Party leadership knows Trump is bad for them, so they will not support him.

My general impression of blue collar union workers is that they are some of the dumbest, most ineffectual and short-sighted organisms to be given the title of “sentient.” It’s really no surprise to me
“Jeez, why don’t unions like us?”
Because the Teamsters, like many blue collar workers, are racist and sexist Trump supporters. It really doesn’t need to go farther than that.
