Rove and Axelrod

Anyone see the bit about Axelrod and Rove teaming up. Axelrod said he had become "close friends" with Rove over the years.

Words escape me.

That is beyond me. So he now trusts Rove? That would be my criteria for a friendship. BSdetect Nov 2018 #1

Quite honestly, I was never a big Axelrod fan. For me it is kind of affirming of my observations. I do wonder how the dinners with Michele will play out in the future.

Axelrod has been a snake in the grass for a very long time.

Also, don't forget that Rove and Donna Brazile are long time buddies.

I had to turn the radio off. I think Rove is trying to rehabilitate his reputation, which has sufffered massive damage over the years. I can't believe Axelrod has been taken in by this schtick.
