“Hillary Rodham Clinton will be”, said Chris Shelton, CWA’s president, adding “and whatever you think of Secretary Clinton. she is the candidate who is running against Donald Trump”.

Among registered voters who describe themselves as Republicans or independents who lean Republican, 18 percent say they will vote for neither Trump nor Clinton, and an additional 5 percent say they don’t know how they will vote.
The endorsement from the more than 12 million member organization is a boon for Clinton, who after clinching the Democratic nomination for president will face Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump in November. He said he was willing to work with Clinton to transform the Democratic Party into a party for “working people and young people, and not just wealthy campaign contributors”.
Trump has previously called the war in Iraq was “a big, fat mistake”. And then on the issues, on our own rights, Donald Trump has said that he would put judges on the Supreme Court that would reverse marriage equality, that he would rescind President Obama’s executive orders. “There were none, and they knew there were none”.
Political pundits were mixed on Trump joining the race.
Clinton won the endorsements of numerous AFL-CIO’s largest members in the past year, including the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Federation of Teachers, paving the way for the AFL-CIO to back her campaign.
Trump is likely to keep pounding away at the threat of terrorism and stoking the sense that President Barack Obama’s administration is aloof and unresponsive – and by extension, so is Clinton.
In another interview with Savage, Trump falsely claimed that the US was actively trying to prevent Russian Federation from bombing the terrorist group ISIS.
Trump also cited LGBT support when he decried the idea of allowing Syrian refugees to enter the United States on the basis that Muslims practice Sharia law, which he said institutes “execution for things that you would say are, like, standard parts of life”.
Trump’s continuing troubles have made his Republican opponents hopeful that they can block him at the party nominating convention in July.
He continued: “Remember this, radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American” and said on Twitter: “Thank you to the LGBT community!”

This is not the first time Trump has claimed Clinton is being protected from prosecution. “After centuries of racism, sexism and discrimination of all forms in our country we do not need a major party candidate who makes bigotry the cornerstone of his campaign”, he said. “Just be quiet – to the leaders – because they have to get tougher, they have to get sharper, they have to get smarter, and we have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself”.
