David Axelrod continues to voice concerns about Biden, dismisses critics: 'I don't really give a s--t'

Biden reportedly called David Axelrod a 'pr--k' for his comments about the campaign


Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said in a recent interview that he no longer cares about whether President Biden likes him or his advice because he is worried that Biden may not win the election.

"I’m at a stage in my life where I don’t really give a s--t," Axelrod said in an interview with Politico. "I’m 68. You know, everybody in Washington sort of thinks that the most important thing is that the president likes you and that you get invited to parties and s--t like that. I’ve been to plenty of parties. I worked in the White House. That’s not the thing."

Axelrod has publicly spoken out on reports that Biden called him a "pr--k" and argued that the president has a "real problem" if he thinks he can "cheat nature."

To quote Mr. Axelrod . I don't give a sht what Axelrod says he is a political fellator.
He has made a career of it.
If he didn't do anything wrong why does he fear Trump.?

I'm always surprised about the election of Nixon in '72. By my recollection - despite what we learned about Watergate - his tenure as President was pretty good (I was just a tween at the time). As I remember - the favored nominee at the time was Edmund Muskie - followed by Humphrey - and McGovern was until late in the primary season - an also ran.

Initially, it was believed that Ted Kennedy would be the presumptive nominee, but Chappaquiddick largely ENDED any White House bid - or VP selection.

The "Canuck letter" - and Muskie's public crying over an article disparaging his wife as a drunken racist - public sentiment crashed. The primaries shifted - to Humphrey. Looked like it was going to be a replay of '68. Humphrey was, of course, tainted by his part in Vietnam, but McGovern just outmaneuvered him, especially on the West Coast.

So we ended up against what I thought was a beatable Republican who lost one election and squeezed a win by dividing the Democratic vote - and was now pitted against the most liberal Presidential candidate I think we've ever had.

Later, McGovern would shoot himself in the foot by selecting Thomas Eagleton - who kept secret the fact that he had received electroshock therapy in the 60's for depression - claiming that he supported his VP candidacy "1000%" - only to drop him nineteen days later. If you had been on the fence about McGovern - THIS put the last nail in the coffin.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Why did I bring up this little history lesson? Well, first - because one of the biggest landslides in American history defeated McGovern that fall. But for another - the Democrats seriously didn't see it coming. Like, at all.

Because I don't think enough people on the Democratic side have ANY IDEA just how much a chit show that Biden is. Now a lot can happen in a year - the economy can greatly improve - circumstances may arise that either severely harm Trump or greatly improve Biden. But I think if the election were held tomorrow, the vote would be MUCH more slanted than the polls suggest. The public isn't quite ready to embrace Trump again - except for Republicans - but they are totally willing to eighty-six Biden as fast as humanly possible. They were duped into thinking Biden was some kind of older, wise statesman, and the fact that's really a senile old doofus was hidden from many by his lack of campaigning, although us older folks REMEMBER Biden for the previous 30+ years.

They think he can win - they don't sense the desire among the electorate that JUST WANTS SOMETHING ELSE. They don't need a reason, they just need someone they think can do it.

Of Course they do not ... these people watch all the Progressive News Outlets - they would not accept the truth if someone forced them to watch alternate news sources

I do think that very many talking heads among the Democrat and former Democrat leadership are starting to mouth their views. They don't see Biden as a great choice and are openly critical of him - but certainly not enough to openly oppose his nomination. Politicians are like that - cover your bases, don't burn bridges - so they use "weasel words". They say you suck - but try to say it politely. (It's what made people like Trump - he didn't mince words, but largely because his career didn't hinge on saying the right thing).

They're biased - but not stupid. Lots of them know that Biden is beatable. Truth is, I really want Trump to win, because I think virtually all of the other candidates have too much "old school" Republican in them - the kind that makes bargains with Democrats when they become too shrill or have the power to use the press and social media to SINK them. Trump never cared about that. But the polls are showing that just about any GOP alternative can beat Biden, at this point.

What makes you think that someone who is biased cannot be stupid.

 

[herb749]

I keep saying you watch somehow a guy with 38% support will receive 51% of the vote.

No one here is saying that.

Democrat voters will bitch and whine, then vote the D no matter who it is. Look at how many times they cried about their current Democrat Mayor or Governor, then either re-elected them or elected someone twice as bad.

Biden could have 0% approval rating and still receive the vote of every single registered Democrat, and even the Democrats who are technically unaffiliated.

Chicago electing Brandon Johnson .... he does not want illegals to stop coming, he just wants FED Bucks to pay for the upkeep

Same with Eric Adams

"This Mayor sucks! She's flooding us will illegal aliens and doing nothing about rampant crime! Let's teach her a lesson by dumping her in favor of someone who lets in even MORE illegals and ignores crime even MORE!"

Nobody ever accused Democrats of being intelligent or sensible.

Well heaven forbid that Chiraq vote for the white guy.

More states are going to allow independents to vote in primaries. Mostly democrat running states who hope they vote to beat Trump.

Is it the state itself or the state party that sets an open or closed primary?

Party, which is why the GOP in Colorado said they will go with a caucus if he is removed.

That's what I thought. Which makes NH's primary odd and not really representative. Herb's comment threw me off.

Well it seems it might be more then just a party decision and depends on the state - see this.

Sounds like a mess to me.
