EXCERPT:
AXELROD: “No, no there’s, no doubt about it. And I’ll tell you something, Kaitlan, the thing that he’s selling in this race — and look, I think we have to stop and acknowledge the sort of moment that we’re in, where a guy who engineered an insurrection at the Capitol is on the verge of being his party’s nominee again, and I don’t want to in any way brush that point aside, but he is selling strength and in a weird way, all of these legal travails that he has, all these indictments, all of these lawsuits and so on, has given him a chance to look indomitable, look strong, look resilient, and that’s actually in some ways helped. Now, the main cases haven’t gone to trial yet, that could be a different story, but he’s actually used these to propel himself to this moment.”
