David Axelrod: “It would have been so great, it would have been so important for the country if he just could have risen above this one…”

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

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

I hope we’re not all complicit in assisting an unintended suicide.

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.
