DJT will carry PA, WI and MI because of the union voter, present or former. Not the bosses or the politicos, but the blue-collar workers. The workers who have seen their jobs and futures traded away, they're pensions robbed and their hometowns plunged in to economic depression.

This country (right and left) has abandoned them over the past decades, and this is the last chance they have to make their voice heard.

MAGA

He will get the blue collar vote... the MSN has been reporting that all year; however, they have not referred to them as the "blue collar Dem" instead they have called them the "white, uneducated male" vote.

See what they did there?

Strange that you never hear "black, uneducated female vote" = the lifeblood of the DEM party.

a) not all unions are the same. the SEIU and culinary unions will 100% back hillary. this is extremely important in nevada

b) a lot of the union vote already left the dems in PA/MI. Not all of it, but a lot. Union vote is like 60:40 for the dems, but the SEIU is like 90% for the dems and its the largest union. Teacher unions, also huge, are also a lock for the dems.

Yes, they will vote against the party that has outsourced their jobs to Mexico, China, Singapore, India etc etc.

They want there jobs back and the only chance they will get them is to vote against the democrats.

I'm around 300+ union workers everyday and I haven't heard a one say they are voting for Hillary. Even the bosses.

Hell, there was a proposal at the last meeting to ask the national council not to direct any of our local funds to Democrats.
