Politico's Ian Ward on whether Donald Trump will attempt to enlist
Peter Thiel's VP JD VAnce to serve as Trump's Deputy Chief Sales
Critter for Trump's bipartisan, comprehensive, merit-based,
immigration reform legislative legacy authored by the Cheap Labor
Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's House.GOV and John Thune's
Senate.GOV and whether Thiel will allow Vance to commit political
suicide:

| Vance's silence has been especially conspicuous considering his
| unique position in the skirmish. A former Silicon Valley venture
| capitalist who rose to national prominence as the face of MAGA's
| populist-nationalist wing, Vance sits at the center of the slow-
| simmering conflict that has been brewing between the so-called tech
| right -- led by figures like Elon Musk and venture capitalist Marc
| Andreessen -- and the populist right, championed by MAGA stalwarts
| like Steve Bannon. Yet even as the two leading factions of the Trump
| coalition have repeatedly clashed in recent months -- over the Trump
| administration's approach to immigration restrictions, tax policy,
| artificial intelligence and more -- Vance has stayed studiously
| quiet.

Does Susie Wiles foresee a GOP.COM striver for WhiteHouse.GOV finding
a patron among America's 800+ billionaires willing to fund a
barnstorming campaign to outflank Trump-Vance with an immigration
moratorium stump speech?
