In reply to the discussion: Axelrod: Harris momentum leaning heavily on 'irrational exuberance' - what's his problem? [View all]Hekate

Axelrod is a bad guy-trashed Biden daily and apparently intends to do the same to Kamala. He is no friend to Democrats

He says over and over Harris is still behind in the polls. This is flat out false.

He hates President Biden, has since he strongly encouraged Obama not to pick him as VP. He's a dog with a bone!

One would never piss on a fire that's keeping them from freezing to death so why is Axelrod trying to piss on

Fuck him. We are going into a Convention and there is nothing wrong with a little exuberance

Run full out all the way through the tape and don't get cocky should suffice.
