This is a problem for the democrats, if unions back Trump, there will be no stopping him in 2020.
Most working people have long figured out that the Democrats dumped them long ago. That the Democratic party doesn't represent the working class, their interests or their values. That instead the Dems have gone full left-wing, supporting criminals and welfare queens, rather than workers. Even the unions are recognizing that Trump (if not necessarily the Republican party on a wide basis) are supporting blue collar workers far more than the left ever will.
IMO it goes further. More and more workers are actually realizing that businesses don't have an unlimited supply of money to hand out. That many business owners live modestly and risk their life's work and savings to start that business. They are starting to realize that the conflict today isn't between workers and businesses, it it workers and business against a government that is overrun with greed and a desire to take what they haven't produced. And as more and more people recognize that, the Democratic party is getting more and more desperate, more deranged and irrational, in their acts and statements, and efforts to appeal to their "new" base. Which just further alienates them from the moderates and workers.
Oooh goody! A YouTube video and a link from the Conservative Treehouse! What’s the matter? Couldn’t find an anonymous blog or scrawl on a bathroom wall to source so you has to downgrade?
Just the president of a major union singing Trump's praises. Remember when democrats claimed to be for the working man and woman?
It’s a link to Chuck Todd interviewing a steelworkers representative. And Chuck Todd was his typical condescending self. You could feel his anger that these guys might like Trump. I get that people don’t like Trump. He’s brash, abrasive, insulting. But the man is not afraid of a fight. He doesn’t mind criticism, or he can take it at least.
I personally think the tariffs aren’t as bad as many think. Germany does it and no one bats an eye. They say look at Germany, they protect their workers.
The steelworker made a very good case. You should watch it.
LOL I'm not watching that video, but what did Trump do? Ensure the financial health and solvency of their pension funds, thanks to a booming stock market?
Saying that "unions won't vote for Trump" is an inane remark. Anyone who's ever been in a union knows that union bosses assume that members vote in lockstep with them.
It doesn't happen.
That's just not true, I worked for two public agencies for a total of 27 years and I would guess that 30% voted Republican, 50% Democratic and 20% didn't vote. You come up with these sweeping generalities that have no basis in fact. Union bosses do not accompany members to the polling place and watch how they vote.
