Candidate Donald Trump fired a subtle shot toward Hillary Clinton and her traditional constituency today by pointing out some insurgent support amid the Teamsters Union.   The strategy behind this seemingly odd ‘out-of-left-field‘ shot is actually quite brilliant:

As with almost everything Trump messages, the element of uncomfortable truth comes directly to the surface.  Because the inherent disposition of the opponent is to avoid talking truthfully and directly (see: own the downside), the discomfort is directly felt by them.

An earlier NPR article highlighted an interview with a Teamsters union member who pointed out their leadership is precariously stuck between a rock and a Trump place. The Union leadership beholden to historic Democrat political relationships, yet the rank-and-file membership support the America First economic message of Donald Trump.
Indeed there are several Teamsters Facebook pages for Donald Trump support within the union.  Example HERE and Example HERE.
With Donald Trump taking on Hillary Clinton directly, he is simultaneously firing kill shots into the formerly guaranteed (taken for granted) camps of supporters.  This is masterful insurgency and non-linear campaigning.
In addition to directly confronting Hillary Clinton, Trump is creating simultaneous battle-fronts that must be defended by her campaign.  If Clinton moves to say her policy is better for the union, Trump simply responds with the: “are you better off now than you were seven years ago” argument.   And obviously Clinton is transparently tied to TPP despite her protestations to the contrary.
Lastly, something to note – Pay close attention to how the media rolls out this specific “blue collar” story.  We are about to see what approach the MSM intend to take in an effort to protect their preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton.
