Also if they get DeSantis to say ‘willing workers should be free to come to US if they have an job offer.”

Kochies undermined Trump via people like Marc Short who had no enthusiasm for Trump’s agenda but whom Trump foolishly hired. Will they destroy DeSantis on the launch pad? https://t.co/KKK3r9yb6G

If Trump’s about to make a big deal out of fighting what Lind calls “gender lunacy”–see @daveweigel here https://t.co/TmkLl52ibx –does that make it impossible to have the broad coalition Lind wants? https://t.co/tMGhOMbQFW

And what does this unified Stop-The-Madness party say about immigration and the border (and would the business elites go along?) Can’t just leave a blank space–maybe you could before, but not during the current annual Million Migrant Surge at the border. https://t.co/UB4KNmYhIZ

As someone currently projecting all my hopes and dreams onto @RonDeSantisFL, the obvious question is whether he could pull something like Lind’s coalition together. Specifically, is he free of GWBush-era foreign policy utopianism? Somebody please check https://t.co/cz9CVzvF0c

Clear, well structured essay. But can you get elected as a broad, unified anti-woke defensive coalition without a unified affirmative plan for, eg, “raising wages and increasing economic security for all”? https://t.co/cz9CVzvF0c
