Last election in 2016 the American worker went for Trump in a big way….his promises of jobs and plants opening swung them to his corner…and so far most of his promises were just farts in a hurricane.

The American worker is dissatisfied with Trump so that bodes well for the Dems in 2020, right?
You would think so….but so far workers are unimpressed….
When one heckler yelled, “You’re an asshole!” at Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at Philadelphia AFL-CIO’s first ever Workers’ Presidential Summit on Tuesday, the entire room roared back with chants of the senator’s name.
This was the most charged moment in a day of presidential candidates pitching union members including steel workers, drywall technicians, communications workers, school cafeteria employees, and airline food workers. Over the course of four hours, they heard from former Vice President Joe Biden, entrepreneur and tech executive Andrew Yang, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, Sanders, major Democratic donor and billionaire Tom Steyer, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
But despite the candidates’ best efforts, the mood among the 2,000 attendees was one of general lackluster toward Democrats in the presidential race, and the six contenders who had showed up to try to win their votes. Notably, front-runner Sen. Elizabeth Warren was missing from the forum the day after she won an endorsement from the Working Families Party.

Bad news for the Dem candidates indeed.
Labor would not be having this problem if they had in the early part of the 20th century had gone for political power instead of economic then this would be a easier race to watch.

Our own Labour Party is currently betraying its voting base, by advocating a second referendum on EU membership. I think ordinary people are fed up with all politicians, whatever their colour.
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree and yet the people keep voting for the most useless of the pack….so ignorance is playing into their decisions…..chuq
They were not buying whatever the democrats were selling.
I do not buy what most of the front runners are selling….so labor looks pretty sharp to me….chuq
