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

i see axeldick shaved off the stach.. must have been the hitler comparisons that got to him

[duckbutt]

The Dims think a “call for unity” is Trump dropping to his knees, kissing Dims feet, Dim’s wishes are Trump's demands and there should be no opposition from him and the Pubs......total acquiescence to to every Dim whim......

No olive branches ever, President Trump! Not after all the non-stop crap they've spewed for the last 8 years.

Is Axelrod preparing the path for whomever is controlling the democrats by this “sweet talk” of his for them to turn to Hilliary as their nominee? Tried, tested and failed!
