Oh, boy. Look at what our man just tweeted. Pay attention to the "shout-out" at the end.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 2m2 minutes ago
I am going to keep our jobs in the U.S., and totally rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Crooked Hillary has no clue! @Teamsters

I've heard some rumblings that the Fair Trade message was resonating with the Teamster rank and file. Is Trump's shout-out part of a courting ritual? Or is it a hint of an upcoming endorsement?

I bet you the Democrats are crapping their pants right now.

That would be a first if the Teamsters endorsed a Pubbie. My guess is the leadership won’t do so outright, but won’t stop their members from doing so (only a guess given the head honchos are in the pockets of Dims and vice versa). That said, IIRC the Teamsters management wanted the pipeline and Obama nixed it (Hillary was wishy-washy on it as I recall).

Neither may endorse but I think that Trump’s trade policies are definitely resonating with them, except that may be offset by union management not wanting the wall and wanting the illegal workers to bring into the fold to get more dues.

I think the rank and file will be splitting with their bosses in November!
