    Politico's Ian Ward on whether Susie Wiles sees any hope for a GOP
    candidate for WhiteHouse.GOV to reach it withour running to Donald
    Trump's right on the National Question: <URL:https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/03/15/mr-maga-goes-to-washington-00147054>
    | But Vance's new identity as the MAGA militant has existed alongside
    | -- and, at times, served to obscure -- another influential role that
    | Vance has taken on in Washington. In certain conservative circles,
    | Vance has emerged as the standard-bearer of the "New Right," a loose
    | movement of young, edgy and elite conservatives trying to take the
    | ideological revolution that began under Trump -- including his overt
    | embrace of nationalism, his hard-line stance on immigration, his
    | vocal opposition of U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts like
    | Ukraine and his overt skepticism toward certain liberal democratic
    | principles -- in an even more radical direction. Unlike Trump's more
    | conventional Republican followers, Vance's New Right cohort see
    | Trump as merely the first step in a broader populist-nationalist
    | revolution that is already reshaping the American right -- and, if
    | they get their way, that will soon reshape America as a whole.

    Does Casey DeSantis regret that Ron was unable to secure the support
    of David McIntosh's Club for Growth to seize the high right ground
    by using Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM campaign platform to stump for
    an immigration moratorium?

    "The Freedom Caucus wanted to oust Paul Ryan in 2017 and it was
    Trump's endorsement that saved him. He spent the next 2 years
    protecting tax loopholes for Wall Street, plotting an amnesty, and
    pushing the most unpopular Republican legislative agenda ever." -
