    Pedro Gonzalez for American Mind on whether Donald Trump regrets
    taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question
    on the campaign stump against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://americanmind.org/features/florida-versus-davos/what-i-saw-at-natcon/>
    | John O'Sullivan, too, has become a familiar face at the conference.
    | O'Sullivan served as editor of National Review until 1997. He would
    | later recall tiptoeing soon-to-be-editor Peter Brimelow's 1992 cover
    | story for the magazine--"Time To Rethink Immigration?"--past the
    | skepticism of William F. Buckley. But in 1997, Buckley abruptly
    | removed O'Sullivan as editor. A little while later, the Wall Street
    | Journal, which has long supported open borders, celebrated that
    | "National Review has stopped stridently claiming opposition to
    | immigration as a conservative cause." If that seems odd, it's worth
    | remembering that before his magazine embraced immigration as a
    | salient issue in 1992, Buckley reportedly fumed at Chronicles for
    | dedicating an entire issue to the subject in 1989, threatening to
    | "excrete" its paleoconservatives from the conservative movement.

    Does Bill Stepien fear Ron DeSantis will overtake Trump from the
    right?
