UWD is all bark and no bite, putting aside their fundraising for a second, how much influence do you really think that they have with the Democratic Party? I would say little, if any at all. The Democratic party understands that protecting Dreamers is popular with their base, if UWD wants to profit from that, then so be it, but let's not pretend that the tail is wagging the dog on this one. Any influence from UWD is further diluted by the fact that there are 250+ members in the US Congress in the Democratic party. Again, UWD is nothing compared to some of the special interest groups in DC, they probably don't have enough money to TALK to 1/10th of the Democratic caucus.
One man is easier to influence than one party, especially if that man is already willing to listen to anti-immigration ideas.
Equating Miller and UWD is absurd. That's like me fearing the monster on my TV more than an actual intruder inside my home.

I certainly hope you’re right on that. I’ve always perceived UWD as being a powerhouse. And that has always been the tragedy of Trump, fact that he has still not gotten rid of Miller. He already took out Bannon and biggest immigration enemy Sessions. I bet you after the election is won he might get rid of Miller too. Let’s hope Kushner can gain ground because he has some good ideas on Dreamers.
