Ted Cruz’s campaign manager reportedly wants to be … Trump’s new political director

What do you think, fellow Cruzers (or ex-Cruzers in my case)? Good news or bad?

You could make the case that Trump owes him the job. It was Jeff Roe, remember, who handed Team Cruz’s internal polling data to Team Trump before the New Hampshire primary in order to help Trump win there. Roe and Cruz thought Trump would be an easier opponent in South Carolina than, say, Marco Rubio would be, so they did what they could to facilitate Trump’s stepping-stone victory in NH. Clearly that’s the sort of fancy strategizin’ Trump should want in a new political director for his presidency.

Jeff Roe, a prominent Republican Party strategist who managed Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign, has been seeking a job in the Trump administration – possibly as political director, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Roe, a hard-charging, Missouri-based operative who has also worked for a number of congressional Republicans, was spotted in Trump Tower on Wednesday. Several of his friends said that in recent weeks he had expressed serious interest in joining Trump’s team, and two sources close to the transition said that Roe had embarked on an aggressive push for the political director job.

I’ll just bet he does! Jeff Roe is a frickin’ rat. And his political instincts suck, just look at the terrible performance of his vaunted “Swing Counties” poll.

Screw him.

No, she managed the Keep the Promise PACs which were the Mercer money that also came over with Kellyanne and the Breitbart gang to the Trump team.

Isn’t he a r.e.a.l. scum bag?

What part did he play in releasing nude pictures of Melania Trump during the primaries?

He didn’t do such a good job directing Tedly, did he?

Ignoring his lack of support for Trump... the guy has NO political sense.
He will be very, very lucky to keep his Senate seat in 2018

Trump ought to ask Kellyanne if he has any decent chops. Most likely, she knows him best.

There’s a war story making the rounds that after the Iowa primary caucuses Jeff Roe called Corey Lewandowski and gave him some sage advice about what Roe was seeing in New Hampshire polls.

The Cruz campaign had decided not to compete in NH but wanted Trump to slow Rubio’s roll there.

Apparently the Trump campaign was persuaded to change its messaging there from negative to positive based on Roe’s advice and got a good result.

Roe is a sharp guy so it would not surprise me if he goes to work for Trump.

But those emails were sent out ONLY after Ted and his lovely wife Galactica prayed all night! Only when God had instructed them to ask for more money!

Stabby and Kreepy Kaine aren’t the only clowns in town. Now we have Jolly Jeff too.

Good thing those clown cars hold a LOT of passengers.
