15. What Has Shocked Me So Far Are The Members Of Congress

who have come out in support of Hillary. I can't say I don't know the reason because there IS a reason, but many member of Congress who I always felt who stood tall for "we the people" are stating their support for her. John Lewis's support was a HUGE shock to me, Barnie Frank, Howard Dean and down the line. These members who I always felt weren't DLC Democrats have really disappointed me. I've been doing research about the Unions who "say" they support Hillary, but it seems when you pull back the curtain, so many members don't agree with their leaders. I could list many I've looked at, but it's easy for anyone here to do themselves.

I just entered Hillary Clinton and Unions. From what I see posted here you would think Unions have given her their support, but it seems that perhaps the heads of Unions state their support, but a closer look will show you that members don't.

What prompted me to do this is because I'm watching Thom Hartmann right now who is meeting in Chicago with Union leaders and it seems many Unions are VERY upset with this situation. There are some who've asked how they can fight back against the Bernie Sanders, SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST illusion because they know he's always supported them.

What really seems to be going on is the BIG WHIGS and the KNOWN names are out with their support for her, but behind the curtain there's ANOTHER story. And I as a Bernie supporter am now extremely upset by so many in Congress who seem to be kneeling down and rolling over simply to support her. It's made me RE-THINK my opinion of so many who I felt were on our side.

Guess in the end, THEY really aren't with us... It's hurtful and a real shame as I see s many I held in high regard who seem to be looking the other way. How else can I explain it??
