However let me ask you this. How many jobs would your union sacrifice to get Gay Marriage? How many factories and job sites would the unions accept being idled so a woman's right to choose is defended? What benefits are the Unions willing to forgo for the pleasure of a knife in the back from the politician they worked hard to elect? Why would the AFL-CIO warn Senator Wyden about supporting the TPP but ignore that support in a Presidential candidate?

Or is the Union smart enough to see that taking back the Senate and stopping the TPP there would be a better use of money and influence than backing one of two bad choices in the White House?
