In reply to the discussion: Axelrod: Harris momentum leaning heavily on 'irrational exuberance' - what's his problem? [View all]
crimycarny
(1,647 posts)104. Axelrod predicted the "red tsunami" in 2022
Tweeted that he “suspects” Dems in close races in 2022 don’t want Biden campaigning for them because he would hurt their chances. Well, Biden did campaign for those in tight races and they won.
He’s always had disdain for Biden. And he’s always been wrong.

OP
If you don't recall exuberance about Dukakis, then you don't remember the polling

I definitely don't remember him complaining about exuberance for Obama, or suggesting it was irrational.

I agree with him. We don't want to peak now. We have policies to sell, but M$M both-sides everything

Yes I have but honestly...most of the polls are seriously flawed...Axlelrod is in the words of Biden a prick.

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

Complacent people don't donate, volunteer, write postcards, make phone calls, put up signs, etc.

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

Yep, the parade passed him by and he is just jealous and angry they aren't running to him

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

Axelrod is very pragmatic and he is calling out what he knows and sees. People here trashing him are

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

I am also a progressive, but we need try to appeal to whole electorate.

Don't see the "irrational" part being real... First female president warrants optimism like Obama

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

It's a catchphrase that doesn't translate well to this situation, Mr. Axelrod...

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