his candidacy is not Indestructable ….No ones candidacy is "Indestructable" ..David Axelrod told Don Lemon that Bernie's campaign in Iowa is " indestructible" ...His campaign in Iowa is really strong ...His ground game there is through the roof, but it is not "Indestructable " ...I am just trying to keep it real … Bernie's ground game in NV is also very good … Th NV teacher's union endorsement of Bernie announced today is really good news - particularly in a Caucus State ….Sadly , I'm expecting The Culinary Union to endorse Joe ...They already have excellent Health Insurance , and don't want to shake up the current system ….That endorsement is the " Big Get " :in NV politics ….

I agree, no candidacy is indestructible. They all have vulnerabilities. That is why I let most of what TV personalities and pundits say, go in one ear and out the other. Actually I am surprised that came from David Axelrod, someone who should know better. There are so many better adjectives he could have used.

His name is Edward Luce and he is writing for the Financial Times.

Since you like the sound of his work, here is another one for you.

How America’s far-left could help re-elect Donald Trump - Same author being discussed in the op.

Financial Times

It's called writing anything for a buck.

Some of his other headlines.

"Is Bloomberg the billionaire we need?"

"The Democrats are badly in need of a messiah."

"The saga of Ivanka's stolen jewelry."

"Pelosi's attempt to chew gum and walk with Trump."

"The weakness of the Democratic field"

"Bolton’s firing ends Trump’s hawkish phase"
