Count David Axelrod, one of the architects of Barack Obama’s textbook presidential campaigns, as yet another shocked political expert regarding Bernie’s magical run for president.

David Axelrod said that Bernie Sanders has shattered the expectations he had for him at the beginning of the race.

“He's proven himself to be a much more appealing candidate than I would have ever imagined,” Axelrod said about the Vermont senator in an interview with Washington D.C.’s WTOP radio.

The former adviser to President Barack Obama and manager of his campaigns said that Sanders, who is gaining in national polls on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “surprised everyone.”
