I saw that - in a sense I thought both were right. Santorum framed it as ideal - it's not that, but it will give Trump a narrative that he will no doubt use - and it may to be his won 2020 advantage given how electorates swing back and forth.
Axelrod was also right that it will have material impacts on the presidency that will be detrimental. His point about governors was bang on.
