Fox News Has Decided Bill O'Reilly Has to Go

Well, the above comment was deleted before I could post this, but I went and got sources so I wanted to share it anyway.

I would argue that only a few of the names listed are widely respected among conservatives. Tucker and Hannity seem to be the ones with the widest reach, but Hannity's strong support of Trump has certainly hurt his respect with Republicans who only voted for Trump because he was the party's nominee and would have preferred someone else. Milo and Lahren both seem like names that are actively disrespected within conservative circles, so I'm not sure why they were listed. Some of those other names I'm not sure who they are so I can't comment there.

As for the list of things that conservatives love about Trump so far, would you mind providing sources for your claims on illegal immigration being down, the wall being on schedule, a newfound respect for America around the world, the economy getting back on its feet, and jobs pouring in? All of those seem to be either unsubstantiated claims or, frankly, plain wrong.

Illegal immigration numbers are only as recent as 2015 and are, of course, estimates by the department of Homeland Security. It looks like they hit a peak in 2007 and have either been dropping or staying steady since then. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/03/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/

Trump's wall on the Mexican border has had its deadline pushed back recently to allow for more bids and better information to be shared with contractors, so not on schedule. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/border-wall-bids-deadline-extended-another-week-n740266

Respect for the US abroad is probably the boldest claim here since it seems to be the exact opposite of what is happening in reality. Looking at polling data, it would appear that respect for the US abroad was at a high-point under Obama, so I'm not sure a newfound respect would be needed. Clearly we consume different news since all I have heard since the election was global mocking of Trump.

As for the economy getting back on its feet and jobs pouring in, I'm not sure where you thought the US was before the election, but its economy was recovering from the global recession much quicker than Europe and Asia and its unemployment rate was 4.6% in November of 2016 which is within the OECD's definition of full employment. It currently sits at 4.5% so calling that jobs pouring in seems a bit much. Wages could always be better, but unemployment was certainly not a problem in the US.
