The teamsters found out their now totally outnumbered by unionized government employees. In fact there are now more unionized government employees than exist in all of private sector America.

All brought to you by loser leadership, career lawyers/politicians.

I saw the debate, and yes Trump did agree with Rubio..

But OneVike, remember they are in a Circle, going round and round and round, dizzy spells effect the brain cells.

Now if you get to close to exposing Trump, they will immediately come back with, "Yeah but, but what about this"

I think the circle has a lot of Mercury in it as well, try pinning that down.

I never said trump didn’t win a closed primary, apparently you just read what you wanted.
Be my guest support trump, I won’t because I don’t vote for liberals.

The break down of support over all is democrat, which is why open primaries are his victories.

Do you have a source for that? I'd love to see the breakdown.

The Republican Establishment relationship with corporations somewhat fits the fascist model. Republican dropped the nationalist part and went gloBULL.

I could be wrong but I think the Teamsters also endorsed Nixon.
BTW - anybody remember the Hard Hat Riot?

I work with a lot of IBEW workers and have never met one that was illegal

My guess is the person was saying "illegals" meaning they were taking union jobs away and that's why unions were getting away from Dem's and voting Trump.

But that's only a guess. :)

You are most certainly correct.

Have you noticed how the Trump supporters, since Thursday debate, and Saturday’s loss to Cruz, that they have backed off more than before?

Even if we have yet to see Trump himself realize it, I do see trump’s supporters coming to the realization that Cruz is no insignificant speed bump in Trump’s way to the nomination.

Good point; many will do all they can to find a reason to vote for Mrs. Bill if they are not already pre-committed to her continued success.

The unions leaders are faced with the fact that those whom they have supported vigorously for 50+ years are now their worst enemy....................

Then I guess I don't have to tell you if you don't vote for the Republican nominee, you ARE supporting the liberal.

They endorsed RR in 1984 and HWBush in 1988.

I'd love to see it because I'd like to see how many "democrats" and how many "independents". I count myself as an "independent" with right leanings although I did have to change registration from independent to republican to vote for sheriff a couple years ago. Husband and I both and we just kept it there.

So what do you think of think? You think having more unionized government employees than exist in all of the private sector America is a sign government lawyers/politicians are concerned with middle America?

They actually have you and me paying 100% of their incomes, gold plated retirements, as well as paying for their unions. So what’s worse, government unions or private sector?
