I don't believe they have the balls to switch out this late, but the lack of media access to Kamala is really strange.

David Axelrod is basically Obama’s mouthpiece. Whatever he says is pre-approved by Obama to get out into the media.


There is truth to this, but Axelrod is a uniquely competent talking head who actually said things that are valuable and has consistently good insights and takes on politics

I agree w/ your assessment of MSNBC. I came here to correct him as well re: the age of. MSNBC viewers, but turns out he's more correct than I thought. Know there are differences between median and average, but obviously MSNBC's viewer ship is much older than I would've guessed. Could it be the younger one are getting their news from sources other than tv?

From a WSJ article:
quote:

Among cable channels, the median age for TNT and Bravo viewers is 56, for HGTV it is 66, and even the once-youthful MTV's median-age viewer is 51, according to Nielsen data. The cable news audience is even older, with MSNBC's median age at 70, Fox News's at 69 and CNN's, 67.

overall, I don't believe younger generations are watching ANY cable news channel.

All I can say, my 82 year old parents cannot get enough MNSBC into their brains fast enough. They watch that cesspool 15 hours a day, which is every waking hour.

David Axelrod and Barry Hussein clearly don't like Harris to be out there telling the truth.

And it is the truth, despite all the people falling for the poll manipulation.

And one would think an honest media would be jumping up and down throwing a tantrum seeking access. Instead they just ignore it, scrub her past, sing her praises, bash Trump, and feed the contagion with fake polls showing her up bigly. And it might be working. But Axelrad’s comments give me a glimmer of hope.

These are some quotes I could find from that segment....

quote:




“I think there’s a there’s a justifiable sense of concern in his camp that this thing could get away from him,” Axelrod said. “It may be their race to lose but it’s a race so it could be lost, which is something they didn’t feel when they left that convention in Milwaukee.

Dean noted Harris could portray herself as a prosecutor on a debate stage contrasted against Trump – who was convicted of 34 felonies in New York earlier this year – should the two agree to a debate.

Axelrod pointed out that Trump is also now the older candidate and that while polling shows things are tight, Democrats would be wise to taper their expectations. Axelrod said:

Look, I mean, there’s a lot of irrational exuberance on the side of on the Democratic side of the aisle right now, because there was despair for some period of time about what the November was gonna look like. Now people feel like there’s a chance. But it’s absolutely Trump’s race to lose right now. He is ahead. and he is ahead in most of the battleground states. They’re close, they can be won by either candidate. Axelrod concluded, “I think it’s a wide-open race but Trump has the advantage right now and everybody should be sober about that on the Democratic side.”

I found nothing about internal polls. It doesn't sound like he's as gloomy for Harris as the op makes it sound.

I love the Kamala hype. She’s an idiot and people like her less than Hillary. She’s going to fall hard.

What he's saying is that it's now a race rather than a Trump runaway. It's not nearly the good news the Twitter dope posted in the OP suggested.

David Axelrod was just on CNN and said Trumps up in every swing state and Kamala’s internals are not that much better than Bidens

Preposterous!

I have recently been absolutely assured by WaPo, NYT, XiNN, ABXi, Faux News, MSDNC, XiBS and NBXi that Harris now has a COMMANDING lead over Trump, and he might as well just give up.

You need to immediately stop spreading this non-MSM-narrative-control-apparatus disinformation and nonsense! I suspect you have ties to Russia and white supremacists!

The 'big steal' is in - and they are just setting up 'talking points' for responding to the uprising that will ensue.
