WOW: David Axelrod’s take on Trump and Stormy Daniels might surprise you

Posted at 7:02 pm on January 23, 2018 by Sarah D.

Not that anyone was asking for his opinion on the alleged affair between Donald Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels, but David Axelrod’s giving it anyway:

In the big scheme of things, I can't bring myself to care about the Stormy Daniels story

Huh. Who saw that coming?

David Axelrod and Jerry Falwell Jr., united at last. https://t.co/anh8csZhiq

Needless to say, he’s getting plenty of pushback for that:

ARE YOU SERIOUS???? #NotNormal #Complicit

For the love of Forbes magazine David…

That's a shame, because it means that you've been worn down to accept Trump's "new normal." Take this test: ask yourself what would have happened if it was revealed a year into Obama's presidency that he slept with and paid off a porn star a month before the election.

I understand what you're saying, but looked at in the context of what it says about Trump's integrity, duplicity, vulnerability to blackmail, etc., it's significant. Plus, if you let it NOT be a big story, think how far you've let Trump move the bar since the days of Gary Hart.

Is that how low Trump has pushed the bar? This would, and should be conduct disqualifying for anyone else.

You should. The actual details are irrelevant, but it opens the door for behavior that could be used to blackmail POTUS, and that is something we should all be worried about.

Creeping normality of the utterly unacceptable. The most damaging thing to our democracy.

Really? It’s a sad day that a story like this about a US President is so “Ho hum”. Can’t imagine if it was Obama it would not be a top story but that #whiteprivilege is real.

Nooooo we can’t let Trump numb us to this kind madness. It’s not right

well you better work on that then, bc you need to care- it ALL plays into his level of fitness for office & none of it can be dismissed or normalized- we are all weary but must not become numb or inured

You’ve got to care. We can’t keep lowering the bar.

In the really big scheme of things, it normalizes a national ethos that is devoid of morals, ethics, and care for one another. We are on a slippery slope from which we never return. We have to care.

This is a reason why the Left continues to lose to the Right. No appetite to use every opportunity to destroy the facists currently in power. This should be a talking point for forever. I would not want Axelrod running any campaigns in a post Obama U.S.A.
