David Axelrod: “I would say about Donald Trump that this has been the summer of Trump. He's eclipsed the entire Republican field.”

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

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