Axelrod: Sanders Could Do Well At Start But Clinton Will Get Nod
Via Chicago Tribune:
“Former Obama White House political strategist David Axelrod said Friday that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders could do well in the first two Democratic presidential contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, but it won’t keep Hillary Rodham Clinton from winning the nomination.
On the Republican side, Axelrod said he believes center-right voters will ultimately look to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz could inherit voters now backing businessman Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson.
Speaking to more than 100 people about the 2016 race at an event hosted by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform at the downtown University Club of Chicago, Axelrod stressed the importance of authenticity from candidates in both parties, noting that it was a key to the success of President Barack Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush.”
