Trump never was against LEGAL immigration - but getting in 11 million illegals through the open border policy of Biden when illegality was what the real issue. Biden did the impossible - h mnged to bring in millions snd gave them preference over Black and Hispanic workers by illegaly caused the working class to revolt against the DP in the election.
The fact is there are people causing continous problems in te House for anybody they do not like and they have no problem with voting with the Democrats to get rid of what hey regard as traitors to their cause.
That is why they want Johnson out of the Speakership and they are not the majority in the House, Repulican Party, At one stage Gaetz was one of them and he is now out of the scene since he left the House and one wonders when his appoinment as DA was not a scam to ge rid of him from the House. They all claim they support Trump when it came to the crunch they undermine him at times.
Part of the problem relates to the US Education system that went belly-up under the rule of the Teachers Union. The Union in fact are major financial cntributors to the DP during election time and in return got control of the Federal Education Department - implemented by the Democrats despite the fact that Eductaion in terms of the US Constotitution is a State function not a Federal funcion. the Fedeal Education Department are filled by Union members and Education is the reason why so many visas are granted to migrants to enter the USA for medical and comueter service operators.
That is why education is bottom of he system with too many people leaving schools in a situaion where they are unable to do even manual jobs. Their schooling is a mess and they have only the Federal Education Department to thank for the fact that they are in fact not prepared for any jobs at all and neither for University level education. The higher evel educaion from what we in SA call private schools from where most of the Univesity entrants come from. So the Universities were taken over by radical leftists more interested in political indoctriantion than in caeer deeopment of future competent professionals.
The answer for High-Tech needs came from Asia and obviously preferable from India and tioo a lesser extent from China and Korea. Once intgrated into the USA system and getting ctizenship those proefesssionals mostly support the Repblican Party and the number of Indians amongst Trumps nominations are from Indian origin. Even Vance's wife is from Indian descent.
There are going to be objections to Patel because he was extremely competent when serving in the WH when Trump was President and found out how the Russian Hoax lies started and his inputs in the end was clesr in the Special Council Huxham investigation when he found out he core of the lies came from the DP operatives starting with Clinton and the DNC and supported by the Obama Administration.
The Democrats fear him as they fear for their corruption activitie that the FBI tried to protect because they had Biden under firm control - they could have investigated and pulled the rug from underneath Biden and his fake administration whenever they wanted to. Biden was and still is corrupt and with him as Presidet the whole administration went the corrupt way and the whole lot of DP leaders made money out of the system and so did the leadership of the crooks in the House would also be exposed. But the fact is that Biden never was the real President - he was controlled by Obama, Gates and Soros - who in fact ran the USA with Biden being their idiotic front.
By the way some items you quote came from Fox News - but Fox News was also in especially 2020 against Trump's presidency with a number of DP members in high positions in the Fox set-up. Most of he DP supporting members are still in Fox News - but most of them are now supporting Trump by 2024. Fox News are not a biased as the DP site supporters claim - they have a much wider approach on issues than the leftist media has since they are more inerested in news than the leftist media has.
Trump always been the centrist in the Party set-up - while people like Gibbs claimed tey represetns the conservtive elements and plead Trump's support their candidacy and then undermine the Party from within. The elements are up for re-electio in the 2026 election and they realize that they are going to be primaried in 2026 if they do not follow the party policies.
So in this case the chap speaking on Fox is one of those so-called "Conservatives" that undermine Party Unity, Trump also do not trust them and all his nominees are from he Independents and moderate Republicans and not the extemist wing of the Party. In the end the storm around the Speakership will be decided by Trump and the people who undermine Trump will be read the riot act and and would succumb to womsoever Trump wants as Speaker, I have a feeling the person that may end up as Speaker will be Rep Bryan Donalds. Check him up please.
Johnson on the whole supported Trump - but was weak when he was the only Republcian involved in the intermediate drama interim approvals Biden wante to use until mid-March. The other "Republican" involved was McClinnon in the Senate and he was an ardent friend and supporter of Biden.
So in the Republican Caucus in the House I think that one of Trump's closest supporters in the House Rep Jim Jordan from Ohio is going to nominate Donalds as Speaker and that is what in the end will likely happen. Trump would have contacted all the House members and they will do what Trump wanted,
The members wil be sworne in on 3 January and the Spaeker election will be on that date.. On the same date the Republicans will get conrol of the Senate. On 6 January 2025 the Congress would meet to verify the election of Trump as President and a lot of the Demcoats not to verify the eelction results have already been in evidence, The House cannot operate without a Speaker and Trump may decide on an otsider to be the Speaker - the position is not subject to be a House member and he may decide on who he wants as Speaker, If it is nt Donalds he may appoint Ramaswami as Speaker.
The ultrra-left idea to sabotage the election results will not work since they will not get support from about 15 moderates in the House that will not support that strategy of the ultra-leftists in the House, The question is both Parties are problematic. In the House there are reactionaries in both Parties -
* in the Republican Party their are about 10 ultra-conservatives; and
* in the D P their are about 20 centrists that in the past voted for Republican Party legislation that the Senate and Biden Administration sabotaged,
Since the election a number of moderates spoke out against DP policies and they are not going to support the eelction of Jeffires as Speaker like they did in the past, The Hispanics deserted the D P in massive numbers and the Representives in mainly Hispanic areas are going to take their revenge if the Democratic Party members are aware of what will happen to them if they support the DP in sabotaging impementation of Trump's policies. They know what will happen to them in the 2026 election.
I think the DP is going to break up into two parties - the ulra-letis and Communist members and he Modeates forming a new Party. The moderates will find it hard to form such a new Party since they will not have media support for their viewpoints, So the moderates wil end up joining the Republican Party rather thn forming a new Party.
I fact it would be clear by Friday what is going to happen - since the Congress will meet the Monday next week to verify the election results. There are two House seats of the Democrats that may not be vailable to be sworne in, since their election has been challenged in Court and the ruling of the courts will be awaited before they can be sworne in as House members,, In both cases the counting took 3 weeks to be completed and they won because of votes not casted by election day and took 3 weeks to get additional votes to get them elected. Those cases are going to end up in the Supreme Court and then the Court will instruct on votes collected after the election day shall be discarded and not to be counted. and the two Republican candidates will be elected. One can only wonder how many cemetries were election centers used for that purpose known as vote harvesting - which in California is a legal method used by DP agents to collect votes fom people that did not vote on or before election day and than votes are collected and counted weeks after election day. The Supreme Court will not fall for that method and is likely to rule that election vote harvesting after eelction day will be declared as illegal and Unconstitutional.
