Axelrod: If Election Were Held Today, It May Well Be for Trump

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
David Urban, Ashley Allison, and David Axelrod and Alyssa Farah Griffin, David Axelrod how encourage should Democrats be? Is there a danger of them actually being kind of too euphoric?
>> Yeah, I‘ve been talking about this for some time. Look she has made extraordinary progress. We were all in Milwaukee a month ago and there was euphoria there and a sense that this race was over, that they were going to win by a landslide, perhaps sweeping big majorities in the house and Senate and things have changed dramatically. But this is still a very competitive race if the election were today, I‘m not sure who would win and I think it may well be President Trump because it‘s an Electoral College fight. And in those battleground states, we were looking at national numbers, right at the top of this program. That‘s I mean, it‘s misleading.
>> I‘ve said and I‘ve said several times. Hear that for Democrat to win those battleground states, they have to have a significant lead in the Electoral College. Remember, Joe Biden won by 7 million votes nationally, nationally last time, and a margin of 45,000 votes or 44,000 votes in the three closest battleground states combined. So she‘s right be telling people, it‘s good to be enthusiastic, that enthusiasm is really, really important for the Democratic Party. But you have to turn that into energetic action in order to win the election. I think that‘s going to be part of what you hear here.
