Hoffa. “She is the right candidate for the middle class and working men and women across the country.

Their ‘General Executive Board’ can vote all they want for Hilary but a substantial part of the rank and file members will go to Trump.

The Teamsters are not as numerous as they once were. Independents have grown as much as the Teamsters have declined.

I work in a Teamster’s shop. I can tell you that not a single member of our 60 or so member shop will vote for Hillary. Every single one plans to vote Trump, regardless of what leadership might say.

Just like the UAW is now a bunch of medical and government employees, I assume most “Teamsters” today couldn’t drive a truck if their life depended on it.

My goodness me, he looks just like his dad!

Chelsea looks like her “other” dad, but with the help of plastic surgeons, she is looking more like her mom. Or is it age?
