On August 16, the national Working Families Party announced that its members had voted to endorse Hillary Clinton for President. See this story, which says she won 68%. Most who did not support her chose “no endorsement”. The endorsement process is separate from the nomination process, and each state Working Families Party that is on the ballot will decide whether to nominate her. In the past, the only state unit of the Working Families Party that has nominated anyone for President is the New York WFP.
It is possible that the WFP of Oregon and South Carolina will put Hillary Clinton on the ballot as their nominee. The Connecticut WFP will not, because that would have meant gathering 7,500 valid signatures, which the party did not attempt.
What a surprise!
“What a surprise!”
My thoughts precisely. (so there is no ambiguity Clay’s statement is posed sarcastically)
Truly a joke of a so called “progressive” party. They are simply a patronage party for the Democrats.
In New York State, they were heavy in the bank for Sanders. After the primary, there was a few local news articles discussing unions – some of whom that were pro-Hillary – considering withdrawing funding over the state WFP moving away ideologically from the organizations funding it. (The WFP for example are very anti-Cuomo.)
Has there been any word on who the New York Conservative Party will endorse in November? Never been able to find anything online, and this is a year where I could see them not endorsing Trump.
The Conservative Party will most likely be the last hope for Evan McMullin trying to get on the ballot in New York.
Mike Long (guy who controls the Conservative Party) has already said they’re endorsing Trump. Another big surprise.
I saw the Conservative Party website a week ago. They were already going big for Trump.
The Working Families Party is just another ballot line. Like the Liberal Party used to be. Giving their ballot line is no surprised.
