VDare's Washington Watcher II on whether Susie Wiles worries that
Ken Griffin, Lachlan Murdoch and David Sacks will allow Ron
DeSantis to seize and hold the high ground on the National Question
from Donald Trump: <URL:

| No one can deny DeSantis his achievements or that his campaign
| message hit many of the right notes. But caveat emptor is the order
| of the day. DeSantis is most likely campaigning on immigration
| patriotism because he knows it appeals to voters, not out of genuine
| conviction. The governor is a politician. Unlike other Republicans,
| he has a much better grasp of what voters care about. Of course,
| it's a good sign that standard Republicans are adopting America
| First policies, for it portends the party's future. But someone as
| political as DeSantis might abandon those positions if the political
| winds change. DeSantis has already shown he will suppress free
| speech and not enforce immigration law if influential lobbies tell
| him to do so. That should give immigration patriots pause about a
| possible DeSantis presidency.
Is a one-term Trump administration more or less likely than a
two-term DeSantis administration to implement an immigration
moratorium?
