Bernie Sanders is on the rise in the working wage community

Bernie Sanders wins major endorsement from The United Electrical , Radio machine workers of America. Sanders has been a strong advocate for the working class as he promises workers new initiatives and protections.

The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America threw its weight behind the independent from Vermont at its convention in Pittsburgh, where Sanders delivered a fiery address lambasting President Trump and vowing to champion workers with new initiatives and protections.

“It’s time that the working class got on the offensive,” said Sanders, who received loud applause from the audience. In a written statement, the union’s president, Peter Knowlton, called Sanders “unafraid to challenge Corporate America’s stranglehold on our economy.” Bernie Sanders believes he can beat Trump based on facts from the latest national polls.

According to the latest polls , Bernie is projected to beat Donald trump 53 percent to 39 percent in a hypothetical matchup. On the first stop of a multi-day swing through New Hampshire and Maine, Sanders spent a half-hour focused on health care. He spoke at length about what he framed as the benefits of his Medicare-for-all plan, the immorality of the current system, then took questions and asked the audience some of his own. Sanders then spoke on a situation he had with a school teacher:

A teacher told Sanders she pays about $12,000 per year for health insurance.

“A pretty good percentage of your total income, yes?” he asked.

She said yes.

“That’s what I’m talking about! That’s what I’m talking about!” he said, voice raised. “You don’t hear that discussion on TV too often. ‘How much Bernie’s idea is really expensive,’ ” he said, appearing to make fun of cable news chatter.

“You’re paying $12,000. That is pretty damn expensive,” Sanders said, promising that she and her employer would pay less under his plan.”

Bernie Sanders is pretty confident that he can beat the President, but will his actions be as loud as his words? well see as the race continues.
