Steve Forbes: Trump Will Lure Votes From Democrats
thehill.com ^ | February 28

Posted on 02/28/2016 6:15:48 PM PST by Helicondelta

Publishing magnate Steve Forbes weighed in on the Republican presidential race Saturday and said that Trump would do well with unions, even if union leaders pull for a Democratic candidate.

“[Union leaders] may endorse a Democrat like Hillary Clinton, but the rank and file, a big chunk of them are going to go their own way," Forbes said on a radio interview with John Catsimatidis. He also said a big part of Trump's appeal is his attitude in speeches.

"Trump, even as he criticizes and throws out charges and all that kind of thing, he always ends up on an upbeat note about the USA," Forbes said.

"“[Union leaders] may endorse a Democrat like Hillary Clinton, but the rank and file, a big chunk of them are going to go their own way,"

That may be the case if the candidate IS NOT Trump. Case in point. My daughter-in-law, union worker, (democrat) can't stand Hillary and would probably go for a republican if it is not Trump, because she can't stand him even more.

No, union leaders support Democrats because they get pork in return. But ordinary union workers have more than once recently voted for conservative Republicans, because they want to cut back on taxing and spending which has been losing them their jobs.

Also, union workers don’t appreciate the usual Democrat support for forced union dues.

"Trump's PRIMARY GOAL IS TO BE THE FIRST SOCIALIST DemocRAT ELECTED BY REPUBLICANS"

Apparently you've never heard of Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover and Dwight Eisenhower.

Correction: I've got a BETTER suggestion.


And George Washington saw this time,
and he gave us the — he gave us where we should be going.We should run to the Constitution.
    Because it was done with exactness
      and they could sleep at night,
and we’ll be able to sleep at night
    because our answers are all contained there.
Our problems are because we didn’t adhere to the Constitution.

    America, RUN to the Constitution.

      The event is in the hand of God.
