100,000 working people to go door-to-door to defeat Trump

If the plan works as designed - and there's every indication it will - some 100,000 volunteers will answer the call of the Working America Coalition to speak with working families across America about the need to support candidates who support them.

...
In their announcement, the Working America spokespersons said, "We will deploy nearly 100,000 volunteers and staff across the country to speak with working families about the importance of this election and ask them to support the candidates who will be their best advocates."


That's not what they want.

This is what they want.

A study done last year by Working America, which is affiliated with the AFL-CIO, found that "Face-to-face conversations are critical for breaking through reflex thinking on difficult issues;" thinking that leads some working people to support Donald Trump.

Working America canvassers went door to door in working class neighborhoods where Trump seems to have made inroads.

...
In their announcement of their program to reach voters, the Working America Coalition said, "When our program is successful, when working people join together, it shifts the entire dynamic of the race. Working people will ensure Hillary Clinton-a proven leader who shares our values and who is committed to working families and workplace rights-will gain the White House.

Where do you get Communists? And why are you surprised?

This is door-to-door campaigning which is standard in an election. Trump may think all he needs to do is blow, bluster and tweet, but the Democrats know that talking to people is very effective.

Yeah, and if you go into twitter, you see just how many people tweet that they "like him". It has to hold the world record for mean tweets.
