The Teamsters union on Wednesday said polling shows most of its members back Republican former President Donald Trump's bid for a new term in the White House over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

The 1.3 million-member union said its executive board plans to announce later on Wednesday who it is endorsing in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The union said a national electronic poll of its members from July 24-Sept. 15 showed rank-and-file Teamsters voted 59.6% to endorse Trump compared with 34% for Harris.

Blow up the system by bringing in a person who will install an even worse system. Smart move.

Oh c'mon, he just said he would be dictator for a day! He didn't mean it! Or he did and you should have known better. Whichever one is applicable come November.

The worse system is the blowing up. When things get bad enough, people will revolt to build a better system. The Jan 6th protesters imagined that's what they were doing. But they were deluded or dumb or both. We're not there yet. I hope we can avoid it.

That depends on how bad things need to get.
