Former Obama chief strategist David Axelrod said he attended a focus group with Democratic voters in Chicago on Friday, describing the gathering as "chilling" because impeachment "didn't come up" until more than an hour into the session despite it taking place amid the Senate trial of President Trump.
Axelrod, who serves as a political analyst on CNN, shared about his experience during an interview with network anchor Erin Burnett on "OutFront" on Friday night, as Democratic House impeachment managers made their final arguments in the trial before White House lawyers begin their defense of the president on Saturday.
"I was in a focus group this morning for the Institute for Politics here at the University of Chicago with some Chicago Democratic voters, and it was chilling to hear them talk about this," Axelrod said. "Because impeachment didn’t come up, no one volunteered it, for 80 minutes into the focus group, and we’re right in the middle of the trial."
"When it came up, they said, you know, it's terrible what he did, the case has been proven, but we know how it's going to turn out," Axelrod continued. "So we're not really that interested, we're ready to move on."

NOTHING, absolutely nothing, has been proven by the Party of Lies.
To be fair, they have proven time and time again that they are incompetent.
“....it’s terrible what he did....”
I agree, Trump shoulda pushed much harder for corruption investigations in the Ukraine regarding the misuse of Federal US aid buck$.
I wonder if Axelrod still entertains high school boys at his place.

They have lost their grip
Hollywood is putting out bad quality but ticket sales/attendance is lowest in 25 years
Trump versus Schiff
No ones watching. It’s ugly -the setting, the story and the Characters- and they know the outcome.

This is why we watch sports live. people aren’t interested in a game when they know the outcome. Seems even Democrat voters have figured this out. The media no so much or they just hyping it for ratings that don’t seem to be happening
But, but, that’s all CNN talks about most of the day! Just randomly curious how long it took for LGBT teaching in kindergarten to come up... First hour? Never? Seems like liberals also treat that as critical too.
What if they gave an Impeachment, and nobody came.
For once we can use the passive, complacent laziness of the American people to our advantage. We used to say “Where’s the outrage?”(Dole) about Clinton crimes. Answer: “Did you hear what video game’s going to be delayed a couple of months?”
Now let them say “Trump’s still in there. We have to get used to it. Did you guess the ending on the Marvel sequel? I knew it had to be something like that.”
Or worse, they came but wore googly eye glasses along with My Pillow and caught some zzzzs while Democrat blowhards droned on and on.
DNCNN = CPUSA (Commies) = NAZI (Socialists)
...just to name a few brand names of leftism
“This is why we watch sports live.”
I know what you mean....BUT I must admit as a NY Giant fan (I know, I know) I watch their Super Bowl victories over the NE Patriots probably once a yr after the season is over. Sure I know the outcome but since I’m an old guy I can’t recall all the plays and so I enjoy the game again and again.
Kinda like watching a favorite movie over and over again.
The alt left are dead enders.
The good stuff might be revealed during the next 24 hours by VSGPT’s defense team at the Senate hearing
Don’t Hellary is coming to save the day! (Queue Mighty Mouse theme song!)
If anyone thinks she isn’t go watch the promo for Hillary on Hula. It will take a strong stomach & the ability to willfully suspend reality (Willful suspension of reality is what Rats do every day!)
If she’s not running then why this ?
What about the Buffalo game where they were all holding hands and “wide right”? The look on Marv Levy’s face is priceless.
Garble!!
Should be

Come to think of it I did a similar thing when my team won the Superbowl much less stressful. When your team is playing 4 all the marbles it’s agonizing to be a fan I’ve found
Axelrod was the lone democrat invited to the Romney-Rubio-McConnell-(and other GOP-e) planning meeting in Jackson Hole back in 2014.
I remember it as the first thing that hit me is “Why is he there?”
I suspect a deal was cut to get Jeb as the nominee.
