NYT Reporter: Many Culinary Union members voted for Sanders anyway

From the NYT Nevada Primary real-time updates:

The Culinary Union threw its weight around in the weeks leading up to the caucuses. With 60,000 members, it’s the state’s largest and most powerful union.

Culinary Union leadership urged members to vote for anyone other than Sanders because of his “Medicare for all” plan, including in texts this morning.

Many rank-and-file members of the Culinary Union voted for Sanders anyway. It looks like Sanders did well at caucuses for casino workers on the Strip.

They voted for Trump because he was gonna bring coal back. Then he approved the new tax plan. Now they can’t claim all of the travel related expenses and standing there looking stupid. Oh and he did not bring back coal. 🙄
