If you're a Republican anywhere that pretty much all of them, as history has shown. But in Wisconsin the police and fire unions had the great good sense to support Walker and surprise, surprise they were the only two that didn't have their collective bargaining rights taken away. Now since the Democrats have pissed off the Unions with their support of the TPP and other issues then if the Unions want to protect what they have left they may as well remain neutral or go for the GOP.

It's called "Cronyism"

...not necessarily.......it’s a bit harsh to say that all candidate support is tied to cronyism.....though much of it clearly is.

And it's been around forever. The Unions took advantage of it under the Dems, they may as well try it under the GOP.

It's called picking battles you can win...incrementalism.

It's how the Left has gotten where they are.

Of course, for the purists, that's too "unprincipled."
