David Axelrod, the chief strategist who guided President Obama into the White House, offered a blunt assessment of Hillary Clinton’s likely 2016 presidential campaign, saying she needs to “get out of the cocoon of inevitability,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Axelrod: “Tactics have to follow strategy. I think the danger for Secretary Clinton is that, as was the case in 2007, her candidacy is out in front of the rationale for it.”
