don’t love the JD pick.But it’s what we’ve got to run with.
Do you think the democrat base watched the speech?
Maybe twice if he can remember his opponent’s name.
I’ll adjust my analysis: The first part (where he talked about his personal experience being shot) was better than an Ace-high straight flush. The second part (about the need for the country to unify), was four of a kind. The remainder was a series of full houses, flushes, straights and two pairs.
Yes!
Why? She is what she is. No sense sugar coating it!
Whistling through the graveyard.
“When did people start wearing sneakers with a suit?”
I can’t take credit for it but back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, I’d wear tennis shoes with my suit while at our GOP state conventions.
The days were long and there was a lot of walking around between delegations and meeting room. Lots of standing too.
The tennis shoes were more comfortable. I knew that I was getting an F for style grading but I was fine with it.
Axelrod is right. A lot of Democrats will now vote for POTUS Trump because those Democrats appreciate real leadership and what is best for the USA.
I think it predates the 0 years. Maybe the 80s or 90s is my guess. Not universal but I seem to recall seeing it back then.
Thank you all for your input. Helps me see the situation differently.
