Guess this proves he is a closet liberal


New Hampshire Department of Safety Workers Union endorses Trump

They even put the announcement up on some state freeway VMS signs.

Who did they support last time around? As much time as Trump has spent bashing Ford for moving plants to Mexico, it is the UAW that should endorse him.

this does show he is a lib, at least at heart. Unions do not usually endorse any Republicans, especially one that claims to be conservative.

One of the things that has me looking at Trump is his discussion about bringing business back to the US by lowering the corporate tax rate. The US rate is the third highest in the world at about 39%. He's talking about lowering it to less than 20% at this time to bring back business from overseas and increase jobs for Americans--have to wait and see. Still surprised Trump has made it this far, but am not surprised he would get a union endorsement.

Reading, though, about the stunts businesses use to shun American workers for foreign workers, how our Congress has made that very easy to do with increasing the numbers of all these foreign workers, and the states refusing to clamp down on the businesses for violating the law about hiring American workers first, makes me very skeptical of everyone these days. Trump would have to stop those violations. These businesses hire foreign workers to avoid unions, etc.

This is about jobs, jobs, jobs. Many people are not going to care if they vote for Dems or Reps. They are going to vote for the individual that will bring back the American middle class and that sure as hell isn't Benghazi Hillary.

So by your own admission, Trump is a different kind of Republican. This is exactly what the people are looking for.

No it doesn't. It proves his policy proposals are good for American workers, and at least one union can see that.

If anyone could stop these tactics, it would be Trump. No other politician will do it, that's for sure. I'm thinking Trump would do it just because he made that promise, and he doesn't want to go down as the president who failed to deliver on his promises. The only promise I think he may fail at is the wall, which I'm okay with as long as he increases border security and enforces e-verify.

If unions start to support Trump, then you can stick King Hillary with a fork, because she's done.
