Every Union in the country, representing millions of formerly Dem voters for the most part, opposes this secret Corporate deal.
They have the money to keep the promise they made, money that used to go to the Dem Party, spending it instead to oust those who betrayed them.
All over the Social Media last night, Nurses Unions, who know how this 'trade' deal will affect them thanks to the leaks from Whistle Blowers, and dozens of other Union Reps, the AFLCIO eg, were enraged at the betrayal.
But why am I trying to help you understand that outside the DC bubble there are millions of extremely angry voters ready to join the effort to rid Congress, which is SUPPOSED to represent them, of Corporate funded candidates. AND they have already done so, see the Mid Terms and what happened to Corporate funded Third Way candidates as opposed to real Progressives who kept their seats.
It helps Bernie for DC to remain out of touch with the real world actually.
