Axelrod: Biden in â€˜Candidate-Protection Programâ€™

David Rutz - October 28, 2019 12:45 PM

Former Obama White House adviser David Axelrod knocked Joe Biden, saying he is in the "candidate-protection program" and criticizing Biden's "bewildering" treatment of the controversy surrounding his son.

Interviewed for a new profile of the Biden campaign, Axelrod told New York magazine that the protective cocoon the former vice president's team has placed around him is a sign of weakness.

"They have him in the candidate-protection program," Axelrod said. "I don't know if you can do that. I don't know if you can get through a whole campaign that way. Either he can hack it or he can't hack it. If you're worried the candidate can hurt himself talking to a reporter, that's a bad sign."

Axelrod said there is a "sense of hanging on" in his candidacy that is troubling. Biden remains atop the majority of primary polls but has Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) close on his heels.

There's precedent for this, didn't Hitlery go something like 6 months without a press conference when she was waddling for President.

Axelrod may have a horse in this race, but two things have been plain for months:

* Biden continues to be a gaffe machine;

* His campaign folk know it well and are struggling to get his mouth under control so he can speak in public without blurting out something stupid and/or stupidly false; not very successfully.

Biden is doomed without 0bama's support. 8 years of slavish subservience and in return he gets cut off at the knees. It could hardly be more obvious that even a lightweight like 0bama can see that Biden is unfit, and I'm surprised none of his rivals have pointed that out.
