Quote of the Day
“I suspect the Trump guys are going to dump tens of millions of dollars on Harris in the next few weeks in essentially a race to define who she is because she’s not really well-defined in the public. And you remember what we did against Dole, where we defined the race at the end of ’95 and early ’96, what you saw in 2004 in March when Bush spent $100 million defining Kerry as he was getting the nomination, you saw how Obama defined Romney before his nomination was wrapped up in 2012. He who defines first defines last.”
