And a labor union guy came out of the dinner to talk with us, to show his support. Said the TPP was not supported by the Union.

And then added that he and everyone else in the rank and file were voting for Bernie. Said the higher ups have to toe the line and support Secy Clinton officially but he knew of no one who was going to vote for her in the upcoming primary.

(We have one last Dem holdout here in Illinois and this was a fundraising dinner. )
