I just heard on the radio that Hillary's union support dropped to a modern low of 51%.

Maybe unions realize that legalizing illegals and being more global with greater foreign competition doesn't help them.

I'm surprised it's that high..

Why would any Union worker support a politician who completely holds them in contemp and who wants to move their jobs to the 3rd world.

The blue collar working person, union or non union, is pretty much done with the democratic party, especially whites. The ones who STILL voted Clinton are living in the past and havent yet gotten the memo that they truly don't care about you, at all. This isn't the party of JFK anymore folks, or even Bill Clinton when the effects of NAFTA hadn't kicked in yet.

If you aren't part of the establishment snooty self righteous propaganda class, or a person who takes pleasure in calling oneself vicitimized just because you're a minority of some sort and you want free stuff and sympathy then the democratic party is not for you.

I think you're pretty spot on here with the Democratic party. It's been hijacked by the loons. I used to respect the Democratic party's support of the working class person. Now, IDK, I think special interest has corrupted both parties if we really wanna be honest here.

The only union members that I see truly supporting the Democrat party are the government unions anymore.

Most of my family are in trades Union here in California and they voted for trump. They have been democrats their entire lives. They supported trump because democrats selling out to illegals taking work from them and respect for trump as someone who can get things done.

It was noted during the race that this was going to happen.

The GOP is the party of the working man. If we can just convince them to stop pushing right to work.

Can you cite a source to support what you supposedly "heard"?

I can't seem to find any statistics online to corroborate your claim.

Thanks!
