Axelrod on Trump’s Voter Fraud Claim: ‘This Is a Hissy Fit in Search of a Scandal’

‘There is real danger to our democracy when he takes that kind of posture’

RUSH EXCERPT:
AXELROD: "Yeah, let's be clear. This isn't a strategy. This is a hissy fit in search of a scandal. This president clearly is disturbed by the notion that he lost the popular vote by 3 million. We all know Donald Trump by now. He's all about rating, he's all about numbers. He lost the popular vote by 3 million and he is searching for a rationale for that to try and erase that deficit. And, so, he's lit on this and now his aides have tried to clean up after him by suggesting this is about the integrity of the entire system, not about the 2016 election. But the integrity of the system is undermined when the president of the United States, without evidence, suggests massive fraud and there is real danger to our democracy when he takes that kind of posture."
