David Axelrod: “Well, it's obviously big for Jeff Sessions. It impugns him in a way at a time, as you point out, that is very, very…”

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

So the man remained, passed out in the blazing noon sun. I guess that’s how the City of Chicago deals with such situations.

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