National union leaders have adamantly opposed Trump over what they feel are extremist and bigoted views. The business mogul’s views on trade and immigration, alongside his decisive tone, has gained him significant support among workers. Union leaders are now concerned that they have lost their members to the outspoken candidate.

I remember a few months ago when Trump was running against Cruz and Cruz was running ahead of Trump in California substantially. There was one nagging statistic though. In Southern California Trump was ahead of Cruz by 18 points. The MSM buried this fact.

This union rebellion by the rank and file reminds me of what was happening in California. I have seen this union story more than once but it is totally buried. It is as if we are getting advanced warning that the dam is about to explode in Trump's favor just like it did in California.

Actually, the dam exploded in Indiana and now California is icing on the cake. The same seems likely now in the general election. Trump and Hillary are now even amongst union support. Wasn't it a few months ago that Hillary was so unbeatable that Trump had not chance and he was down 20 points against her?

The painful reality was that Republican leadership was more afraid of losing control of the base than yet another election to Democrats.

For many many cycles Republicans, even ash holes like McAmnesty and Mittens have gotten about 39% of union votes and the dishonest media has kept that quite. This could be the cycle where union members go over 50% for Trump.
