I think Axelrod coming out publicly in ways that are negative toward Clinton, signals that, as you said, something is up.

I've got my opinions about what some major players in DC really think about the Clintons. I have no proof, but I get the sense that the Clintons (especially Hillary) are the bullies that people just tolerate and go along with--as we slide deeper into corruption and the subversion of our democracy.

Then along comes Bernie. Axelrod (and people connected to Axelrod) see that Bernie is the real deal; and they also experienced the wrath of the Clinton campaign machine firsthand. Don't think they've forgotten that. I think those scars run deep.

Like all bullies, all it takes is for everyone around them to decide, "No more."

Who this endorser (or possibly it's more than one person) is/are remains to be seen.

However, I agree with you that something is up. First Biden, then Axelrod. So telling that Biden came out and said those things and then had to walk them back. The walk back was half-assed and you could tell it was under duress. Of course, the "inevitable one" made a phone call, probably said a few choice words and demanded that he walk it back.

We'll have to see, but I think more than a few people are done with her nonsense.
