Republican strategist and former Michigan GOP executive director Jason Roe, who was forced to resign in 2021 for the thoughtcrime of not believing the 2020 election was stolen, tells Politico he has “always felt Labor Day was going to be about the time the Kamala sugar high starts burning off.”
“It’s gone on for too long,” Roe continued, as if he was talking about a bunch of noisy teenagers drinking beer and smashing bottles in a parking lot and if they don’t break it up and go home soon he’s going to call their parents to come pick them up. “There’s not a lot more left to propel it,” he said, like he thinks they’re running out of beer and the battery’s low on their Bluetooth speaker.
Roe says although Harris over the last few week benefitted from being “a little bit undefined,” MAGA efforts to highlight her shifting policy positions mean she’s now “going to get a little definition.” We were to understand that The Defining™ was over. For all the wishcast-y confidence he exuded, Roe concludes the debate “may be one of the few opportunities that [Trump] can put her on defense.”
