The teamsters must be racists. I guess they didn’t hear that Harris and Walz are middle class.
And they can relate to people who now their lawns. That’s the winning ticket🤮

Understand what’s happening with the Teamsters: the members all want Donald Trump, but the leadership knows it can’t officially endorse Trump without putting the entire organization at risk due to the bloodlust of the Democrat party at every level in blue states where the Teamsters are most prevalent.
So how to deal with that?
You announce official neutrality while simultaneously releasing a poll that shows your members love Trump and hate Kamala Harris (and that Harris polls significantly worse than Biden, who was deposed by Democrats).

that’s what that twitter link with no description says
Great Analysis. The Democrats brand of Democracy is at GunPoint.
That’s why ballot harvesting used to be illegal.
“Hello, Mr X, I’m from the local mafia and I’m here to collect your ballot.
I see everything’s in order here and you’ve filled out the correct ovals.
As opposed to your so-called independent – thinking neighbor there who filled out unapproved ovals whom you see getting a visit from our enforcement division.
Thank you for your secret ballot, have a nice day, and keep up that protection and fire insurance payment “
Especially now that Kamala has decided she’s black. Definitely racists. I mean, what else could it be?
Kamala didn’t do the work.
Polling is prior to the three assassination attempts and he still smothers Harris.
I don’t believe for a moment that Biden outpolled Trump but with Harris it’s too big to rig.
Three attempts? What am I missing?
The person supposedly detained for not having a bomb.
I realize these are 3 different methods of polling, with the first being in-person, so that is something to take into consideration when looking at the results, but I still have to ask what those who were polled in-person saw in Biden to want to endorse him over Trump. I see the dates of the polling is also listed, so my guess is the bulk of those polled were between April and the debate, when many still didn’t know with Biden that “the lights are on, but no one’s home”.
The electronic and phone polls show almost 2/3 Trump over Harris in endorsement. It would have been interesting to see the results if an in-person poll were done as well.
The Town Hall vote was a hand selected group.
If each person had to make their vote visible to the rest of the group, then the result was predictable.
Exactemundo.
That first ‘in person’ town hall poll could have very easily have been composed of Union leadership and hand picked members; and some scared to say Trump in person out of fear from targeting and retaliation by union bosses.
The second would presumably allow any member to access and vote.
The third – is unknown who conducted (union or outside firm) and may have gotten more reasonable numbers by the members.
One thing appears solid, members and leadership are at cross purposes.
Unions are a reflection of the current Government/Voter dynamic…
In an abusive relationship you say?
Absolutely!
FYP
“One thing appears solid, members and leadership are at cross
purposespaychecks.”I suspect, from my own observation of my friends/acquaintances who are union, that this has been the case for a long time. That the unions are actually polling (and publishing the results) their members tells me that there is a subterranian (loud) rumblings from their rank and file members over the constant union endorsements for the party of destruction in the past.
It appears there is a form of schizophrenia in the leadership that owes fealty to the democrats and yet realizes the destruction a d victory would bring to the business that provides paychecks to their membership. Who will they have left to represent in four years?
So they let the cat out of the bag, that membership is not on board with endorsing the d’s, and discloses it to membership so they clearly understand where membership stands, and simultaneously they(leadership)can pretend that they are still loyal to their d masters.
What they actually do on Wednesday is not as important as what they have just done- they have just told their membership and the world, that the union overwhemingly endorses Trump.
If they endorse Harris on Wednesday they will lose the respect of their members and they will be telling membership and the world, to whom their true loyalty lies. A No Endorsement would look very weak, but may be their way to weasel out of this predicament. It will be interesting to see if they have the courage to endorse Trump.
It’s a crazy dynamic that top mgmt & c-suite are overwhelmingly Democrat. Back in 2019 I was talking to someone who said their company had a consultant analyze the policies of Trump vs Biden with the consultant returning saying the company would do better under Trump policies…but the top brass couldn’t overcome their MSM brainwashing and chose to stay anti-Trump.
Yes, have a neighbor- mba, consultant, teaches an econ class at a university. Just another blind democrat. Smug. Well.. you need to understand the macro…
TDS is as real as the deep state.
Well you’re the rabble in the weeds to them without a brainwashing “degree” so are not worth their time
Brainwashing, or Blackmail?
Salt and pepper. Some of both.
Prolly so.
This long worthy article explains why and how the Derps have destroyed education and stuffed government and business with mindless Marxist drones, to demoralize and dissuade general genius persons capable of reforming republics and being captains of industry and reshorers of manufacturing, and to have fully financially dependent real-world-divorced moronic activists en-masse prepositioned to accomplish destructive tasks.
WHY IS THE WEST SO WEAK (AND RUSSIA SO STRONG)? THE ROLE OF HUMAN CAPITAL AND WESTERN EDUCATION
Part of the equation in understanding the irrationality of supposed leaders throughout our economy and society.
“………and some scared to say Trump in person out of fear from targeting and retaliation by union bosses.”
The more things change, the more they remain the same. Union bosses have long used retaliation and intimidation to control their members.
I took some flak in 2016 by supporting President Trump-company sold in 2017, so not a lot.
I’m sure the Chinese are enjoying your former company’s jobs.
True but there may have been a time when they actually had their interests in mind, and not simply representing the globalist elites.
I actually trust the electronic polls more because they tend to provide greater anonymity than in-person (raise your hand) votes do.
I find it interesting that the big numbers for DJT come after his debate with Biden and after the Butler shooting.
That was a seismic shift in this race, my guess is Trump is up double digits nationally. No wonder Kamala’s handlers are scared $hitless!
Also, pray for DJT daily!
Town Hall=Leadership present=members aware of leadership present=many not trust system enough to answer honestly.
How was the Townhall vote done? Hand? Check a box which could be observed by placement of pencil? By phone?
Union “leaders” who rub shoulders with management sending jobs overseas deserve zero union member support.
Who the leadership gives their member’s 💰💰 too is far more important than who they endorse.
Who’s the 💰💰 going to?
That hasn’t changed, I’m sure.
Overwhelming to Democrats.
Exactly
Agree. It’s not about corrupt media brainwashing. It’s about money!
So the bosses find themselves between a rock and hardplace, and punt?
Yep. Membership polling is strongly for Pres Trump but dare they admit it?
No. Bafflegab about not taking sides LOL
All of the unions should do the same polling and just release those results as the endorsement of their members.
They sure don’t like Harris.
Any person who works and pays taxes probably doesn’t like Harris. Union leadership doesn’t work.
The polling results of ‘public’ unions would be much different, of course.
What makes you think so? A large NY public school conducted an anonymous faculty poll in the lead up to the 2016 election, and 70 percent favored Trump! This result surprised me at the time, since a highly vocal minority on the faculty *seemed* to speak for all, but as we found out, they were simply LOUDER than the rest.
This ‘silent’ majority phenomenon holds true across a wide swath of societal groups. I never answer polls or respond to RNC appeals. They are not my “Friend..” but Donald Trump sure is!
deleted.
Teamsters release their endorsement statement: “ The Teamsters Leadership won’t endorse Donald Trump or Kamala Harris because the union couldn’t find any “definitive support among members for either party’s nominee.” Huge blow to Harris!
https://x.com/mkraju/status/1836482734979715476
The last line is the important line. Harris met with leadership on Monday. She obviously threatened them IC info to scare them into not endorsing PDJT.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/after-overwhelming-pro-trump-polling-teamsters-will-not-endorse-any-candidate
Kamala needed majority support and President Trump needed “universal” support for them to endorse him. 59% isn’t good enough, he needs 100%!
And a total copout by management. Screw them.
🤔 “couldn’t find ant definitive support”. Yet almost 60% prefer Trump. Sounds pretty definitive to me. 🥴
Voting for Trump is like…..
In 2020, the Teamsters endorsed Biden over Trump. In 2024, the Teamsters internal polling show that 59.6% of the members prefer former President Donald Trump over Harris.
The members prefer Trump. The leadership will endorse Harris.
Interesting
I scrolled down SLOWLY through those polling results. First saw Biden with a lead on Trump, and while I didn’t like that, I also know that for some reason a lot of union members used to like Biden. So I wasn’t terribly surprised. But I’ll admit I held my breath and scrolled to see the ones involving Harris. And… good, that’s more like it. I still have trouble believing she’s got even that much support, I suspect they added a few points to her numbers. But regardless, does this mean the Teamsters are now gonna make if official? “Trump 2024”
(Edit: I just read their release saying they will NOT make an endorsement, even though Trump is the clear choice of their members. Scumbag “leadership”)
As a Teamster, I have a hard time believing these polls. I work along side Luna Laborers and IEOU equipment operators. Either hundreds of people are lying and I actually work with Democrats, or the polls are all wrong.
Maybe “they hate you” 🤓
ROFL!!
Ahh The union bosses are introducing the need for super majority votes going forward. Looks like it’s 60% or bust for those wage increases in the future.
so they should endorse President Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa
Interesting they showed the poll results. Seems a shot over the bow of the Dems.
I stop at Flying J in my pickup for fuel, I cannot imagine one of those truckers milling around voting for Harris. If I stop at Buckys….
Not surprising at all when you realize Biden Harris screwed with everyone’s rice bowl except the elite.
Speaking of rice….at one point, the Chinese were paying a tax on US rice…so there is that…
Those electronic polling results are going to make some Dems very upset.
Why? Surely they can’t be surprised at this point.
Who wants to hear the truth?
We the People.
Trump wins the polls by roughly 30% but the Union will not endorse a presidential candidate.
Translation, the members may help push Trump into the White House but the union leaders will still be funding Harris.
and funding a ton of Democrat Comgressmen and Senators.
The labor laws need to be amended to require union recertification every 2-4 years.
It’s high time for the union members to grow a pair and care about their personal and families lives and screw the leadership.
🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP: IT IS A GREAT HONOR THE TEAMSTERS ARE STAYING NEUTRAL
“ Mr. President, any reaction to the Teamsters decision not to endorse?”
Trump:
“It’s a great honor, they’re, not going to endorse the Democrats, that’s a big thing.
And this is the first time in, I guess, 50, 60 years that that’s happened, Democrats automatically have the Teamsters.
They took a vote and I guess I was at 60 percent or more, and that’s a great honor, I mean, it’s really, I’ve had a lot of Teamsters work for me.”
Source: Fox
President Trumpnhas had a lot of different unions. Quite often he used to stop and talk to the guys on the job site in NYC. More than one family member had met him back then!
Endorsement / ensmorsement
Forget the endorsement, it is obvious the union membership is going to vote for Trump in a big way regardless of the endorsement. The remaining question is: Will the Teamsters leadership reflect the membership?
Oh my goodness, that’s absolutely BRUTAL.
1.3M members, 2/3 will vote for Trump, maybe more.
I think the UAW will break similarly, and Trump hasn’t really opened fire on the Chinese electric vehicles transhipped through Mexico yet. I expect that maneuver down the stretch, and it will be devastating.
I think the Big 3 may be forced to quietly back Trump, as well. The Uniparty has already released Slotkin/Rogers to campaign against the Chinese EV’s, which is notable. The CCP musta cut off McConnell’s cash payments. He has sads.
I am thinking that the proportion of the UAW membership that breaks for Trump over any Uniparty alternative is certainly going to be a majority. Possibly even a supermajority in places.
It would be consistent with some anecdotal evidence of support for President Trump I’ve seen or heard of while at the shipyard.
Unsurprisingly the skew if I could call it that, seems more or less correlated to the proximity to where the actual work happens. Think of the difference between offices and working on the production floor.
The Teamsters is still an Irish gang.
This is big, from an AI search:
Since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency (first election in 1932), the Teamsters union has endorsed a mix of Democratic and Republican candidates. Here’s an approximate breakdown:
Democratic Endorsements:
• 1936: Franklin D. Roosevelt
• 1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt
• 1944: Franklin D. Roosevelt
• 1948: Harry S. Truman
• 1960: John F. Kennedy
• 1964: Lyndon B. Johnson
• 1992: Bill Clinton
• 1996: Bill Clinton
• 2000: Al Gore
• 2004: John Kerry
• 2008: Barack Obama
• 2012: Barack Obama
• 2016: Hillary Clinton
• 2020: Joe Biden
Republican Endorsements:
• 1956: Dwight D. Eisenhower
• 1972: Richard Nixon
• 1980: Ronald Reagan
• 1984: Ronald Reagan
Teamsters supported both parties @ different points, before predominantly endorsing Democrats from the 1990s onward.
Ratio of Endorsements (FDR to Present):
• Democrats: 14
• Republicans: 4
The ratio of Democratic to Republican endorsements is 14:4, or 3.5:1 in favor of the Democrats.
The MSM will down play this…they will ignore it, they will blah blah blah and then try to blind and hurt people again, at another Trump rally, like in Tucson. Don’t back down….they are afraid.
And this is why they want to control AI output.
The left is desperately trying to spin it.
Even when Trump wins by 25 points, the union won’t endorse him. Worse yet, a breakaway faction gives Kamala the headline she is seeking.
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/west-coast-teamsters-break-main-union-endorse-harris
We don’t need a single “west coast” vote. Screw the Left coast. Let’s win, then invade CA, OR, and WA to re-establish the republican form of government guaranteed every American in the Constitution. They’ve been living under single party undemocratic rule for 30 years.
Simply establishing in-person ID voting and banning mail in voting should do the trick.
Some tectonic hi-jinks and an asteroid or two could work wonders as well!
Just saying.
Invade CA to overthrow stolen rule by demonrats and I’ll lead the local resistance movement….
Vote by mail fraud is so deeply entrenched in the communist state of Washington people would have to overthrow the entire state government and everything left of the Cascades to get rid of that farce
The Teamsters are perhaps the group hardest hit by Bidenomics. Between fuel cost, soft shipping volumes and rates, it’s fortunate that the closure of trucking companies has not been even more severe than it has.
Teamsters generally would understand that a 50k tax credit will do essentially nothing for small business or individuals starting a business from scratch. They know the value of their equipment, and what is required to keep them on the road.
My first real job was with UPS where I was forced to join the Teamsters. I paid the dues for 9 months. After the Christmas rush I was laid off. The pre-load Manager kept a Christmas rush hire woman on so he could bend her over on the tailgate of his truck. If you were a Rush hire you were exempt from joining the union. I paid union dues for no support. I have been anti-union ever since 1980.
I have a standing promise I’ve made to join a union when Jimmy Hoffa personally asks me to join, tsquared.
I will honor that promise.
I have been in 3 different unions in my working life. Every single one was because the company bought my card from the local business agent. However, I did not pay dues from my check as that would have exposed the scam. In no case did my previous experience have anything to do with the putative name of the union that I was now in.
When I cast my vote for Trump I wanted to leave a reason why. I wanted to call leadership political hacks who should know who they should endorse.
I wonder who AFSCME members will endorse and vote for?/s
Two different animals…but that no tax on overtime will snag a few AFSCME members…And the nursing unions…
That NoTOOT bit is dynamite!
I absolutely cannot wait for Sundance’s features demonstrating the rocket fuel that has become for our economy and the reshoring of industry project!!
Over a third of teamsters favor Harris?… And we let those morons pilot 30 ton vehicles on American highways.
Not all are drivers. They in some warehouses too
In order for the Teamster bosses to make good on their promise of “the most inclusive, democratic and transparent Presidential endorsement process” in their history, they will have no choice but to endorse the candidate whose members voted for by a margin of nearly two to one…and that would be Trump, of course.
Contrast this with the Teamster’s traditional best buds, the DNC, who just completed the least inclusive, democratic and opaque Presidential nomination process in THEIR history and that makes a Teamsters’ Trump endorsement even more of a no-brainer!
Not to be outdone, I imagine Kamala will finally schedule a press conference to announce her endorsement by Vladimir Putin!
Staged call on the hotline?
I can hear it now:
COMRADE KAMALA: “Oh, Vlad, I’m so honored to be honored with your endorsement…truly, I’m honored.
PUTIN: “Cackle for me, baby, and remove the missles pointed at my border.
COMRADE KAMALA: “(Cackles). Okay, will do!”
🤣
With this news and other positive momentum for Trump and the opposite for Kamela, any poll which says it’s a close race has to be considered completely fraudulent and it’s purpose as Sundance has noted, is to make plausible the steal.
Devastating results for Kamala, especially given that 200,000 Teamsters are Public-Sector workers: “city and county workers, employees in K-12 schools and universities, road workers, and public safety workers.” That is about 15% of the total membership base who are on public payrolls not private-sector.
https://teamster.org/public-services-division-frequently-asked-questions/
Not surprising.
Message to the Teamsters Executive Staff: You behave like you’re tough & will fight anyone who may stands against your union…
Your non-endorsement/endorsement is spineless & weak. What a bunch of Eunuch’s [for you mouth breathing teamster executives, that’s a male who’s been castrated]! Come to Texas little girls, we’ll show you how to Stand Tall. Maybe you’re just menstruating?! (sarc: love tough women, Hate weak men!)
This is why unions generally SUCK.
My father was in a Trade Union in New Jersey. He was very conservative. He would never tell anyone who he was going to vote for or did vote for. When I was little I once asked him who he was voting for President. He said “we have a secret ballot in this country” and that was the end of that.
We can be hopeful.
Either way, there is going to be upheaval. I just feel it in my creaky bones 😂🦴
My creaky bones are in complete agreement!!
The Teamsters are obviously misogynists!
I am sorry but I just do not think she got that high of a percentage. Undecided has more than Kamala.
There are a lot of female Teamsters. I know, used to work in a couple manufacturing plants chock full of them.
… now for the $6 Million Dollar Question … will the Teamsters Union and their AFFILIATES also NOT BE DONATING or LAUNDERING DONATION TO to either party???
Note their track record is nearly 100% democrat party donations, as in $6+ Million in 2020 (that we know of).
The value of Unions is NOT THE FEW 1,000 BALLOTS of their members but the MONEY they “DONATE” and “LAUNDER” for the DNC as well as the vehicles the 39% drive to deliver BALLOTS where needed.
we have adjusted our tactics.
stay tuned. big promises…bigger money
pray
God Bless America
Wanna bet that “straw” poll took place at the Teamsters headquarters?
Dear Libtards,
On Day 1 (Jan 20, 2021) following installation of the potted plant into the WH by the 4th pillar, how many Keystone XL pipeline jobs were lost by the stroke of his pen? His campaign told you they were going to kill the pipeline, and they did — On Day 1!!!!!
Do you really think the democrats care about union jobs?
The Mine Workers union hasn’t done so well in coal country either.
Trump’s on Gutfeld, PST. Sorry, off topic. I’ll take a mulligan.
🤣🤣🤣
Well why publish the results? It just lets the democrats better know how many fraudulent ballots they will need for Kamala
That is a HUGE swing to Trump. They’ve heard the pretentiousness before (Obama), — it’s just the cackling that’s new. And they don’t like it one bit.
Who cares what the dues paying members say, We endorse no one, Proles!!!!
lol the standards were “majority support” for Harris or “universal support” for Trump?
