    Minnesota Public Radio's Elizabeth Trovall on whether Susie Wiles
    sees any hints in her (or Bill Stepien before her (or Brad Parscale
    before him)) focus groups of legacy American proles who might be
    convinced to cast ballots for Donald Trump why they won't let their
    sons and daughters group up to be chipmakers: <URL:https://www.marketplace.org/2024/06/26/new-era-of-semiconductor-manufacturing-clashes-with-dated-immigration-laws/>
    | "I've seen many, many, many people who are disheartened by this and
    | are now just giving up hope," he said.

    | He's seen workers move to Europe or Canada because of visa issues.
    | And he's considered that option -- but he'd rather stay in Portland
    | where he can snowboard, rock climb, buy a house and settle down.
    |
    | "I do want to build a life in the U.S. because my job is here, I
    | really like it here," Surdi said. "But there's uncertainty of if I
    | can stay in the U.S. -- it kind of hinders me in making any long-
    | term plans."

    How large is Justin Trudeau's scab worker export industry and did NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advise Ron and
    Casey DeSantis to unleash David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to make
    Trump regret his including the TN visa in his NAFTA 2.0?

    "Thanks to all the rumors and backlash, President Trump has made it
    clear that Nikki Haley will not be his VP. But promises made to
    supporters and keeping your word are foreign concepts to someone
    like Nikki Haley. This is a woman driven by blind ambition, much
    like her hero, Hillary Clinton, and will stop at nothing to get what
    she wants. That's not to say Trump will roll over and succumb to
    Haley, but he should be aware that she's not going anywhere yet.
    Chances are, she's just getting started." - <URL:https://revolver.news/2024/06/bannon-beattie-expose-nikki- haley-new-2024-plan-and-the-people-eagerly-backing-her-every-step/>
