8. I don't think he's on Sanders' side or anything, I just think Axelrod believes he has to hit Clinton

harder than others to avoid the appearance of bias, due to his history working for Democratic campaigns. But it's just coming across as biased against Clinton, because he's not giving other candidates the same treatment.

Plus, there's history between Axelrod and Clinton going back to the 2008 primary. Of all of Obama's team, I think Axelrod has had the hardest time moving on and living in the present. Favreau, Plouffe, everyone else seems to be on the same page about electing a Democrat this year, but Axelrod seems to only be looking out for himself and his burgeoning cable-news-talking-head career.
