Teamsters President James Hoffa, Jr. provided a controversial — and profane — opening act for President Barack Obama in Detroit, "President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march.... Everybody here's got to vote. If we go back and keep the eye on the prize, let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong," he added.

Labor Union areas of the country wanting to be an army against people who oppose Washington DC power and taxes? Hmmm... this sounds familiar.

To his everlasting credit, Donald Trump won over more union voters, more blacks, Hispanics and Asian Americans than any Republican in recent memory.
He even won the endorsement of some unions, especially in law enforcement, but also, for example, some engineers & boilermakers, iirc.

Other unions (especially government workers) are not just married to the Democrats but have, in effect, become appendages of the Democrat party, not sure if there's ever going to be hope for them...
