    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: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/01/04/dem-rep-smith-our-extreme-dictates-too-much-policy-on-immigration-crime-radical-identity-politics/>
    | 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?
