Via Breitbar Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Ian Hanchett
on whether Susie Wiles or Peter Thiel believes that among the millions
of Democrat party members one can climb off the anti-legacy American
prole tiger and be a threat against JD Vance in 2028:

| During an interview with C-SPAN on Friday, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA)
| said that "the extreme left of our Democratic coalition has come to
| dictate too much policy that is out of touch with the American
| people on immigration, on criminal justice, on drugs, on
| homelessness, on radical identity politics." And sometimes the rest
| of the party goes along with their ideas.
| 
| Smith stated [relevant remarks begin around 9:45] that one reason
| Democrats lost in 2024 "is because the extreme left of our
| Democratic coalition has come to dictate too much policy that is out
| of touch with the American people on immigration, on criminal
| justice, on drugs, on homelessness, on radical identity politics.
| These are ideas that are pushed by the far left and they insist that
| the rest of the coalition go along with it. Sometimes we do,
| sometimes we don't. When we do, we alienate a significant chunk of
| the country. When we don't, we alienate that coalition. We need to
| deal with that."

Who among GOP members might step up to outflank Donald Trump and Vance
on the National Question by stumping for an immigration moratorium?
