David Axelrod: Antibiotics Won’t Cure Clinton’s ‘Unhealthy Penchant for Privacy’

Former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod tweeted out Monday morning that antibiotics will cure Hillary Clinton‘s pneumonia, but her real liability is her “penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems.”

Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia. What's the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?

Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Pamieri responded to Axelrod’s tweet by admitting that the campaign “could have done better yesterday.” The campaign announced Sunday that Clinton’s doctor had given her a diagnosis of pneumonia on Friday.

Axelrod’s tweet made the rounds Monday morning.

I think Axelrod enjoys Twitter. https://t.co/6PBRSKzlO7

I think @davidaxelrod is going to get as many invites to the WH from either @realDonaldTrump or @HillaryClinton as I have from POTUS

Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway jumped in to affirm that voters neither like nor trust Clinton.

D-E-F-E-N-S-E.
Yet, Jen has a point: they know enough about Hillary that they don't like her, don't trust her. https://t.co/4GOedZAZao
