The problem is that this vote is public; I’d like to see this one vote be secret, we’d have had better numbers. Even if we got to 29, odds are that he’d pull off a win in the end; it’s too risky to vote against him publicly.
And Republicans have fought to keep a secret ballot for union votes, but they sure want a public vote for their leadership positions so they can use all the threats and thug tactics and punishments at their disposal. Pathtetic thugs and hypocrites.
These should not be public votes because there is no way the results reflect the true will of those voting.
