>>We’re going into hyperdrive, especially in the pockets of our membership

So, they’re reaching into pockets and moving their hand really, really fast??

SEIU?

The same group that so fervently supported Obama?

Seriously?

The members are 64% conservative while their “leaders” are pure Communists.

Trump is fragmenting major strongholds of the Democrat party.

“Fervent” is the key word here. I see a lot of psychological similarities between Trump’s 2016 campaign and 0bama’s 2008 campaign. There is a synergistic self-reinforcing psychological energy loop going on; it’s a “event” and people want to be a part of it. Both campaigns are building on a sense that things are “going wrong” and a charismatic, popular leader has emerged to appears to understand the problems of the common man.

And Hillary is every bit the old worn-out politician that McCain was. The irony is that the Trump campaign is being used against the people who fomented 0bama’s 2008 campaign, who are suffering with supporting a dead candidate, just like the dead candidate they opposed in 2008.

I love irony, particularly when it’s applied to people I don’t like.

They bought into their leadership’s message last time & voted for Zero. Sounds like a few have learned from that mistake.

Trump is doing what the GOPe always claimed to want — attract voters from all across the spectrum.

So what do they do? Try to destroy him.

I’ve seen their members. The ones I saw were not conservative. They were hardcore communists.

They want full-time jobs. They want good-paying jobs. They want jobs with benefits. Trump promises to deliver.

I recently posted a piece on Donald Trump attributed to Peggy Noonan. That same piece is also attributed to Chuck Yeager. BOTH ARE BOGUS!

If you saw mine and sent it on, my sincere apologies!

That said, although the sentiments expressed were NOT Noonan’s or Yeager’s, more and more Americans are coming to understand that The Donald may be the only candidate — followed closely by Cruz — with the mindset, guts and other anatomical appurtenances to muck that fetid philosophical, ethical, moral and intellectual whore house on the Potomac!

This is probably our last chance to get that job done before we slide down the drain we’ve been circling for a few decades now.

Must go now and don my OSHA UNapproved asbestos BVDs to prepare for the massive flames from actual whores who deeply resent being compared to the creatures now infesting Malfunction Junction.

She referred to the "blue collar members".

Read white.

Plus The Donald employs a number of union workers. They love him.

especially in the pockets of our membership that have a lot of Muslim leaders to stand against what is being said" by Trump, she said

That must be all of those "moderate moslems" I keep hearing about. Always wondered where they were.

Maybe what you saw were SEIU’s rent a mobs, paid for by members dues and George Soros. Yet another example of the union leadership not representing the interests of the rank and file, but instead a political agenda. I would bet that most of the SEIU members who are part of the rent a mobs do not have real jobs. Maybe goobermint jobs in leftist city governments.

Even the Union Thugs from SEIU can’t stop the anger from most of the working class. The jig is up. No way “one on ones” are going to thwap this. The Grand Socialist Stomp has run out of other peoples’ money and it is payback time.

The union leadership is far left. The blue collar members are for Trump. This is good news that unions can’t deliver the votes to Hillary she is depending on. All the more reason to go Scott Walker on unions.
