4. Great speech, great programs. They would certainly help the country AND union workers.

The question is whether union leaders can convince their union members to be as enthusiastic.

Unions are like the south. Every thing seems fine, but scratch the surface and the truth rears its ugly head.... (I spent 45 years in the south and ALWAYS knew that ugliness was there.)

There were a lot of Hillary haters in the unions in 2016. (Other than brainwashing by FOX, Limbaugh, hate radio in general 24/7 for 30 years, there is NO reason for the hatred.)

Hopefully the tide has turned.
