The International Association of Fire Fighters, a politically powerful labor union, has abandoned its initial plans to endorse Democrat Hillary Clinton for U.S. president, the New York Times reported on Friday.

Citing union sources, the Times said the Clinton campaign was told on Monday by IAFF President Harold Schaitberger that there was not enough support on the union's board or its rank-and-file members for an endorsement of the Democratic front-runner.

If I had a sister named Hillary, I would drag her ass to the courthouse and force her to change her name.

Teamsters Delay Endorsing Hillary, Eye Trump

If Trump were to get the endorsement of the Teamsters, it would be huge and would likely hand him the presidency should he be the GOP nominee. The previous GOP nominees to win the GOP nomination for President who won the Teamsters endorsement went on to landslide victories (Nixon 1972, Reagan 1980 and 1984, George H.W. Bush 1988).

Unfortunately, most union members support Democrats, not for values, but for financial security — financial security subsidized by the tax payer. Not exactly a sign of fortitude.

The majority are dedicated IAFF members, but also love their country and see first hand what failed liberal policies do to society with drugs, poverty, education, etc. they’ve seen many of the the communities they work in become more poor and the increase in illegal immigration and increase in drugs//crime increases their risk when responding to emergencies. Most FF are also some type of medical first responders (EMS) so they deal with the failed Obamacare policies, overcrowded emergency rooms, etc. The dichotomy is they generally support Dem candidates because their IAFF leadership tells them that’s the only way they’re going to keep their benefits, pensions, etc. truth is, though, it’s the failed Dem policies that are making their town/city/county/state bankrupt and that’s jeopardizing their benefits and pay.
