Axelrod: Sanders ‘Is Not Growing’ and That’s ‘a Big Concern’
Breitbart ^ | 03/03/2020 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 03/04/2020 5:53:46 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

During CNN’s Super Tuesday coverage, CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “is not growing” and “not building on what he did before, and that would be a big concern.”

Axelrod said, “[T]he last thing I just want to say about Bernie Sanders is, I would be concerned, and I’ve been saying this every single contest. Maine maybe — have been a false positive, but he didn’t perform — he underperformed in Iowa. He underperformed in New Hampshire. You know, he won 86% of the vote in Vermont against Hillary Clinton in 2016. He’s getting 57% tonight. He didn’t — he won every delegate in Vermont. And you go state by state, he won 35% in Virginia. He’s getting 23, 24% tonight. Bernie Sanders is not growing here. He is not building on what he did before, and that would be a big concern.”

We aren’t Communists, Dave.

Everyone wants to be millionaires and billionaires, Dave, and we do not want gulags and ghettos, surprisingly.

Bernie needs to catch fire again. We need as close to repeat of the 1968 Democrat Convention as we can get. The best scenario is for Bernie to have the most delegates on the first ballot, and for the DNC to take it away from him on the second. Republicans, do not vote for Biden in the Dem primaries to show how you are “against socialism”. Let the Dems implode. They are rallying hard to Biden. It needs to be a total clown show this summer. We need Dementia Joe AND Antifa/BLM rioting.

I’m pretty sure Bernie will be the nominee.
In all seriousness, Joe is not mentally well.
He was bad enough when he was in the back of the pack.
Now that he s front and center his mental problems will be revealed more each day.

do not vote for Biden in the Dem primaries

Since our President has no challengers, next week I'll ask for the CommiecRAT ballot.

I'll write in Donald J Trump.

I think they will do whatever it takes to keep Bernie from being the nominee. At least that’s what I hope. They already tried to cheat him in Iowa. There was probably quite a bit in the way of shenanigans yesterday, too. If Warren drops out, Bernie probably benefits. My guess is that the money will keep her in as long as possible. The media (including Fox News) is over the top for Biden. The entire Democrat apparatus is flexing. Republicans need to run good candidates for the House and help the Dems rip into each other.

When will Bernie start bringing up Biden’s obvious mental health issues? I doubt he will do it. Most Democrats have no idea that Biden says and does all of this weird stuff.

That is a good idea. Writing in Trump in Dem primaries would be a great flex in open primaries if it caught on.

Sanders will never grow, that’s his issue, and always has been his issue.. he could get some of Warren’s folks if and when she drops out, but that’s about it.

And then, with a click of her fingers, Hillary Clinton transformed from an old white woman in poor health to an old white dude in failing health and screwed Bernie all over again.

Not growing?

Sanders is a cancer, and a more aggressive one than most in the Democratic Party.

“I’m pretty sure Bernie will be the nominee.“

I don’t think so. The DNC/Obongo’s first goal is to stop Bernie. They got 2 people to pull out the day before S Tuesday. They had Warren stay in to suck Bernie votes so Joe almost ran the table yesterday. I don’t know what the end game is because Joe is a walking train wreck and the DNC knows it. But for now stopping Bernie is all that matters

Going forward, every Biden speech, statement, comment or utterance will be read from a prepared script. No more taking any chances with Biden “winging” it off the cuff. Much too risky.

Even the debates will have to be choreographed with Biden’s “answers” predetermined and written out for Joe to read.

The DNC is in charge, and they are fully aware they have to be in total control going forward. Handling Joe’s dementia problems is going to prove to be a real challenge.

Get out the popcorn.

Biden is exhibiting widespread frontal release signs and organicity, He is clearly becoming demented, and his family need to be gently, but firmly, guiding him to a simpler existence. Keeping him in the campaign is just cruel

Agreed. She cost him Maine, Minnesota and Massachusetts.

DNC won't let that happen. They have something up their sleeve and that includes denying Bernie the nomination. Count on it.

I would never have predicted the Warren would be the key to this whole mess. She is taking Bernie’s rightful voters from him, and the longer she stays in, the worse it gets for Bernie.

Too bad. We are now watching a death match among midgets.

If Bloomberg had been at all likable he might have represented a threat to Trump. But Bernie vs. Biden is the Republican dream team. All we need is for Biden to keep his foot out of his mouth until after the convention. A vigorous campaign will bring his dementia to the fore.
