Unions are Democrats. They see Biden as a moderate. Wait and see who they back in the general if Bernie is the standard bearer for the dhimmicrats.

[DainBramage]

I never said I think they care. Hell the local doesn’t even care.

[Vaquero]

The unions are as crooked as the Demoncrats.

There. Fixed it

[SERKIT]

This is a classic Union Leadership vs Rank and File disconnect. Go to the parking lot behind any full-time fire station. You will find bumper stickers for IAFF, National Rifle Association, Trump 2016, and Pro-Life causes.

Union leadership don’t care about union members. Like the United Mine Workers supporting Obama even after he vowed to destroy Coal miner’s jobs.

January 2008 , Obama vows to bankrupt coal industry.
May 2008 United Mine Workers Endorse Obama.

OBAMA TO MAKE GOOD ON PROMISE TO ‘DESTROY THE COAL INDUSTRY’ THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDERS

United Mine Workers: “Obama Will Be On Our Side”

Mine Workers Union Endorses Obama
Support comes despite recent defeats in coal producing states.

McDonald, who is African American, said voters here worry about health care and education.

Confidential to McDonald: with single payer, say goodbye to your negotiated health bennies. And common core? Good luck with that.

There is a reason groups usually do not endorse a candidate this early in the process... they look like idiots when their candidate fails to even reach the primaries.

Joe Biden is not a serious candidate. He is a stalking horse. Not sure who he is working for but I believe his purpose is to suck all the air (and money) out of the other Democrats campaigns and clear the path for the Democrat’s real candidate.

Personally I don’t believe it will be Hillary (besides her health and age, she may soon be facing some real legal problems).

Some are suggesting that Michelle Obama may run but even Michelle knows that President Trump is not your typical Republican, he would have no problem attacking Michelle.

The Democrats are playing pre-2016 politics where they believe a minority candidate will be immune to any attack because of their race or sex. They still have not learned President Trump is not their Grandfather’s Republican.

President Trump will go after who ever the Democrat nominate exposing their past and amplifying their leftest views.

Now the elephant in the room is the looming PHASE 2 of the Russian collusion story - This is when the deep state conspirators are exposed (and hopefully brought to justice).

This is going to be fun election cycle.

I’m retired and my son is an active FF. The membership does not support Biden.

[bert]

And they say conservatives worship the past, the status quo grown archaic, obsolete. Here are two old men looking backward to an era that is long gone.

Watching Biden making the speech was pathetic..... The message to those Democrats that are now mostly dead. Biden is flogging a ghost horse

[MCF]

They will vote for Trump anyway.

[Spok]

Now the rank and file can leave the unions thanks to the SCOTUS Janus decision. Let’s just wait and see.

[Paco]

Yeah, I don’t donate to Firefighters or Police unions anymore. My brother is retired FF and my stepson is a detective on a MS-13 gang unit. But since the unions endorse Dem’s I will never donate.

[Species8472]

42 years retired ff/pm solid for Trump!

[Wilderness Conservative]

Im shocked to learn big city employees are librats.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

I can’t imagine there are many firefighters that care about their family and their country who are supportive of that senile old creep. The bas-turd should be in prison, in the same cell with the Clintons and the Obamas!

[jazzlite]

It embitters all conservatives to have no say in which political candidates get their mandatory dues. That is a great injustice done to union members. It is not right.

[hotsteppa]

The headline of this article starts with a lie. Stop reading there.

..... not good when your supporter falls asleep

[Gene Eric]

A backdrop of union thugs behind a Democrat Thug.... what a surprise...

Doubtful Trump is bothered by it, and doubtful he doesn’t have support of the majority. He certainly doesn’t have support from TH

Daily Mail tried to make out Biden had a big crowd - mentioning “crowd” about a dozen times:

30 Apr: Daily Mail: I’m campaigning on ‘truth over lies’: Biden rallies union workers in Pittsburgh to start his 2020 presidential run saying he is in the rust belt to beat Trump - and is rewarded by chants of ‘We love Joe’
•Former Vice President Joe Biden launched his first campaign rally Monday to the CROWD of blue-collar voters who he believes can put him in the White House
And he rallied the CROWD with fighting words...

however:

29 Apr: Yahoo: AP: The Latest: Biden accuses Trump of abusing powers
He told HUNDREDS of cheering supporters and union activists in Pittsburgh that the U.S. can thrive through increased economic unity, saying, “We can do all of this without punishing anybody.”...
Before Biden took the stage, HUNDREDS of supporters and union activists in the Teamsters Union ballroom chanted: “We want Joe! We want Joe!”...
