Antonio Caracciolo is a member of the Teamsters local 282 in New York. He supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and tells Steve Inskeep why.

Those who say they will not vote in the general election for Trump reveal that they prefer Hillary or Sanders. If not, they should ask themselves who is better for this country.
Objectively, the symbiotic corporate-government relationship we see now in the USA is a version of fascism. It is not much different than the ChiCom government model. It relies on lies to perpetuate itself. At least the Chic Coms are trying to build something up. The USA’s fascism is in the business of making a killing selling out what previous generations of patriots died trying to make and defend.
Huh? What does that have to do with the topic?
I’m with FDR on gov’t unions. One area he was actually right.
But teamsters are thugs and crooks and that is the issue here. What public sector union is backing any republican?
Cross-over appeal used to not be a dirty words. Reagan won with it. No Republican is ever going to win again without it. Michigan should tell us a lot about whether Trump can truly broaden the Republican coalition as he has claimed.
Well said.
The fact that a LOT of working class whites and union members have been owned by the Dems for decades speaks volumes about the weakness and delusion of the Republican party.
Cross over appeal by having them agree with you is the key. Not by selling out and agreeing with them.
If you want cross over appeal just nominate Joe Biden as the Republican nominee.
Trump's fighting a unionization attempt may be all the reason they need.
Were talking about unions right? I like to point out to folks there are now more unionize GOVERNMENT employees than exist in all of private sector America.
Some folks don’t like hearing this. I understand.
Huh? Are you arguing with yourself or something?
I thank you may be right. Thanks for the reply.
At Federal Hall on Wall St, there were a wholebunchalotta suits that joined with us in “rescuing American flags.” Many more than reported.
By the time we got to City Hall, the number of suits had decreased and the police presence had increased. When the flag at City Hall was raised back to full staff, our cheers were met by catcalls, “presents” and “gifts” hurled from the roof of Pace College across the street.
Of course, since one should always acknowledge the receipt of “gifts”, we crossed over to visit and “thank” those students.
As to whether the flag was again lowered to half staff, I cannot say. At the time I was going to College.
I’d rather be a JFK Democrat than a Mitt Romney Republican,, any day
I most definitely see that. It sinks in more when people have to get into that voting booth and at that time have to THINK about what they are about do to, then vote logically and not Glitter.
I remember trying to talk with Gore voters/anti Bush...when you get to or close Truths about Gore......they quickly changed the subject and said "Yeah, well what about Nixon".
Dead Nixon that is. lol Remember how long it took for Democrats to finally let Nixon rest??
Round and round they go in that circle, you simply can't pin them down, nor will Trump himself stay put on issues. Probably a more accurate description of Trump is the Mercury guy.
read this and pass it on

there is a lot in there what a wise voter can see to be able to make a wise choice. There is nothing new under the sun and a leopard can’t change his spots...oh wait.
you will see that he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, it is the tomorrow that most are in fear of based on yesterday and today....
Just as the MSM and Democrats gave us McCain and Romney, they will give us Trump. The Ds flock to the polls to vote in our primaries to vote for the most unelectable while the media gives that nominee non-stop coverage. After the nomination, the media then turns on that nominee and lowers the boom with non-stop coverage of all the negatives of that candidate that they foisted upon us.
Get ready. It WILL be Trump. He WILL lose the GE.
You've got issues, I've noticed before but wow. If I recall correctly you wouldn't support the nominee last time either? I seem to recall you would not support a mormon.
By the way, did you ever come up with that link showing Donald Trump gets more votes from Democrats than Republicans?
In case you forgot what you wrote here it is, word for word but you never got back on the breakdown. I know you've been here awhile so you should know you shouldn't make claims without citing the source.
The break down of support over all is democrat, which is why open primaries are his victories.
Wonderful news, dynoman!
