Axelrod on Clinton’s Speech: ‘Thursday Was Probably Her Best Day in the Whole Campaign’

AXELROD: "Well, I thought it was imprudent when she made  first comment because, obviously, you can`t - you can`t deal with Donald Trump by ignoring him. He insists that you not ignore him. And, you know, one of mistakes Republicans made in the primaries was, they didn`t take him on vigorously from the start. She clearly can`t make that mistake. And I think Thursday was probably her best day in the whole campaign. First of all, that`s her event, standing in front of those flags, giving a very sober speech, as she did, is what she feels comfortable with. But, secondly, it was a very lacerating speech and it provoked a kind of response that almost - almost reinforced the point she was trying to make, which is, temperamentally, Donald Trump isn`t suited for  presidency. And for Trump, the challenge is, can he change in any way and - and - and demonstrate to people that he has that element of discipline that`s necessary when you`re in a job that involves mortal power."
