That’s why I think this is a very dangerous political moment in our country,” Henry said. She added that she thinks Trump appeals to some of her members because of the “terrible anxiety” some people in the working class are experiencing. “I think he’s touching this vein of the terrible anxiety that working-class people feel about their current status, but more importantly, how terrified they are for their kids not being able to do as well as they have, never mind doing better,” Henry said. “ You know, so that broken sense of the future and that emotion having an easier appeal to fear than to what’s possible is what we found is why — we’re doing one-on-ones with every one of our members right now in this period because 64 percent of our public members identify as conservative and are much more interested in the Republican debate than the Democratic debate at this moment.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/01/trump-seiu-mary-kay-henry-217445#ixzz3wavTzPva
union members know the democrats have been screwing them over too. now every working person is ripe to form a new party. working people vs the cronies and the handout takers. What a person like trump needs to do... is drop the social issues for now and unite every tax payer against the politicians in d.c. and their cronies. note... to the leftists drones... your ideas are not supported by the workers (64% now identify as conservative...not because they are conservative but because conservatives are now simply tax payers who care about the rule of law and our childrens futures) so who are you working/cheerleading for and why?
I am not sure union members every fully bought into the democrats. The union bosses and the money machine in the union were into the dems, but blue collar union workers weren't. I worked at a teamsters shop in the 90's and they hated Clinton. The went on strike and fucked the economy to some extent, but they hated this Bill Clinton. At my current work, this union guy pulled me aside about 1.5 years ago. He trusted me because i gave him some stock tips and he doubled his money in 6 months based on my tips. He gave me a pamphlet and told me not to tell anyone. At first I thought he was communist. The pamphlet was a big anti-Obama diatribe. It really tells you something about the union leadership that he would be so scared to known as anti-Obama.
you don't run into union guys in san diego often. but when people have friends visting from back east... they are all against this open border crap and want a fence. they need to run their leadership out or run the democrats they vote for out.
