Axelrod: Dems are unprepared to wage meme war against Trump

Axelrod said Democrats are in “uncharted waters” when it comes to responding to Trump’s use of the new generation of social media. “You have a president who is going to be live tweeting the opposite party’s primary — you better believe when anything happens in the Democratic race, he will have a comment. He will advance a meme like this and Democrats are going to have to figure out how to deal with it.”

“Elizabeth Warren got into the back and forth on the Pocahontas thing,” he explained. “And what she learned, I think, is that engaging in a long back and forth with him is what he wants. It’s a tricky, tricky path to navigate.”
