GOPDD: DEMOCRAT NIGHTMARE: Union Leaders and Members Continue to Flock to Trump

By Clyde - Feb 1, 2016

In September, union leaders rocked the political world by suggesting Hillary would not just automatically get their nod; that Republican candidate Donald Trump could be in play for their consideration, in part due to Hillary’s rejection of the Keystone Pipeline, while Mr. Trump supports it.

Earlier this year, SEIU Chief Henry admitted that Trump appealed to many union members.

Recently, the New York Times expanded on that report:
In expressing her concern, Ms. Henry reflected a different form of anxiety that is weighing on some union leaders and Democratic operatives: their fear that Mr. Trump, if not effectively countered, may draw an unusually large number of union voters in a possible general election matchup. This could, in turn, bolster Republicans in swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, all of which President Obama won twice.
