I’ve always been annoyed by the implicit attitude “We don’t want your vote, union thug” (especially when it comes from GOP establishment types who get on their knees and pathetically beg for “minority” votes). The union rank and file are the ones who are hurt the most by illegal immigration and the glut of legal immigrants with work visas, yet their leadership them into voting for candidates who support these policies. Perhaps the union rank and file embracing a candidate like Trump will lead to future union leaders who do the same (as the Teamsters endorsed Reagan).
The Reagan coalition won 3 straight elections until GHW Bush blew it with his savings and loan shenanigans.
