Why would rank and file workers "choose" to endorse a long time advocate for the TPP/TPIP?

(9,086 posts)9. What a disappointment. All these union endorsements for HRC really show how screwed our nation is.
Labor unions endorsing a candidate who a Walmart bigwig, supported NAFTA, WTO, PNTR w/China, banking deregulation, and pushed for TPP.
If unions can't figure out how to get behind Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton, then they're not ever going to do anything serious to help change that general direction. I guess they're OK with it.
All these union endorsements are strong signals to the super delegates too. It's a big reason Bernie hasn't got more traction with the establishment progressives. It's just really disappointing.
