David Axelrod: “I thought it was telling by the way that Trump started pulling away a little. He has gone from 'My Kevin' to 'Maybe…”

I think there's a lot of concern among Republican officeholders. Governor Pawlenty could speak more readily to this than me.

I think Democrats would be very foolish to go all Marjorie Taylor Greene here and WWE stuff and so on. I think they should respond. But I don't think they should, you know, heckle and do the kinds of things that some have talked about.

There's no doubt about that. But I also want to say this. You know, all presidents sort of feed off of perceptions of the person who came before and they want to position against what people found lacking in the person that came before.

I mean, he's president of the United States. He was elected. They should be there.
