BIG SMILE! I hope this rebellion spreads across America like a wild fire! The powers that be are shaking in their boots and soiling their underwear - you gotta love it! BIG SMILE!
Illegals.....period!
Of course, most of trump’s support comes from democrats.
Exactly what are you saying, that Teamsters are illegals??
Nearly everyone in my IBEW group I talk to supports Trump. We are not illegals.
If Donald keeps his campaign from bounding out of control, he could well amass an amazing coalition.
Teamsters seem to be waking up to the fact that their long beloved Democrats will sell their jobs out for thirty pieces of environut (or worse) silver. Oh, they may put on a periodic Kabuki theater of battling against management for the benefit of their membership, but in the end they cannot countenance the shooting of the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Trump is going to get what used to be called Reagan Democrats
Cruz WON’T (or may not, .. to be fair)
That is why I am STILL holding out hope for a Trump/Cruz ticket
They still are, it’s just that the Democrat is running as a Republican. After all, two thirds of Trumps votes have come from Democrats and Independents. The last time the Teamsters supported a Republican was for Reagan’s second term. the first election in “80” the Teamsters supported Carter.
Not an attack, just the facts. If anyone takes it as an attack, it just proves my point, because whenever you point out the truth about Democrats you are always accused of attacking your opponent.
Don’t believe me? just take a cursory look at history, it happens in each and every election years when a Republican is running against a Democrat.
Yeah that’s why he leads most polls among republicans by double digits.
Come on man...
Could it be that Mexican illegales have posed a challenge to Teamsters?
I remember the Teamsters backing Nixon, especially during *Phase II*....of course there was a quid-pro-quo involved, but Hey, it’s politics!
>>If Donald keeps his campaign from bounding out of control, he could well amass an amazing coalition.<<
Apparently there is no border for his campaign within which to stay.
The break down of support over all is democrat, which is why open primaries are his victories.
The man is telling it like it is. Everyone cconnected with theNWO is screamig AGAINST TRUMP. AMERICANS are FOR TRUMP.
Your argument that Teamsters don’t support Republicans involves the time since Reagan, when the Bush dynasty and their fellow elitists stole the nomination process. Are you saying the Bushes, McCain, Romney, Ryan and the other backstabbers represent Republicans who want what’s best for hard-working US citizens? Whose side are you on?
Expect more of this to happen. Hillary and Bernie have recently been showing their contempt for Working Class and Poor whites.
Not another whining Freeper with Stockholm syndrome.
Teamster’s also supported Reagan.
It’s a great take-away from the dems!
Chuckling, because the GOP was supposed to be the Big Tent party.
Apparently all they needed was the Clown to draw the crowds. Donald volunteered.
Hey, I won’t refuse that, thank the good Lord for favors large and small.
