Who Will Working People/Union Members Support & Vote For President?

Posted by: Tom Campbell on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 at 12:00:00 am

While it is Early in the Race, What Do You Think of the Presidential Candidates Who Will Court the Support and Votes of Working People?  As a Union Member, Who Do You Like/Support (So Far): Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders?  Or Another Candidate?  Or are You Hoping for Someone Else to Jump in on the Democratic Side?

Definately Bernie. As much as it pains me to say this, I don't think Hillary would be able to get away from the money interests that are funding her campaign. Bernie is poised to accomplish so much more than any of the other candidates in any party once elected. If we stand together Bernie can be elected President.

I Think Both Hillary and Bernie Would be Good for Labor. However, if You Look at Both of Their Records, I Believe Bernie is the Better Candidate - Based Strictly From a Labor Perspective. I Think Union Members Who Give a 'High Priority' to Union Issues Will Vote for Bernie. When it Comes to Other Issues Bernie Might be 'Too Far Left' for Some. Sad to Say What Your Poll Does Not Account for are Those union Members Who Will Vote Republican. It Seems Hard to Believe, But When Labor Issues are 'Not First and Foremost' in a Member's Mind Social Issues Will 'Sway' People to the Anti-Labor/Republican Side. It's a 'Tough Pill to Swallow,' But Elections Aren't Run on 'One Issue' and Folks Who Vote for a Candidate - Based on 'One' Issue - Do So at Their 'Peril,' Whether Democrat or Republican.
