"Great endorsement. I stand with union executives."

Under the bus . . .

Oh Yeah!

for the Democratic opponent of a GOP, anti-union candidate. You can look at it from that perspective.

the ironworkers in my family to vote for Bernie - they like him best but are afraid. Sick sick cowards.

Do these endorsements actually help Hillary Clinton? Because the inevitable member backlash seems to be a great source of publicity for Bernie Sanders.

Can we assume you are unhappy with this reaction?

from the fact that the FB posters were unhappy. They weren't a representative sample of iron workers.

Regarding these various endorsements remains....let's just say ummm. ......consistent.

are much more likely to state their views publicly, in an effort to change minds, than people who are content with the decision.

that a bunch of negative posts shows that the typical union member is against the HRC endorsement.

appear to come from the usual paid Hillary staffers.

As one of the pro-Bernie ironworkers wrote:

Union members continue to get screwed by the establishment but the Union execs throw their lot in with the same folks that screw the rank and file.
