2. Good interview. I think Axelrod has had a bias against Bernie.

I think David was respectful even when attempting expose what he perceives to be Bernie's weakness's.
I also think Bernie showed he can pick up quickly on attempts by others to ambush him.
I was very impressed with Bernie, I also think Mr. Axelrod whether he will admit it or not, will walk away from his chat with Bernie with a new found respect for Bernie as a man of conviction and character.
I grow more impressed with Bernie as these interviews grow more serious.
I think Axelrod was on a fact finding mission to gather info to aid another campaign later for debate prep possibly. I think Bernie has and will continue to make them nervous.

3. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only edition of the "AXE" podcast

he was definitely probing for weakness.

4. Bernie is amazing!

Maybe he converted David Axelrod.

7. Mr. Axelrod is implying that single payer doesn't have the support of the American people.

My understanding is there is a small majority of Americans in support of single payer. But this polling depends entirely on how the question is asked. We are fully aware how they ask these questions in push polls. You will seldom be polled about single payer where the question is not framed in such a way as to push for a certain result.

There is one thing I do not need to be polled about. If the American people actually knew what single payer universal heath care was about they would be overwhelmingly in favor of it.

That is why, even after all the nonsense we witnessed leading up to the ACA, we have still never had a serious discussion about single payer. They, TPTB, do not want the American people to hear about single payer!

So, Mr. Axelrod, you are still a weasel after all.

8. Early on, Axelrod likened Bernie to a "fling." I don't trust him. nt
