David Axelrod: “It is a very, very taxing difficult enterprise to try and run for president as an independent.”

Unless the economy and his numbers rebound, Republicans are going to feel less willing to follow him blindly.

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.

I think the darker interpretation of what we saw today is that they were setting up a pretext, he and the vice president for walking away from Ukraine and blaming Zelenskyy for it.

I moved on, like many others who simply ignored him.
