    I'd like some labor reporter to weigh in on this but my sense is Sanders is doing much better with unions than he did in 2016. Which, if true, will have a big impact.https://twitter.com/nidhiprakash/status/1217084591204257795 …

    SCOOP: Bernie Sanders just gained the endorsement of Nevada's largest teachers union. Clark County is the 5th largest school district in the nation. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhiprakash/nevada-teachers-union-endorse-bernie-sanders-ccea …

        Yes and no. The rank-and-file support is there. However national unions like CWA and Postal Workers have stayed out unlike the last time

        Can't speak to this particular union, but it is often the case that union leadership "endorses" a candidate without consulting membership. Any real union (excluding cop unions, of course) who endorses Trump would be weird AF, but any D will do.

        Even without explicit endorsements he's doing better, SEIU and the teacher's union endorsed Hillary in about September 2015 iirc. Having no 'chosen' candidate help by itself.

        Ah, so in keeping with the general pattern that there are far fewer endorsements in 2020 than there were in 2016. People are waiting for for a front-runner.

        Sure doesn't seem like it. He had far more national and local endorsements in 2016.pic.twitter.com/3YuO3zCgee

        At this point or is that total from the end of the nomination process sometime in late spring early summer 2016?
