I'm not real big on the unions, but this could be a game changer. Sometimes in battle, you take the allies you can get.........

So it would be a great time to press Donnie on whether he supports right to work.

Trump has more appeal to the Reagan Democrats than any Rep candidate since Reagan.

Just a reminder. Last time the Teamsters backed a Republican? Anyone? Bueller?

At this point, I’ll settle for someone who I know loves this country, and wants it to succeed. And while I may not agree with everything Trump says, I understand the reason he is running for POTUS and his desire to make this country better.

I’ve been forced to pay dues to this BS union for 30 years. I’ve never seen them do anything politically that I’ve agreed with. Trust me, these a**holes will never not endorse the dem. No way, no how.

when you’re allied with the teamsters, you aren’t allied - you are deceived.

When you have an America First Campaign to bring jobs and industry back to the US, this probably was not much unexpected.

The only unions that I consider a problem within my political ideology, are the government civil servant unions (from FOP to teacher unions) that own our politicians and can strike and are never fired. They end up being protected by political hacks, while the public is stuck paying the price.

Private sector unions I have no problem with because they balance out the power and greed of global corporate and banker oligarchs with average citizens.Corporate CEOs get billions in labor contracts when they should get nothing guaranteed except what they produce.

Trump seems to represent outside the box interests versus the Wall St banker/media/corporate elites that have worked to destroy our country while making their own lot rich. These elites mostly pretend to be conservative, when they are corporate hacks.

Not good, at least in one sense.

Federally-protected unions are one of the greatest causes of economic sluggishness. Their thuggery and bullying hinder innovation, cost-cutting, and top quality. Unions are one of the main reasons other countries out-compete American companies.

Trump needs to be on the side of what Walker was proposing: doing away with federal unions and federally protected unions. We’d all be much better off.

Now, If Trump made that proposal and the Teamsters supported him, now THAT WOULD be a miracle.

With the numerous projects he’s been involved in over the years, Trump must have had to deal with unions along the way. Does anyone here have any insight as to what type of relationship he’s had with them in the past?

Donald Trump has a longstanding relationship with the Teamsters Union through his various business interests. As a builder and developer the Teamsters have stated before they were always treated well by Donald Trump and his affiliates.

I say there's room for everyone to prosper, unions included, if AMERICA can truly return to REAL PROSPERITY and not this PHONY Obama economy crap.

I predict that Trump will get the union's support.
