The area around Everett has a heavy union presence. While the union bosses will tell their people to vote for Hillary, I’m not at all sure that the rank-and-file will follow through. Their bosses told them to vote for Obama, and the union rank-and-file believe that they were burned on that one.
I think you’re absolutely correct. Fingers crossed that there will be a good, energetic attendance for Trump and a big vote for him in Nov from the Everett area. I don’t mean to sound like a pessimist, but after suffering through Rossi’s loss and Fraudoire and Murray and Cantwell’s wins, it’s tough to get a Pubbie elected in this state. We know that eastern WA will go for Trump and I hope some of the people in the Everett, Fife, Milton, Tacoma and Joint Base Lewis-McChord wise up and vote Trump. If he’s coming here, he’s showing he cares about us and perhaps some close internal polls. Also, given the big Boeing plant in Everett, he can discuss how China wants Boeing to build the plant there in order to sell planes to them.
