Some of these Teamsters may be part of Hillary's "basket of deplorables" or Lynn's 'forgotten' Democrats.  

Some of these Teamsters are women; some of them may be part of that 42% of women who voted for Trump that our liberal ivory-tower folks here in university town can't understand.

Many of them drive fossil-fueled diesel trucks in order to support their families which deliver food and other commodities to those of us here in ivory-tower land and throughout the rest of the country.  

Many of them do not have the college degrees that many of our ivory-tower people think are mandatory for intelligent voting.  

What 'technology' do you see replacing all these truck drivers in the next 10-20 years?  The railroads aren't going to do that.  They are stacked and packed already.  

"If you bought it, a truck brought it."  

They aren't all Teamsters, but ignoring them is a bad idea politically.  

The few I know personally listen to talk radio driving down the freeways and vote!
