Teamsters endorse Clinton
By Tim Devaney


Hillary Clinton picked up a major union endorsement Friday from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

The Teamsters’ executive board voted unanimously to support the Democrat for president, the union said. “We are proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States,” Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa said in a statement. “She is the right candidate for the middle class and working men and women across the country.”

“The Oval Office needs to be occupied by a serious candidate who understands what it means to govern responsibly,” Hoffa added before criticizing Clinton's Republican opponent.

“Donald Trump supports national right-to-work laws that are proven to weaken the middle class and has a long track record of shipping jobs out of the country as a businessman. He is no friend to working Americans.”

4. I'm surprised Trump didn't offer them a quid-pro-quo, like Reagan did with Jackie Presser in 1980.

Then again he probably did; but this time they know better. Good for them.

5. Wait for Cheeto to call the teamsters losers for supporting Hillary

You know he can't keep his big vile mouth shut.
