They have no other place to go than to stay with their BIG GOVERNMENT brethren.
Union money will still go 99.99 % to the Demonrats, and always will.
I can’t wait for SOCIALIZED medicine all ran ( ruined ) by unionized health care bureaucrats…once they check your party affiliation card…the treatment will be governed by whether you have a D or, an R or I, on it !
YEEEEHAWWW !!
