Change can be sudden: Pennsylvania's largest labor group threw its weight behind a moderate Republican congressman one year after its president warned that union officials may have grown too complacent with the Democratic Party.


It's just one state endorsement, but it represents a crack in the dam.  There's no reason for unions to vote Democratic now.
Republican Fitzpatrick welcomed the union's support—it is posted atop his campaign website's endorsement page. He is the only federal candidate to receive the AFL-CIO's support, which the campaign credited with his middle-class background in contrast to that of "inherited multi-millionaire Scott Wallace."

    The blue collar union vote went solidly for President Trump.

    Which is why the Democrats are FRANTIC to get more illegal alien voters as replacements for American voters who have repudiated them.

    I spent 30 years as a Teamster. During that entire time, it was hammered into everyone that the Democrats are the party of the working man. In reality, it's the party of the non-working man. What further frosted my nuts was that they were backing the party that threw Jimmy Hoffa in jail, and it was a Republican that freed him.
