What does the GOP now have that we don't? They now control

90% of who get a job or loses a job.

Without a large union labor force(down to 2%)the Democratic Party has control of less than 2% of jobs.

Also those that are in unions don't always vote with us and are always trying to get out of paying any dues.

How do we fix it. I don't know

People who habitually vote for them no longer have an idea who the Democrats are or what they might stand for.

When I look at most of the people running, neither do I.

We will be watching, and they know it.

Since they control so much of the government, they have that responsibility.

2013 union membership was 11.6%....over 35% in the public sector...the state with the lowest union membership rate is North Carolina at 3%-150% of your stated national average.

And this is why I disregard many of your posts-your premises are often faulty.
