Unions didn't turn out for Hillary (racist, politicians, Pennsylvania, parties)

However I am convinced she actually thought it would help. Another sucker.

Of course.

So I ask again...is this what the so called white working class voted for? Because I'm damn sure confused now.

Thanks.

Clinton outperformed Trump among union households by just 8 percent, the smallest Democratic advantage since Walter Mondale’s failed campaign against Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Clinton’s poor performance among union households appeared to especially damage her in crucial Midwestern states. Clinton actually lost Ohio’s union households to Trump by 9 points, according to exit polls. The state went to Trump.

A similar scenario played out in Wisconsin this year, another state that went to Trump.

The AFL-CIO’s political director, Michael Podhorzer, told POLITICO that Clinton “ran a really good campaign” but appears to have lost votes to third-party candidates. Indeed, exit polls showed Trump’s share of union households only rose by 3 percent compared with Romney in 2012.

CEOs turned out for Hillary. In a Wall Steet Journal poll CEOs voted 50% Hillary, 38% Trump and an amazing 12% Johnson.

We've been through this before. To not have foreigners and 'diversity' take their seat and eat their lunch. And that's just the economic aspect.

Not so much the Union leadership but the members realize it.

Trump should bust all unions.

Thanks, how original.

Nah...we haven't been through anything before. Who are you? I know you from somewhere?

My question remains...did working class whites hire Trump to do some union busting?

This is what I was going to post. With the exception of police and fire, public unions should be illegal. It's a giant racket milking the taxpayer.

Why should police and fire unions be spared?

I did not. The question remains...Did you a whatever class black hire Obama to islamize and globalize America?

Explain why police and fire should be excepted.
